TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive analysis of interpersonal distances over a large data set (N = 8,943 participants from 42 countries) was presented, which attempted to relate the preferred social, personal, and intimate distances observed in each country to a set of individual characteristics of the participants, and some attributes of their cultures.

TL;DR: This paper measured marital satisfaction and several factors that might potentially correlate with it based on self-report data from individuals across 33 countries and introduced the raw data available for anybody interested in further examining any relations between them and other country-level scores obtained elsewhere.

TL;DR: A crucial finding indicates that couple relationship education programs and interventions need to be culturally adapted, as skill trainings such as dyadic coping lead to differential effects on relationship satisfaction based on the culture in which couples live.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an open-access database of selfreported assessments of self-reported marital satisfaction with data from 7178 participants representing 33 different countries and found that individual differences have a larger influence on marital satisfaction compared to the country of origin.

TL;DR: The results show that the individual characteristics were more strongly related than country-level factors to self-reported odor awareness in different social contexts, suggesting that people living in different cultures and different climate conditions may still share some similar patterns of odor awareness if they share other individual-level characteristics.
