The Ideal

The current study examined cross-generational differences in both independent and interdependent self-construal. Two studies using samples from across Japan that included a wide age range demonstrated that, with increasing age, Japanese respondents scored higher on independence, which was measured by a self-expression scale, and lower on interdependence, as measured by a rejection avoidance scale. Furthermore, these cross-over effects were not observed with regard to participants' preferences (i.e., the ideal state of the self), but were only observed in their actual selves (i.e., the actual state of the self). These results suggest that the Japanese, especially younger generations, cannot help but behave in an interdependent way despite being eager to be independent.

Chapter 4, “Nuanced and Dissenting Voices,” examines the nuances diverse parents brought to their understandings of childrearing and self-esteem. Framed within Bakhtinian theory, this chapter gives voice to African American parents, working-class parents, conservative Christian parents, and mothers, particularly women who had experienced low self-esteem. These parents endorsed self-esteem, but refracted the language of the self-esteem imaginary in ways that made sense, given their diverse values and ideological commitments, social positioning, and idiosyncratic experiences. This chapter also describes the perspectives of two groups from the larger study who challenged key elements of the dominant discourse: grandmothers of Centerville children who raised their children in an earlier era, and Taiwanese parents who grew up in a different cultural context but were temporarily residing and raising their children in Centerville. These two groups of dissenters underscore again the book’s theme that self-esteem is rooted in time and place.

Most of the relevant research and conceptualization has occurred within individualism-collectivism. Kagitcibasi suggests that self can be defined as autonomous, relatedness, and autonomous-related self in Turkish cultural contexts. Triandis make the distinction between vertical and horizontal individualism/collectivism.  Vertical collectivism includes perceiving the self as a part of a collective and accepting inequality. Horizontal collectivism includes perceiving the self as a part of the collective, but seeing all members of the collective as the same; thus equality is stressed. Vertical individualism includes the conception of an autonomous individual and acceptance of inequality. Horizontal individualism includes the conception of an autonomous individual and emphasis on equality. In light of the literature the aim of this study is to examine whether vertical and horizontal individualism/collectivism and self construal’s predict autonomous, relatedness, and autonomous-related self at university student. The research group consisted of 236 (66.7% female, 33.3% male) university students. To collect data the autonomous, relatedness, and autonomous-related, self construal and vertical and horizontal individualism/collectivism scales were used. To analyze the data Pearson Correlation and a structural equation model were used. Overall, we found that vertical and horizontal individualism/collectivism a significantly predict autonomous, relatedness, and autonomous-related self. Specifically, vertical individualism significantly predicted autonomous-related self.  Individuals, who have autonomous-related self, feel equal in status with others in groups. ÖzetLiteratürde Bireycilik ve toplulukçuluk üzerine çok sayıda araştırma ve kavramsallaştırma oluşmuştur. Kağıtçıbaşı Türk toplumuna ve sanayileşen toplumlara özgü yeni bir model öne sürmüştür. Türk kültüründe benliği özerk, ilişkisel ve özerk ilişkisel olarak tanımlamayı önermektedir. Tridianis Yatay ve dikey bireycilik /toplulukçuluk ayrımı yapmıştır. Dikey toplulukçulukta benlik, bir topluluğun parçası olarak algılanır bu toplulukta eşitsizlik kabul edilir. Yatay toplulukçulukta benlik, bir topluluğun parçası olarak algılanır ancak topluluğun tüm üyeleri aynı ve eşit olarak görülür. Dikey bireycilik özerk birey ve eşitsizliğin kabul edilmesi anlayışından oluşur. Yatay bireycilik özerk birey ve eşitliğe vurgu anlayışından oluşur. Literatürden hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı Üniversite öğrencilerinde Yatay ve dikey bireycilik/toplulukçuğun ve benlik kurgularının, özerk, ilişkisel, özerk-ilişkisel benliği yordayıp yordamadığını araştırmaktır. Araştırma grubu 236 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır(%66.7 kadın, %33.3erkek). Verileri toplamak için özerklik, ilişkisellik, özerk-ilişkisellik, benlik kurgusu ve Yatay ve dikey bireycilik/toplulukçuluk ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon katsayısı ve Yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, özerklik, ilişkisellik, özerk-ilişkisellik, benlik kurgusu ve Yatay ve dikey bireycilik/toplulukçuluk, full model oluşturmak için veriler ile uyumlu olduğunu göstermiştir. Genel olarak Yatay ve dikey bireycilik/toplulukçuluk benlik kurgusu,  özerklik, ilişkisellik, özerk ilişkiselliği yordamıştır. Özellikle yatay bireycilik özerk ilişkisel benliği anlamlı olarak yordamıştır. Bu bulgu özerk-ilişkisel benlik kurgusuna sahip olanların kendilerini ait hissettikleri gruptaki tüm bireyleri ile aynı ve eşit olarak gördüklerine işaret etmektedir.

The Rich

This chapter argues that cosmopolitanism as a framework for global gender justice fails to capture the rich diversity and the power differences among women. It evaluates two prominent cosmopolitan positions, individualist cosmopolitanism and institutional cosmopolitanism. Individualist cosmopolitanism relies on an abstract and atomistic notion of the self. Abstracting from social and cultural context diminishes the significance of identity, and holding a strongly individualist notion of the self obscures the power relationships that undergird structural inequality. Institutional cosmopolitanism accounts for our interconnections through unequal global economic and political relationships, but it leaves aside issues of gender and culture. The chapter draws on the work of Rabindranath Tagore to construct a new type of cosmopolitanism, relational cosmopolitanism, that recognizes our interdependence, appreciates diversity, and criticizes power relationships. Supplemented by feminist ideas of world traveling and difference as a creative resource, relational cosmopolitanism is a promising framework for feminists interested in global gender justice.
