Abstract
This chapter reviews the major cultural constructs of individualism/collectivism, independent/interdependent self‐construal, and analytic‐holistic thinking, and the cognitive processes and behaviors associated with these distinct cultural categories. It also reviews the implications of these distinctions for processes and outcomes relevant to the consumer context such as preferences, judgments, decision making, purchase behavior, and the persuasiveness of advertising appeals.
