Implicit theories and self-perceptions of traitedness across cultures: Toward integration of cultural and trait psychology perspectives

From the trait perspective, traitedness, or consistency of behavior, is expected in all cultures. However, cultural psychologists argue that behavior may be more determined by traits in individualistic than collectivistic cultures.
