Abstract
Contributing to the emerging literature beyond East (China, Japan, Korea) and West (North America), we explored the psychological diversity in Southeast Asia. Initial evidence revealed dual features of self in Indonesia–self-effacing Balinese (N = 239) and self-assertive Javanese (N = 251)–tied to their distinct ecology and history.
