== In collectivistic cultures == Research indicates that individuation is culturally mediated: in collectivist societies, expressions of individuation "take the lead" or "seek attention" rather than follow a singular independent pattern. Concepts like "integrative individuation" emphasize maintaining relational bonds rather than complete separation. Collectivist norms tend to discourage standing out, meaning individuation is often constrained or reshaped according to cultural values.
