“…For example, a plethora of studies indicate that the extended, sociocentric experience of the self (and its ethic of care) is the most prevalent way of experiencing the self among people of color (Heelas & Locke, 1981;Landrine, 1992;Shweder & Bourne, 1982). Specifically, data suggest that the extended or sociocentric self characterizes the experiences of Asian American men and women (e.g., DeVos, 1985;Marsella, DeVos, & Hsu, 1985), Native American men and women (e.g., Strauss, 1977), Latino men and women (e.g., Gaines, 1982), and African American men and women in particular (Haraway, 1986;Nobles, 1976;Stack, 1986). Can these data be integrated into a feminist psychology that regards the sociocentric self and its morality as inherently "womanly" experiences that stem from women's unique, early interactions with mothers (e.g., Bordo, 1986Bordo, , 1990Chodorow, 1978;Flax, 1986Flax, , 1990Gilligan, 1977;Lykes, 1985)?…”
