For example, individuals having predominately independent perspectives may make attributions that too, are more independent in nature versus someone having an interdependent perspective.
For this Discussion, consider the extent to which you identify with the independent and/or interdependent perspectives. To what extent to you feel you control your behavior versus being informed by other people in order to think, feel, and behave? Consider how these perspectives might impact your daily life.
Post by Day 4 a brief description of interdependent and independent cultural perspectives. Provide one example of either your own behavior or that of someone you observed demonstrating either an interdependent or an independent self-construal. Last, describe (at least two) factors that may have impacted why the individual in your example held an interdependent or independent self-construal.
