Human behavior is a complex interplay of three components:
actions, cognition and emotions.
Actions are Behavior
An action denotes everything that can be observed, either
with bare eyes or measured by physiological sensors.
Cognition are Behavior
Cognition describe thoughts and mental images you carry
with you, and they can be both verbal and nonverbal.
Emotions are Behavior
Commonly, an emotion is any relatively brief conscious
experience characterized by intense mental activity, and a feeling that is not
characterized as resulting from either reasoning or knowledge.
Filipinos have been described as friendly, outgoing,
sensitive, easily offended, nosy, garrulous, direct, hospitable, feisty,
irreverent, good nature, clever, witty, gregarious, happy, generous, easy to
laugh, gracious, easy to befriend, casual, fun loving, sensitive and
hospitable. Personal and family honor are stressed, as well as dignity and
pride. Education is highly valued and families make great sacrifices to educate
their children. Hiya (shame) is instilled in Filipinos at an early age. To be
shamed is the greatest form of disgrace.
People living in urban areas are more exposed to
cosmopolitan values. They tend to be less traditional and more modern. Those
living in rural areas, on the other hand, still value tradition Even though
life appears to be a struggle, many people are happy with their lives.
Filipinos are sensitive to attacks on their own self-esteem
and cultivate sensitivity to the self-esteem of others as well. Anything that
might hurt another's self-esteem is to be avoided or else one risk terminating the
relationship. One who is insensitive to others is said to lack a sense of shame
and embarrassment, the principal sanction against improper behavior. This great
concern for self- esteem helps to maintain harmony in society and within one's
particular circle, but it also can give rise to clannishness and a willingness
to sacrifice personal integrity to remain in the good graces of the group.
Strong personal faith enables Filipinos to face great difficulties and
unpredictable risks in the assurance that "God will take care of
things." But, if allowed to deteriorate into fatalism, even this admirable
characteristic can hinder initiative and stand in the way of progress.
