Answer:
The correct answer is ''there are consistent differences between and within cultures on these personality styles.''
Explanation:
Individualistic cultures are those in which individual needs and well-being are placed before those of the group or community; furthermore, independence and self-reliance are promoted. In an individualistic culture, decisions, achievements, goals, and desires are often defined as personal, not collective. People who come from cultures of this type consider social prestige, success, dominance, personal wealth as priorities; they are competitive, and more inclined to be creative and to seek new emotions. On the other hand, in collectivist cultures, people tend to define themselves more based on their ties within the group than on the personal characteristics they possess, and the sense of community is valued; there is concern for the well-being of others, concern for social justice, commitment to cultural traditions and customs.
