Abstract/Summary

The researchers studied whether derogation has an effect on ones national identity, while controlling language, with the use of the Social Identity Approach. This suggests that the derogation of the out-group can lead to positive evaluations of the in-group and therefore the self. As a form of intervention, the researchers used 4 articles about the fight of Manny Pacquiao and Shane Moseley, which varied in terms of Language and Derogation, as well as 2 control articles. A total of 288 samples were used to conduct the research. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used as the primary method of statistical analysis. The results reveal that Language (p=0.46) and Derogation (P=0.69) had no significant main effects but had significant interaction (P=0.01). Post-hoc Tukey HSD concluded that derogation may not be always necessary and that the Filipino groups were confounded. Furthermore, mixed model ANOVA shows no significant results for interactions with test and the independent variables. The results were related to the explanation that there are other forms of increasing self-esteem such as social modeling and that the Filipino language may not be prevalent with sample.
