Abstract/Summary

Polyculturalism and multiculturalism are two proposed lay theories of culture that are associated with positive intergroup attitudes and behaviors. In a previous study conducted by Bernardo, Rosenthal, and Levy (2013), polyculturalism is found to be generally endorsed in the Philippines. In this study, correlation analyses were conducted to further describe the relationship between the lay theories of culture endorsed by 150 Filipino students enrolled in universities with a growing number of Indian international students, familiarity to Indian culture, and positive evaluation of Indians. The results of the study provide evidence for the significant relationships between the Filipino students' endorsement of polyculturalism and positive evaluations of Indian international students, Filipino students' endorsement of multiculturalism and positive evaluations of Indian international students, and Filipino students' familiarity to Indian culture and positive evaluations of Indian international students. However, it is important to note that the correlation between the variables is rather low.
