Individualist-Collectivist Tendencies in a Turkish Sample

Abstract

In this research, we aimed to find out to what extent social behaviors related to individualism-collectivism are exhibited in the Turkish culture. The individualism-collectivism scale used in this research was developed by Hui and Triandis, and a total of 316 subjects were questioned. Main effects for behavior categories and target groups were significant. Post hoc significance tests were then conducted. There were significant differences between all target groups in their average IND-COL scores except between mother and siblings. In the social behavior categories, all categories were significantly different from each other in their IND-COL scores.
