Research question:
Is there a relationship between expressions of self-concept and the individualism/collectivism domain of culture?
Our lab report topic
Individualistic versus collectivist cultures
Individualism versus Collectivism.
“…the degree to which cultures will encourage, on the one hand, the tendency for people to look after themselves and their immediate family only, or, on the other hand, for people to belong to ingroups that are supposed to look after its members in exchange for loyalty.” (Matsumoto & Juang, p 22)
Concept was developed by Geert Hofstede in relation to work values and nationality.
Our lab report topic
Expressions of self-concept
Idiocentric- statements about personal qualities

Scoring the “I am…” statements
Open the “I am…” activity sheet you saved after Tutorial 1
Individually categorize your statements as:
Id (Idiocentric)
Gr (Group) or
Allo (Allocentric)
In pairs discuss how you categorised your statements
Discuss any that you found difficult to categorize
Scoring the “I am…” statements

Group (Gr)- statements about group membership, demographic characterisitics and groups with which people share a common fate.
e.g. I am Italian, I am a mother, I am a nurse
Allocentric (Allo)-statements about interdependence, friendship, responsiveness to others, sensitivity to how others perceive you.
e.g. I am kind to others, I am easily embarrassed, I am happiest with my family
