Independent and Interdependent Self-construals and Socio-cultural Factors in 29 Nations

Abstract

students from 29 nations answered a shortened version of the Singelis scales for Independent- Interdependent self-construal. A pan-cultural factor analysis found four factors: Group Loyalty, Relational Interdependence, Uniqueness, and low Contextual Self. Multisample Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a cross- culturally stable, and comparable, six item scale for Interdependence. Interdependence was related to low English fluency and high national identification, low social status and higher social sharing of positive feel- ings. Independence was associated with high English fluency and high social status. A multivariate analysis controlling for national income, national identification, English fluency, students' relative social status, parent's educational level
