Question

Individualists will exit friendships and relationships for which of the following reasons?
1. They have become inconvenient.
2. They are not beneficial.
3. They lack emphasis on group goals.
4. They lack mutual satisfaction.

Answer 1

Correct answers: 1, 2 and 4.

Individualists evaluate relationships in terms of personal costs/benefits, convenience and satisfaction, so they leave when relationships become inconvenient, not beneficial, or lack mutual satisfaction. They are not likely to exit because a relationship lacks emphasis on group goals (that concern collectivists).
