Answer to Question 1
Answer: If Mary had an independent view of herself, she might say that she found her true love, that she is an adult, or that she is becoming who she has always dreamed of being. These explanations emphasize Mary as a person, separate from others. It also emphasizes her uniqueness or her own personal growth. If Mary had an interdependent view of herself, she might explain that she is becoming part of a new family, that she is fulfilling her family's wishes, or that she is doing what society expects of her. These explanations stress the importance of others in her decision to get married.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: A self-perception theorist would first note that self-perception processes operate when we are initially unsure of our initial feelings or attitudes. When we are unsure about how we really feel, we will look to the environment and to our own behaviors to decide. For example, we may reflect on our behaviors the last time we were around our roommate. Did we laugh? Did we do any favors for her? Did we compliment her? We would also look to the situation to determine whether situational factors (e.g., rewards) might have influenced our behaviors. If so, we might decide that it was the situation and not our true feelings that influenced our behavior.
