Tight and Loose Cultures
Some countries are strict, others are a little more laid back – You could say "tight" or "loose." An international team of scientists has come up with a psychological and cultural study of 33 countries. The study compares how those nations enforce social rules and customs. The results are in a study published in the journal "Science." So for our Geo Quiz, we want you to name the two countries that are on the opposite ends of the tight/loose spectrum.
