Abstract
Is the rise of individualism global? And if so, why? We examined 51 years of data in 77 countries, observing increases in individualistic practices and values in most of these countries. Additionally, this shift was linked to increasing socioeconomic development and decreasing pathogen prevalence and disaster frequency.
