motivation based on independence and/or interdependence.
There is a certain part of us that consists of a unique set of attributes which enables us to stand apart and to separate ourselves from others in an environment. This part of us would like to exude these unique attributes and be independent.
At the same time, a part of us wants to be interconnected with and inter related to other in a social context. Experiencing interdependence, recognizing that ones behavior is determined by, contingent upon and to a large extent expressed by thoughts, emotions and actions of others in the social relationship. This part of us would pursue demands and expectations of the social group.
most of us examine and act out decisions based on these 2 factors. Maybe one is dominant more than the other sometimes while at other times we call for compromise on one and choose the other.
