Social Psychology in the Philippine Context

by Ma. Elizabeth J. Macapagal, Mira Alexis P. Ofreneo, Cristina J. Montiel

Students deserve far better than to be only taught traditional social psychology. Those living in non-Western societies have rich histories and distinct normative systems, with their own indigenous social issues and patterns of social life. They have their own distinct needs from social psychology. This volume presents a serious effort to develop social psychology that is "appropriate" for Philippine society, something called for but neglected over many decades.

Basic simplification of the Philippines as a collectivist culture that ignores its Americanization and colonialism. Often glosses over non romantic Filipino ways of life. Some good studies quotes. Section on family strongest.
