Key Pathways Tested:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
