- People from individualistic cultures are more likely to mention personal attributes when they finish the sentence "I am . . .," such as "I am tall,""I am ambitious," or "I am amazing."
- People from collectivistic cultures are more likely to mention group memberships and affiliations, such as "I am a daughter,""I am Indonesian," or "I am a Teamster."
- Individualism tends to separate the self from others, whereas collectivism tends to unite the self and others.
