Abstract

The most powerful model of self-construal, namely independent self and interdependent self seems useful only when it is related to individualism and collectivism, and is somehow insufficient to illustrate the psychological diversity among countries sharing the same culture. Researchers of current study proposed an alternative model of self-construal (SOA model) to find out a better frame than independent and interdependent model. The current study was designed to distinguish the subtle differences of self-construal among 3 countries within same collectivistic culture, which were hardly explained by the dichotomous model. The data of 462 participants was used for one-way ANOVA and correlation analysis. The results showed that Korean and Chinese had similar scores in Subjectivity (S) and were both higher than Japanese students, while in the respect of Objectivity (O), Japanese students’ score was highest, followed by Korean and Chinese students. The pattern related to Autonomy (A) was similar to that of subjectivity. In the correlation between self-esteem and three factors of SOA, different patterns occurred among these countries. For Korean, subjectivity and autonomy had a positive correlation, while objectivity had a negative correlation with self-esteem. Japanese showed a positive correlation between subjectivity and self-esteem as well as a negative correlation between objectivity and self-esteem. There was no significant correlation between autonomy and self-esteem on Japanese samples. As to Chinese, the patterns of correlation were similar with those of Korean participants. In the future, studies on the comparison among western countries are required to testify the SOA model one step further.
