Answer: B - In other cultures, we find that concepts of person and self are cultural constructions. Many cultures view a person primarily by looking at his or her place in the social unit. Western theories are heavily biased toward their perception of the independent self. Even within individualistic cultures (U.S. and Western Europe) women and minorities are likely to see themselves as more intricately connected with others. This not only explains why some theories may not apply to all groups, it also encourages research across cultures.
