What develops in children as a result of a typical North American cultural concept of self

A)  an interdependent view of the self and defining themselves in terms of the groups they belong to 
B)  an interdependent view of the self and defining themselves in terms of personal attributes 
C)  an independent view of the self and defining themselves in terms of personal attributes 
D)  an independent view of the self and defining themselves in terms of the groups they belong to

The typical North American cultural concept of self emphasizes individualism, leading to an independent view of the self and defining oneself in terms of personal attributes rather than group membership. This individualistic cultural orientation is thought to promote a sense of self that prioritizes personal goals and achievements, in contrast to more collectivist cultures where group harmony and the needs of the community are emphasized. Therefore, option C - an independent view of the self and defining themselves in terms of personal attributes - is the best choice.
