['kʌltʃərəl læg; englisch »kulturelles Zurückbleiben«] das, - -/- -s, Soziologie: kulturelle Verspätung beziehungsweise Phasenverschiebung; von W. F. Ogburn (»Social change«, 1922) geprägte Bezeichnung für das von ihm erkannte krisenhafte Phänomen des Anpassungsrückstandes der immateriellen, »adaptiven« (d. h. sich anpassenden) Kultur (z. B. soziale Organisation, Recht, Ethik) gegenüber der sich beschleunigt wandelnden materiellen Kultur (naturwissenschaftlich-technisch-ökonomischer Fortschritt) im Industriezeitalter. Durch wissenschaftliche Planung und sozialinterventionistische Politik sollen solche Fehlanpassungen reduziert werden.
