The Self-Construal of Senior High School Students in a State University in the Philippines

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 32, Issue 10

Abstract

This study explores the self-construal of senior high school students at Biliran Province State University, focusing on their levels of independence and interdependence. It investigates how demographic factors such as gender and academic strand shape these dimensions. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 200 students through stratified random sampling and analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. Results indicate that students exhibit stronger interdependence than independence, reflecting the collectivist culture of the Philippines. Gender significantly predicts interdependence, with females demonstrating greater relational tendencies, while academic strand influences independence, with STEM students showing higher individualistic traits. These findings underscore dual cultural influences on Filipino students and suggest that educators can design culturally responsive interventions to foster adaptability and resilience in diverse contexts.
