Teacher Talk
Collectivism:
Sees the group as the important element → individuals are just members of the group
Group values are/can be different from those of the individual members
The group thinks its own thoughts
Instead of judging the group as a bunch of individuals interacting, it judges the group as a whole
Individualism:
Identifies primarily with self → needs of the individual are satisfied before those of the group
Being self-sufficient guarantees the well-being of the group
High value placed on independence and self-reliance
In general, people tend to distance themselves psychologically and emotionally from each other.
One may choose to join groups, but group membership is not essential to one’s identity or success
