Theoretical Framework v02
Key Pathways Tested:
Culture & Self--> Goals: Goal Orientation is calculated as a weighted composite where Alignment between culture and self determines whether goals are internally or externally generated.
Culture→Self: Cultural values influence self-construal (make it more similar to the cultural context) over developmental time (tmacro=18).
3. Goals→Self: Feedback from goal pursuit reshapes self-construal, with the strength of influence being moderated by alignment between self-construal and subjective culture.
