Cultural psychology
The 4 I's cultural model was developed by Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner in their book "Clash! 8 Cultural Conflicts That Make Us Who We Are."

The culture cycle consists of four layers (Individuals, Interactions, Institutions, Ideas) of cultural influence that help to explain the interaction between self and culture.
