Abstract/Summary

This study aims to find out the relationship between the level of self-esteem and the level of self-construal of Filipino college students. Also, the study wants to determine whether the behavior of an individual's level of self-construal varies across specific contexts. The researchers used a purposive sampling technique in choosing the participants for this study. The Singelis (1994) Self-Construal Scale and the Rosenberg (1965) Self-Esteem Scale were used to test the correlation between the two variables. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze the results of the two tests. On the other hand, an in-depth interview was conducted to gather information regarding the behavior of individuals within the interpersonal and work contexts. Data gathered from the interview were analyzed using content analysis. Results revealed that there is no significant relationship between the level of self-construal and self-esteem. It also showed that the behavior of the individuals vary across different contexts. Both the independent and interdependent type of self-construals of an individual can be seen in their interpersonal and work contexts but with varying degrees.
