Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/8395Traditionally, when it comes to describing an individual’s self-construal much of the focus is on its interdependent and independent aspects or dimensions. Individuals with a more independent self-construal are generally more focused on their own goals and driven by their needs and are usually autonomous from other individuals. Individuals with a more interdependt self-construal tend to be more group focused and understand and play their role in group settings. Although these dimensions of the self-construal have been very well established many have suspected that an individual’s self-construal may not be as unidimensional as previously believed. This study finds evidence to support that an individual’s self-construal is multidimensional containing both collectivistic and individualistic tendencies varying in strength and influence.Text56 pages1 file (.pdf)enSelf-construalsMultidimensionalInterdependenceIndependenceThesis
