Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the concept of human-computer 
interaction in cultural and national contexts. Building and extending upon the 
framework for understanding research in usability and culture by Honold [3], we 
give an overview of publications in culture and HCI between 1998 and 2008, 
with a narrow focus on high-level journal publications only. The purpose is to 
review current practice in how cultural HCI issues are studied, and to analyse 
problems with the measures and interpretation of this studies. We find that 
Hofstede's cultural dimensions has been the dominating model of culture, 
participants have been picked because they could speak English, and most 
studies have been large scale quantitative studies. In order to balance this 
situation, we recommend that more researchers and practitioners do 
qualitative, empirical work studies.
