So people who have independent selves, and of course these individuals have a very strong sense of connectedness and dependence on others, they are more likely to act differently across different situations for several reasons, and we're going to unpack them here.
00:21
The first reason is contextual sensitivity, so this means that individuals with interdependent selves tend to be more attuned to social and contextual cues.
00:34
This means that they're more sensitive to the expectations, norms, and roles within different situations.

The second reason involves social norms and roles.
01:08
Interdependent individuals often place a higher value on social norms and roles.
01:15
They feel they are more inclined to conform to societal expectations and fulfill their role obligations within specific social contexts.
01:26
This adherence to norms and roles can often result in varying behaviors across situations as they navigate these expectations that are associated with each role or social group that they are a part of.
