Individualism-Collectivism is a commonly used dimension in comparative
cultural studies. The performance of individualism and collectivism has been found diverse
at different levels of analysis. While the constructs are seen as opposite poles of a bipolar
dimension at the national level, they are demonstrated as independent concepts at the
individual level. Recent debates have suggested these constructs should be treated as
individual states in relation to social contexts rather than individual traits at the individual
level of analysis. This perspective allows us to explain possibilities for any individual to
have both individualistic and collectivistic attitudes. Based on the data of three latest waves
of World Values Survey, this paper tests the variations of individualism and collectivism at
the individual level under effects of value orientations toward key social relations that
individuals involved in, namely family, friends and work. Furthermore, the differences in
the effects between the “West” and the “East” and how it changes over time are also taken
into account. The findings show that individualism is emphasized among individuals who
place work as important, which is stronger in the “West” than in the “East” but not clear
over time. Collectivism is favored among individuals who consider family and friends
significant, and these links are found stronger in the “East” than in the “West”. Especially,
individuals‟ preference for the value towards family has negative effects on individualism
but positive impact on collectivism and these links are evident over the three waves. |
