Individualism was measured by offering students a choice between an individual and a group experience. It was assumed that a preponderance of favorable experiences of differentiation within the social field is associated with the development of individualism. Data from questionnaries and group rating scales indicated that family sibling patterns, spatial mobility, race, religion, age and preferences for joining “out” groups were significantly related to preferences for individual experiences. The findings in general support the hypotheses and suggest that individualism may be conceptualized in terms of differentiation within the social field
