What is the difference between a collectivistic versus an individualistic orientation?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Individualistic orientation reflects the traditional Western cultural values of independence, self-reliance, and competition
- Collectivistic orientation reflects the traditional Eastern (Asian) cultural values of concern for the good of the group and cooperation
- The child's self-concept is directly influenced by the cultural orientation, either independent or interdependent
- These cultural orientations can be viewed in light of children's social interactions, gender and moral development, parenting styles, and educational priorities
- The values and priorities are embedded within each of these cultures and influence most aspects of child development
