Abstract

Chinese and American culture differences lead to the differences of Chinese and American sports culture. This article dissects that the main differences lie in the culture value dimensions. And it uses qualitative research method and comparison method to demonstrate Chinese sports culture and American sports culture from the perspective of Hofstede's four culture value dimensions: collectivism and individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity and femininity. It also analyses the reasons of these differences. Then this article makes a result that the differences of collectivism and individualism lead to all these differences of culture value dimensions naturally. This “we” consciousness and “I” consciousness may give an explanation to the communicative conflicts.
