Collectivist Cultures

Influence On Behavior. People of the collectivist cultures have an interdependent view of themselves,they let the relationships they have with others define them and their characters are likely to change across different situations .They see themselves as connected to others.

 People are interdependent.Planned marriages take place in a collectivist culture where parents plan the marriage of their children even if they are not in love.Other people's needs are prioritized more than ones needs.Family and the community are very important to people involved in collectivist cultures.People in this culture are self-sacrificing and they are encouraged to be loyal.

  WHAT ARE COLLECTIVIST CULTURES? As the word says 'collectivist' , these cultures give a group priority over each individual in it.The needs and goals of the group are affirmed more than those of each individual.In collectivist cultures,affiliation and relationships with other group members emulate the main role in one's identity.Portugal,Turkey  and Mexico are one of the countries that serve as examples of collectivist societies.
