Collectivism and Individualistic Cultures

More than two-thirds of the world’s people are born into collectivistic cultures

Less than one third of the population live in individualistic cultures.The we-identity of the Japanese is quite

foreign to the I-identity of the American who values individualistic needs and goals over group needs and goals.

Self-Construal: Varied Self-Images Within A Culture

Self-Construal: Varied Self-Images Within A Culture

concern, but individuals within a culture have different images of self and vary on their views on the degree to which they give others face or restore their own face in conflict situations
