What is the American Psyche?

null.and.void.

Can someone give me a brief explanation, please? I've tried to look it up but I can only seem to find university essays and lectures. It's for the context of a book I'm studying for English Literature ('All My Sons', to be specific).

Thanks in advance.

It's basically the term that describes what it means to be American and how is this represented through the psyche of American authors/characters.

So things like the American Dream, Freedom of Free Speech, North v. South. Etc. So it's all about what it means to be American in the mind of these characters.
