The concept of self can be categorized into two types: the independent self, which is characterized by autonomy, control, and problem-solving capabilities, typically prevalent in Western cultures; and the interdependent self, rooted in community and influenced by one's environment, common in Eastern cultures. Research indicates that these identities are not genetically predetermined but rather learned through cultural experiences, as individuals can adopt the self-concept of their environment. The ability to navigate personal changes effectively may require an acceptance of both identities, allowing individuals to apply the appropriate self when necessary, such as demonstrating independence in specific situations while also valuing interdependence in communal contexts.
