This post, How to meet multicultural customers, is specially for my BF-student Lema. She is working with her theses and her topic is: how social workers face(?) their multicultural customers. On this post there is some suggestions for theory part of her research.
Maybe Geert Hofstede's: Dimensions of national cultures is one of the basic idea for your research as we discussed. Definition of the culture is the first thing. (In other words: What do you mean about culture in your current research. How do you define Finnish culture and how do you define the opposite culture you are comparing to it.)
Geert Jan Hofstede: Cross-Cultural Dimensions
• Power Distance
• Individualism
• Masculinity
• Uncertainty Avoidance
• Long-Term Orientation (Links for further information.)

On this blog I have a published post by name: Shalom Schwartz-the content and structure of values. I suggest that there is a big question of values behind your topic? Urie Bronfenbrenner and his Ecological Theory is my favorite one.

Read also J.N. Nielsen's text: The second Law of Geopolitical Thought. I'm familiar with Urie Bronfenbrenner's theory, this text is in Finnish but you can find out a lot of links in English.
This can maybe help you a little bit: The article "The Clash of Civilizations?" by Samuel P. Huntington is an
intriguing view on how modern day civilizations have grown to become
cultural and economic entities trying to make new identities for
themselves."(See source here). Samuel P. Huntington is a researcher that you maybe become familiar within your research.

And last but not the least there is a three circles model that is a very useful model for many different contexts.
How to utilize this model as a tool within your research?
e.g. such as
1 Finnish culture values (?)
2 comparison culture values
3 social workers values
etc.
Kimmo Ketola's research Suomalaisten arvot ja uskonnollisuus is maybe interesting/helpful for you.
