Document Summary

Conformity to dress, habits, language, and rules of peers can be highly influential. Identification with peer group is key to survival of the next generation. Peers shape expressions of a personality traits, with emphasis on some and downplaying others. Personality may also influences the types of pears we are drawn to in the first place. Culture: a program of shared rules that governs the behaviour of members of a community or society and a set of values, beliefs, and attitudes shared by more members of that community. May be as influential as any biological process. Individualistic cultures: cultures in which the self is regarded as autonomous, and individual goals and wishes are prized about duty and relations with others. Collective cultures: cultures in which the self is regarded as embedded in relationships, and harmony with ones group is prized about individual goals and wishes. We often make personal attributions for behaviour when they really result from cultural norms.
