Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yolandi's tendency to make decisions on her own, look after her own needs, and see herself as a self-made woman indicate that she has an independent self-construal. This means that she values individualism and autonomy, and defines herself based on personal characteristics and achievements rather than social connections and relationships with others, which is characteristic of an interdependent self-construal. Intrinsic and extrinsic self-construals refer to the motivation behind one's behavior and actions, rather than how they define themselves.
