Abstract
The purpose of this study is to show whether people’s tendencies towards individualistic and/or collectivistic values have any significant impact on the way these people would resolve psychosocial conflicts. The part of culture that highlights the tendency of human nature to imbibe individualistic and/or collectivistic tendencies will further shed light on how psychosocial conflicts are viewed and handled. Collectivistic values emphasise on the distinction between in-groups and out-groups, focus on what people have in common and engage in cooperative tasks. Individualistic values, on the other hand characterises a distinct individual, emphasising on competitive tasks.
