Abstract/Summary
The study investigated whether there are stereotypes that have been experienced by Chinese of the Generation and X and Y who grew up in the Philippines and whether there are generational differences on the stereotypes, focusing on work ethics and social relations. The study investigated whether these stereotypes have any perceived effects on the self-concept, focusing on the dimensions of the self-image and ideal-self of Charles Horton Cooleys Looking-glass self theory. Based on the data gathered from the interviews from four (4) participants included in the Generation X and five (5) participants included in the Generation Y, there are still stereotyping that occur on both Generation X and Generation Y and both of the generation experienced the same stereotypes. Generation X experienced more stereotyping compared to generation Y. A second interview was conducted focusing on the participants self-concept. Before the interview, the participants answered Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) to validate the results from the self-concept interview. Generation X and Generation Y stated the same perceived effects on their self-image. In terms of the ideal-self, both generations mentioned personal development and being financially successful. The results of their TSCS scale were consistent to the interview, however, all of the participants mentioned that their family, traditions, and up bringing are more significant in terms of how they perceive their own characteristics.
