Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melissa's decision to buy brightly coloured scrubs in a retro "hippy tie-dyed" style, diverging from her usual preference for pastel-coloured materials with a subtle floral pattern, reflects her spontaneous self or the "I". The "I" represents the spontaneous, less socialized aspect of the self, according to George Herbert Mead's theory of the self, which includes the "I" and the "me". The "I" is the part of the self that acts on impulses, desires, and individual preferences, which is what Melissa is expressing by choosing something out of her norm on a whim.
