Yes, it's more obvious in small towns. However, I think it's more like an ideal similar to "political correctness", but cultural. Interviewing scandinavian athletes must be boring indeed. Everyone is so terribly "quite pleased". Jonas is a mystery though. In an old interview on Youtube he looks real shy. In fact, his mother talks more than he does. I think he's struggled to become more self-confident and those over-act from time to time.
