2063.86 Self-construals in different contexts among high-school students, Qinghua Yuan,
Qinmei Xu, Zhejiang University, China
More and more researchers agreed that there are two kinds of self-construals in any culture.
Researchers began to apply the concept of self-construals to individual differences. And more and
more researchers believed that that self-contsruals were context-dependent. We explored
self-construals in different contexts (at school, at home, context-free) among 444 high-school
students by between-subjects design in structural item-rank assessment. The results showed that:
(1) The independent self-construals among high-school students at school are significantly higher
than at home; (2) There were significant grade differences in the interdependent self among
high-school students between the context of school and context-free.
