Triandis discussed the
major distinction among
aspects of the self:
private, public, and
collective self
20
The Private Self
These are cognition that involve
traits, states, or behaviors of a
person. The private self is an
assesment of the self by the self.
21
The Public Self
These are cognitions concerning the
generalized others’ view of the self.
The public self is an assessment of
the self by the generalized others.
22
The Collective Self
These are cognitions concerning the
view of the self that is found in some
collective (e.g. family, coworker,
tribe, scientific, society). The
collective self corresponds to an
assessment of the self by a specific
reference of groups.
23
“ “These different kinds of selves are
heavily influenced by culture.
Culture specifies designs for living
that have been proven effective in the
past, ways of dealing with social
situations, and ways to think about
the self, and social behaviors that hae
been reinforced in the past”
