Culture and self concept

Internship Report from the year 1999 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Psychology, grade: 1 (A), LMU Munich (Pedagogic Psychology und Empirical Psychology), language: English, abstract: My work is part of a cultural comparison study about the self and the self concept from young people at the age of 18 to 25 in Peru as well as in former East and West Germany. It is interesting to know the whole structure about the self concept where the single elements of knowledge refer to one another and not the single independent variables. To get an idea about this concept you need to work methodologically. We used qualitative structured interviews with basic questios like "How should the ideal person be" or "How do you describe responsibility."
