| Summary: | The study aimed to construct self in relation with parents, classmates, professors,
and self as individual. This study used multi-method which involved qualitative
and quantitative method. The respondents of this study were 548 undergraduate
students. The data was collected by using personal interview and survey. The
result showed that self in relation with parents, classmates, and professors have
their own uniqueness and they have relation patterns. Self in relation with parents
has an intimate relation between individual and the parents. Therefore, the self
tends to attach on parents� self. Whereas, the self in relation with classmates
emphasizes exchange between the self and the classmates� self. In this relation,
the self considers the level of closeness that is represented by the quality of
friendship. In the other hand, self in relation with professors stresses on equity
and it has curtain movement to lead the self for identifying in what level of
closeness the self and the professors� self. Moreover, the self in relations with
professors brings the quality of the relation between self and professors� self. Self
as individual is described as an establishment between the interpersonal and
intrapersonal aspect in the self. In general, self among university students can be
inferred as dynamic-self that creates complexity and the self which leads
individual to be interdependence. Interdependence-self is considered as
collectivistic culture that the students have. This collective culture shows that
students adjust themselves into the position in hierarchy level. This hierarchy
level divides the type of collectivistic into vertical collectivistic and horizontal
collectivistic. Vertical collectivistic brings self to be subordinate and horizontal
collective brings self to equality with others.
