Abstract :
[en] The United States individualism construct is reflected in 3 factors called (a) Self-Reliance with Competition, (b) Low Concern for Ingroup, (c) Distance from Ingroup (triandis et al., 1988). This study explores the factorial structure of Triandis' items operationalized for Self-Reliance with Competition factor on a sample of Belgian-French speaking University students. A confirmatory factorial analysis on data from 407 subjects suggests that Self-Reliance is distinct from Competition though both factors are not independant. So, it seems that an important aspect of individualism has not necessarily the same meaning by Belgian French-speaking students as by individualists U. S. samples. This confirms that the individualism construct has to be more deeply probed in each country even belonging to close cultural areas.
