FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH METHODS
MGA PAMAMARAAN NG PANANALIKSIK
PSYCHOLOGY, DEFINED (ENRIQUEZ)
It takes into account the study of
emotions and experienced knowledge (kalooban and kamalayan),
awareness of one’s surroundings (ulirat),
information and understanding (isip),
habits and behavior (another meaning of diwa),
soul (kaluluwa) which is the way to learning about people’s conscience.
Filipino Psychology: principal emphasis in psychology is on identity and
national consciousness, social awareness and involvement, psychology of
language and culture, and applications and bases of Filipino psychology in
health practices, agriculture, art, mass media, religion, etc.
FOUR FILIATIONS OF PHILIPPINE
PSYCHOLOGY BY ZEUS SALAZAR
Sikolohiyang Akadamiko- Pilosopikal (Academic-philosophical
Psychology)
UST begins through education by individual monks and preachers: the
Jesuits:Thomistic Philosophy and Psychology. A continuing study of
psychology as an aspect of philosophy
Sikolohiyang Akadamiko-siyentipiko: Kanluraning Tradisyon
(Western Tradition Of Academic-scientific Psychology)
1876, birth of Scientific Psychology (German tradition)
Entry of Western Psychology in UP and other universities (American
tradition)
Sikolohiyang Etniko (Ethnic Psychology)
It is a major basis of Sikolohiyang Pilipino for integrating into a national tradition of
Psychology and Philosophy as universal disciplines.
Indigenous Psychology (katutubong sikolohiya)
It is common to the Filipinos who oftentimes are unaware of it: this frame of
psychological reason or theory can be called principally from language,
literature, etc (kinagisnang sikolohiya)
Psychologies or psychological systems worked out by Filipinos with indigenous
elements as basis. Mainly reactive, resulting from contact with other cultures
and from acculturative experience. (Hermano Pule, Rizal, Isabelo de los Reyes)
Psychology of Filipinos
Based mainly on Western System of thought: Chinese, Spaniards and other
foreigners
Expression of own ideas through Filipino language, literature (works of Rizal)
Practice of Psychology
Enculturation/Socialization as affected by Christianity or Islam
Ancient Techniques of group therapy ( tagapayo, manghuhula, use of dreams)
Sikomedikal Na Relihiyon Ang Ginagamit Bilang Elementong
Nag-uugnay At Nagpapaliwanag (Medico-religious Psychology)
It considered religion as the cohesive element and considered as the
core of native Filipino Psychology
It is manifested through
Faith healing
Espiritista
Herbolaryo
Other indigenous methods
Livelihood Psychology (Sikolohiyang pangkabuhayan)
A distinct and important line of filiation showing the roots and development of the
economic, livelihood, agricultural, business, management, and industrial psychology.
FILIPINO INTELLECTUAL TRADITION
Filipino philosophy of science incorporates the demands of empirical
validation from reliability and validity to affirmability and authenticity.
Levels of validity & scientific standards
katatagan (replicability, reliability)
katapatan (multiple operationism, validity)
patibay (certification)
patotoo (affirmability, attestability)
patunay (authenticity)

Pakikipagkapwa is accepting, dealing with the other person
as an equal.
FILIPINO INDIGENOUS CONCEPTS
Filipino concept of justice
Tagalog, Ilongos, Cebuanos, Pampangos use a common word for
justice, katarungan, derived from the Visayan root tarong means
straight, upright, appropriate, correct, and for right, we use karapatan,
whose root is dapat signifying fitting, appropriate, correct i.e. justice
is related to right

RESEARCH MODELS
Models of data collection
Self-orientation
Experimenter-orientation
Reactive-orientation
Mutual-orientation

cultural empowerment. Virgilo G. Enriquez (Ed.) 1994. Akademya ng
Sikolohiyang Pilipino. Quezon City.
RESEARCH MODELS
Models of data collection
Self-orientation Model:
the data collector and contributors relate to the other only
to the extent of waiting until the other stops responding,
e.g. laboratory-based studies of memory. Communication is
not taking place between them through socially shared
interpretations or common constructs.
RESEARCH MODELS
Models of data collection
Experimenter-orientation Model:
the data collectors appear to influence while only the data
contributors appear to be influenced, e.g. Asch’s person
perception study; an imbalance of power in favor of data
collectors who appear to define the experimental situation.
RESEARCH MODELS
Models of data collection
Reactive-orientation Model:
the participants in the data collection are reacting to what is
currently taking place between them, e.g. verbal
conditioning research; yet the capacities of both data
contributors and collectors to construe are assumed to be
unimportant and are ignored.
RESEARCH MODELS
Models of data collection
Mutual-orientation Model:
the data collector and contributor give something to, and
gain something from the data collection, e.g. Piaget’s early
research on conservation. Indigenous psychology research
uses this model as the cultural researcher is a culture bearer
himself.
RESEARCH MODELS
Researcher-Researchee Relationship Model
Scale of the Researcher
Iskala ng Mananaliksik
Scale of the Relationship or Interaction between the Researcher and the
Researchee
Iskala ng Pagtutunguhan ng Mananaliksik at Kalahok

SANTIAGO-ENRIQUEZ RESEARCH MODEL
Researcher-Researchee Relationship Model
Scale of the Researcher
Iskala ng Mananaliksik
These are methods used by the researcher in generating
data that are tried and tested and are culturally sensitive
and appropriate in doing research with Filipinos.
SANTIAGO-ENRIQUEZ RESEARCH MODEL
Researcher-Researchee Relationship Model
Scale of the Relationship or Interaction between the Researcher
and the Researchee
Iskala ng Pagtutunguhan ng Mananaliksik at Kalahok
The level of interaction between the researcher and the
researchee significantly determines the quality of data obtained.
SANTIAGO-ENRIQUEZ RESEARCH MODEL
Researcher-Researchee Relationship Model
Levels of Relationship
There are eight levels of interaction which range from the
relatively uninvolved civility of pakikitungo to the total sense
of identification in pakikiisa. These eight levels of
interaction can be divided into two categories: the ibang-tao
(outsider) and the hindi ibang-tao (one-of-us).
SANTIAGO-ENRIQUEZ RESEARCH MODEL
Researcher-Researchee Relationship Model
Levels of Relationship
Ibang-tao category (outsider)
pakikitungo (amenities, civility)

Pakapa-kapa
an approach characterized by groping, searching, probing into
an unsystematized mass of social and cultural data to be able to
obtain order, meaning, and directions for research.

SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Pakapa-kapa
implies an exploration into cultural, social or psychological
data without the chains of overriding theoretical framework
borrowed from observations outside the focus of
investigation.
can be related to unobtrusive techniques because the actual
procedures for collecting information may range from
observation, documentation, intervention, participation.

Pagtatanong-tanong Method
Pagtatanong-tanong, Filipino word for “asking questions,” the
repetition of ‘tanong’ to ‘tanong-tanong’ indicates seriousness of
purpose, one is truly determined to get answers to ones questions.

Pagtatanong-tanong Method
Major Characteristics
Participatory in nature
Equality of status
Appropriate and adaptive
Integrated with other indigenous methods
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Pagtatanong-tanong Method
Preparation: pagtatanong-tanong is part of everyday casual
interaction, researcher must plan very well for certain
conditions, consider convenience and comfort of
informants, their language, norms, values, and background
(history, within/between group differences, activities,
policies).
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Procedure of pagtatanong-tanong
1. Get to know the people, place, lifestyle
2. Greet informants, give credentials (name the go-between)
3. Go tell them the purpose of the study
4. Give an estimate of the expected length of the session
5. Guide questions are used when necessary
6. Goodbye and thank you is not abrupt
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The level of the relationship that exists between the researcher and
the informant significantly influences the quality of data obtained
(Santiago-Enriquez Model).
The language of the respondent is used in the conduct of
pagtatanong-tanong.
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The use of pakikiramdam as ‘feeling for another’ (cultural
sensitivity), through this the researcher knows when to ask or
avoid questions, interprets a ‘yes’ for a ‘no’.
The equality of status is maintained, as it is a dialogue
(informant is a kausap or person spoken with) not an interview.
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The issue of reliability: consistency of response can be
checked by repeating the question in a different way.
The problem of investigator bias and data contamination
can be solved by having more than one person do the
pagtatanong-tanong.
SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
Repeated sampling from as many informants as possible
can produce commonalities of lexical domain which can
then constitute a ‘construct.’
Familiarity with the language, values, cultural norms,
will optimize accuracy and relevance of interpretations.
