Shengdong Lin, Zhongfang Yang, Sun Yat-Sen University, China
In Markus (1977)’s seminal study and many other studies following her paradigm, people are
considered to have a clear self-schema if they describe themselves as “Either X or X”, X being an
adjective, like independent, and X an adjective carrying the opposite meaning to X, like dependent.
People who identify themselves as “both X and X” or check at middle of a bipolar scale with X

this paper, we argue that the Chinese who are accustom to a “yin-yang” world-view, often describe
themselves as “both X and X”.
