The ways that different cultures conceptualize the self affect the perceptions that people with these cultural heritages have of various types of human relationships and of counseling, Eastern and Western cultures are quite different in the ways that they conceptualize the nature of the self. It was the purpose of this study to assess the ways that counseling students in Taiwan and in the United States viewed the self. It was determined by utilizing a semantic differential technique that the students from the United States rated the evaluative and potency scales of My Real Self higher than the students from Taiwan. On the other hand, the ways that the students from Taiwan rated the concept of Love predicted how they rated all of the self scales used in this research which was not the case for the Americans.
