Cultural tightness-looseness represents the degree to which a particular culture possesses strong behavioral norms, and the degree to which members of that culture are likely to sanction individuals who deviate from those norms. While tightness-looseness has been quantified for a large and growing number of countries around the world, there are many countries where a tightness-looseness score has yet to be determined, thus impeding the inclusion of those countries in cross-cultural research with a tightness-looseness focus. There is a dearth of research on cultural tightness-looseness in South America in particular. We report results from a national survey of 1,265 Ecuadorian residents which provided quantification of the relatively tight culture of Ecuador.
文化松紧程度代表了特定文化拥有强烈行为规范的程度，以及该文化成员可能制裁偏离这些规范的个体的程度。虽然全球已有大量且数量不断增加的国家对文化松紧程度进行了量化，但仍有许多国家的文化松紧程度得分尚未确定，这就阻碍了将这些国家纳入以文化松紧程度为重点的跨文化研究。特别是在南美洲，关于文化松紧程度的研究匮乏。我们报告了一项对1265名厄瓜多尔居民的全国性调查结果，该调查对厄瓜多尔相对紧密的文化进行了量化。
