5. History of Filipino Psychology in the Philippines
• In the 1960s, many Filipino intellectual and scholars were already
sensitive both to the inadequacy as well as the unfairness of the
Western-oriented approaches to psychology.
• In the area to personality, the Western approach in research of not
being enmeshed and bound by the culture being studied has resulted in
a characterization of the Filipino from the ‘‘judgemental and
impressionistic point of view of the colonizer’’ (Enriquez, 1992, p. 57).
