Kapwa: A Core Concept in Filipino Social Psychology

Enriquez recognize the centrality of Kapwa to the study of social interactions among Filipinos Pakikipagkapwa o Pakikipagkapwa-tao The concept of Kapwa is inextricably linked with the Sikolohiyang Pilipinos cultivation of method of data collection that are meaningful in the Philippine context makaPilipinong pamamaraan ng pananaliksik which involves pakapa-kapa, pagtatanong-tanong, and pakikipagkwentuhan

Enriquez examination of the concept of Kapwa is based on Santiagos earlier study Ibang tao at hindi ibang tao

Eight categories of pagtutunguhan: 1. Pakikitungo 2. Pakikisalamuha 3. Pakikilahok 4. Pakikibagay 5. Pakikisama 6. Pakikipagpalagayang loob 7. Pakikiisa 8. Pakikisangkot

Santiago and Enriquez assumed that the level of Pagtutunguhan between the researcher and the participant is also a indication of the level or death of the information that maybe gathered. That is why the authors suggest that the Pagtutunguhan be brought to the level of Pakikipagpalagayang-loob For Enriquez the conceptual richness of the Pagtutunguhan between the researcher and the participant, which has different kinds and levels of categories of Pag-uugnayan that maybe applied, only mirrors the richness and value of Pakikipagugnayan or social interaction in Philippine society.

In Enriquezs Concepcion: Pakikitungo is considered obedience to the percepts of mabuting asal Pakikiisa is seen as the act, will, and speech of a person that intimate a complete and absolute love and understanding

Similarly, every method of data gathering used in the research is an indications of Pakikipagkapwa of the researcher with the participants. This implies that the conduct of genuine Filipino research need to be sensitive to the sense of Pakikipagkapwa Pakikipagkapwa is the guiding spirit of truly Filipino research

Kapwa and Pakikipagkapwa as Social Signification

Kapwa: both and fellow being for Enriquez: self and others Pakikipagkapwa is the embodying spirit that encompasses various kinds or categories of Pagtutunguhan in society

Enriquezs view of Pakikipagkapwa as an overarching primary value maybe seen in the supposition that is still possible for Filipinos to understand a person without Pakikisama or Walang hiya or Walang utang na Loob The collective orientation of Philippine Culture in which there is high valuation of Pakikipag-ugnayan, Pakikitungo at Pakikipagkapwa maybe implied in the preceeding discussion.
