Mutual Constitution is a key term from the Cultural Psychology. It describes the reciprocal way in which an individual is shaped by the surrounding culture and simultaneously shapes the culture with his or her behavior.

The two modes of mutual constitution are independent (focus on the uniqueness of the individual, being unique) and interdependent (focus on group or community, sense of connection and responsibility to larger group).
