Final answer:
Differentiation of self is a concept that involves both individual (intrapersonal) and interpersonal aspects as it pertains to how a person separates thoughts and feelings internally, and manages relationships with others. The option (B) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cornerstone of Bowen's theory, differentiation of self, is both an individual and an interpersonal concept. Differentiation of self refers to an individual's ability to separate feelings and thoughts. Individuals with high levels of differentiation have less of a herd mentality and are less susceptible to groupthink. They can maintain their own beliefs and values, even under pressure from others.
Thus, differentiation of self involves both an intrapersonal process — the way a person internally manages thoughts and feelings — as well as an interpersonal process that unfolds in relationships with others within a familial and social context. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
