In the web lecture there was discussion about construals. There are two kinds:
Independent construal of self - "means that the person views her or himself as separate or unique from others. "
Interdependent construal of self - "means that the person seeks to bond or fit in with others. "
I fit in the independent construal of self category. I believe myself to be different from others. Yea, I admit I have my moments where I like to be like everyone else, but I'm not, so why bother trying to be something I am not. I guess, since I do have the tendency to be both independent and interdependent, that makes it a ambivalent--where can be both, but not a high "dose" of both.
