15. Assume you are a cultural psychologist conducting research on how people from various cultural backgrounds construct themselves. Participants from an individualistic and a collectivistic culture will be compared, as you have decided. In your study, you ask participants to use "I am" statements to describe who they are. Individualistic culture participants primarily use personality traits (such as "I am funny" or "I am outgoing"), whereas collectivistic culture participants primarily use relational roles (such as "I am a sibling" or "I am a member of a community").
Based on the findings of your study, how would you interpret the relationship between culture and self- construal?
