Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collectivist cultures prioritize the needs and goals of the group or family over individual desires. In this case, Elvira's family's preference for her to live near them would hold more weight than her own personal goal of living in a warmer climate. Therefore, if Elvira identifies with collectivist values, she would likely choose the job in Alaska to honor her family's wishes.
