Individualism and Collectivism

This questionnaire asked adolescents to rate their endorsement of collectivism and individualism on a scale of 1 (Absolutely disagree) to 9 (Absolutely agree) (Li et al. 2010). Eight items assessed individualism (e.g., Winning is everything) and eight assessed collectivism (e.g., Family members should stick together, no matter what sacrifices are required), which resulted in a total of sixteen items for this questionnaire. The items were averaged to form separate scores on individualism and collectivism. Cronbach’s alphas ranged from 0.70 to 0.84 for individualism and 0.79 to 0.87 for collectivism.
