Interdependence vs. Independence
Human beings usually categorize themselves into individual or group entities. These self-conceptions usually arise in people's minds and determine their motivation as well as their cognition. There are usually two perceptions that people have about themselves regarding their relationship with others. The first is the independent self-concept, where an individual's conception about his or her existence is that he or she exists separate from other people. Independent self-concept encompasses the behaviour traits, preferences, and attitudes of an individual. The second perception is the interdependent self-concept, where a person is affiliated or feels connected to others.
Similarly, interdependence instills the idea that people are not alone in their attempts at mental growth and development. People also provided support for one another to grow socially. Interdependent self-concept also promotes responsibility-sharing by encouraging individuals to take various roles, which contribute to the development and growth of society. Interdependent self-concept is also crucial for overcoming fear. Unlike independence, which puts an individual against the rest of the other members of the society, interdependence promotes unity among society members, thus helping individuals to experience lower levels of fear and insecurity. In independent self-concept, people often emerge as overly self-reliant, which jeopardizes the chances of forming positive bonds among individuals.
Moreover, interdependence emphasizes how people relate with each other and get on well with existing norms of the society, which dictate how people relate. Intrinsic attributes of individuals play no major role in the way individuals think, feel or act. However, Jen also argues that "we need both the interdependent and the independent self," appealing that people from either side of self-concepts accommodates and understands each other.
