個人主義和 GNP 的關係？

Triandis et al (1988) 寫到 “It is likely that Gross National Product (GNP) is both an antecedent and a consequent of individualism. Affluence implies the ability to "do one's own thing," but "doing one's own thing" implies more creativity for the society, hence more innovation and more economic development." "...but extreme individualism may be linked to several forms of social pathology, such as high crime, suicide, divorce, child abuse, emotional stress, and physical and mental illness rates." 所以適可而止才好。
