===Low uncertainty avoidance=== In contrast, people can also exhibit characteristics of low uncertainty avoidance. Unlike high UA, those with a low level use informality in interaction with others, they often rely on informal norms and behaviors in most matters. Also, they will show moderate resistance to change.<ref name="HofstedeInsights" /> Individuals that come from a culture with low UA care about letting the future come without the control or plan of it. Rules that are placed do not have an influence on them. Those with a low UA believe that it is okay to question the people in higher positions.<ref name="McCornack2017" /> They have lower stress and anxiety rates. Younger people in low UA are respected<ref name="Hofstede2001" /> and when they are being taught the beliefs within their culture, they do not have to follow them right away. When new ideas are brought up, they are open-minded when hearing about them.<ref name="McCornack2017" /> People from low UA don't find situations that aren't clear as problems that might cause them trouble. Originality will have higher value and likely to be taken into consideration.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Adair|first1=Wendi L.|last2=Xiong|first2=Tracy X.|date=2018|title=How Chinese and Caucasian Canadians Conceptualize Creativity: The Mediating Role of Uncertainty Avoidance|journal=Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology|language=en|volume=49|issue=2|pages=223β238|doi=10.1177/0022022117713153|s2cid=149267350 |issn=0022-0221}}</ref> Additionally, people with low uncertainty avoidance do not have any difficulty with interacting with people who are different from them.<ref name="TenMinutes" /> ====Low uncertainty avoidance countries==== Some of the lowest uncertainty avoidance countries include Jamaica, Denmark, Singapore, Sweden, and Ireland.<ref name="Anbari2003" />
