中文摘要：

松-紧文化是跨文化心理学研究的新维度，它发轫于人类学的文化田野考察，致力于刻画不同文化间社会规范强度和对偏差行为宽容程度的结构性特征。松-紧文化有其较为明确的概念定义和成因，以及在国家、区域和个体层次上的测量方法。松-紧文化已广泛运用于自我、人格、心理健康与幸福感、判断与决策、创新、脑认知神经和基因、恐怖主义与社会和谐等心理学基础和应用研究主题之中。未来研究可进一步甄别细分社会规范中的描述性规范和命令性规范，并综合吸收其它研究视角的长处。

英文摘要：

Tight-loose culture, a new dimension in empirical research in the field of cross-culture psychology, sheds some light on the interpretation of social norms and the tolerance of deviant behaviors in diverse cultures. This paper elaborates on the definition of tight-loose culture, its underlying causes as well as measurement method at the national, regional and individual level. This study finds out that tight-loose culture has been widely integrated into the research of self-consciousness, personality cultivation and mental state. It can also be applied to the study of judgment, decision-making and innovation. Besides, tight-loose culture has become an interdisciplinary research area that incorporates culture into cognitive neuroscience, biology （gene） and national safety （social harmony and terrorism）. Taking the merits of relevant research perspectives into account, future research in this field （tight-loose culture） could orient the distinction of descriptive norms and injunctive norms.
