Abstract	In this work, we are exploring mechanisms that may contribute to cultural dynamics and cultural diversity. To this end, we are experimenting with an extended Axelrod model that uses a Moore neighborhood and heterogeneous sets of cultural features per agent. We are gradually introducing a number of psychologically realistic, basic and more advanced, conceptual models of cultural affinity perception and imitation and show that in many cases the population stabilizes to multi-cultural configurations. We also demonstrate the transitive advantage of two other mechanisms, attraction and spatial migration. In sum, our results show that a mix of initially differentially evolved or developed agents will not converge to monoculture, and that this is due to intrinsic psychological factors that are key players in behavioral change.
