The self-construal is an important subject of cross-cultural psychology. It is how to define the self from the relationships to individual with others. With different cultural backgrounds, that people form different self-construction:In western cultural background, the prevailing rule is to emphasize the individual's independence and encourage individual discovery and express the unique self, which advocated independent self-construal; In eastern context, the prevailing rule is to emphasize reliance with others, self-being as part of the social relations around individuals that advocacy is interdependent self-construal.The current study on individual self-construal focused on cross-cultural field, whereas little on the subjects in the same cultural background. It is not mature to research self-construal from a localization view at the domestic, and the individual characteristics of mongolia college students'self-construal are even fewer.With the further deepening and blending of cultural, it have had a great influence in people' idea, concepts, life style and other aspcets. At the present cultural values, Mongolia college students are the driving force of the multiracial social development, whose self-construal model, will affect the development of the multiracial's prosperous.In order to discover the characteristics of mongolia college students' self-construals, this paper translated and revised self-construal scale(SCS), based on the original self-construal scale(SCS); then, used the revised scale in college mongolia students for a more systematie survey of individual self-construals in domestic cultural blending background; other wise, culture priming experiment used to research the change of self construals in domestic mongolia college students. The research obtains the following conclusions:1.The revision mongolia's SCS has satisfying reliability and validity, and fits to the further study of mongolia college students'self-construal.2.In domestic cross cultural backgrounds, more independent than interdependent self-construal in mongolia college students', and independent self-construal is the leading type.3.Significant gender difference and regional difference are discovered in individual self-construals in domestic cross cultural background. Females interdependent self-construal are higher than male's(p<0.05). In the regional aspcet, pastoral growth mongolia college students independent self-construal are higher than city growth mongolia college students (p<0.05). Other aspcets have no significant difference(p>0.05).4.In culture priming conditions, compared to individualistic culture condition, mongolia college students'collcetivist culture starts more significant priming effect.
