The idea of a contextual personality is probably connected to collectivism, and vice-versa. The words “individualism” and “collectivism” bother me for reasons I have trouble pinning down. “Context-dependent personality” and “context-independent personality” do not bother me in the same way.

I will wager that is because individualism and collectivism are intended to be context-independent category words.
