In collectivist cultures in which the self is seen as interdependent, people tend to value highly

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In collectivist cultures, the emphasis is on the group's harmony, and individual goals are subordinate to those of the group. Therefore, the ability to maintain harmony in a social context is highly valued. The search for close relationships is also highly valued as relationships are crucial to maintaining the harmony within the group. Expressing one's uniqueness is seen as potentially disrupting the group's harmony, and finding truth within is not as highly valued as conforming to the group's norms and values.
