The Science of Happiness - An Experiment in Gratitude, ikaw masaya ka ba?

Wow it seems watching this relieved me of my migraine. Going to the you tube site and reading through the comments is insightful - how did the experiment measure happiness, etc, etc.

But whatever the measure was, for many more than a million who watched and could relate and resonate to the emotion and sentiments of the subjects I think the measure is not that important. They vicariously felt happy and experiencing such happiness is great and wonderful.

So whom have you made happy lately, whom have you told good things, whom have you made feel they are important in your life?

Perhaps for readers of this blog they are happy and have now time to watch this video after knowing that the Licensure Exam for Psychometrician is now postponed for  October 2014. So more time to prepare and keep always the happiness... and be grateful to life and everyone else important in your life.

After noting the need for indigenous scale construction efforts in the Philippines, the current article focuses on the development and current status of two multidimensional measures of Filipino personality constructs, plus two projects that are investigating indigenous Filipino personality structure. In a final section, we note apparent convergences between the personality dimensions identified and assessed by these four projects and consider how these dimensions might relate to purported universal dimensions of personality (i.e., the "Big Five" dimensions).Reviews of the status of psychological measurement in the Philippines have highlighted two related problems: the questionable applicability of foreign-made tests and the dearth of locally developed tests (e.g., Bulatao & Guthrie, 1968; Carlota & Lazo, 1987; Church, 1987; Guanzon, 1985; Ramos,1977). Strong misgivings have been expressed about the relevance to Filipino behavior of the theories underlying foreign-made tests, and researchers and scientist-practitioners have been urged to develop indigenous tests. The restiveness of the Philippine academic community over the need for more culturally sensitive theorizing was reflected in the Sikolohiyang Pilipino (FilipinoPsychology) movement that began in the 1970s. Enriquez (1994) described Sikolohiyang Pilipino as rooted in its Malayo-Polynesian and Asian heritage, a psychology based on the experience, ideas,and orientation of the Filipino, with psychology defined on the basis of categories drawn from the Filipino language and culture. Local test development was thus welcomed as a cross-cultural indigenization effort in which culture is treated as source rather than target (Enriquez, 1979).Discussions of indigenous psychological concepts and research methods that have emerged as a result of the Sikolohiyang Pilipino movement can be found in a number of sources (e.g., Aganon &David, 1985; Enriquez, 1992; Pe-Pua, 1982).In a recent effort to document and organize existing work on psychological test development in the Philippines, both published and unpublished, Ortega and Guanzon-Lapena (1997) observed an upsurge in academic interest in the development of indigenous psychological measures. Whereas in the 1950s a mere handful of tests in educational psychology were locally developed, Ortega andGuanzon-Lapena's (1997) current listing includes more than 200 locally developed measures on a wide variety of Filipino characteristics, for example, katalinuhan (intelligence), pagkarelihiyoso(religiousness), kaasalang sekswal (sexual behavior), kakayahang magdala ng tensyon (ability tocope with stress), pagkamabahala (anxiety), kahustuhang emosyonal (emotional maturity),pakikipag-ugnayan (adjustment-maladjustment), Filipino management style, and gender sensitivity,to name a few.This article focuses on the development and current status of two multidimensional measures of Filipino personality constructs--the Panukat ng Pagkataong Pilipino (PPP; Carlota, 1985) and thePanukat ng Ugali at Pagkatao (PUP; Enriquez & Guanzon-Lapenia, 1997)--plus two projects that areinvestigating indigenous Filipino personality structure (Church, Reyes, Katigbak, & Grimm, 1997;Katigbak, Church, & Akamine, 1996). In a final section, we summarize hypothesized convergencesbetween the personality dimensions identified and assessed by the different approaches...

The BS Psychology also provides preparation for further studies in
medicine.

Specific professions/careers/occupations or trades that graduates of

On November 11, 1962, a small group of psychologists gathered at Selecta Restaurant along C.M. Recto Avenue for what would later be considered one of the most defining moments in Philippine Psychology. They came from different institutions, drawn to that single place by a common purpose. From the University of the Philippines (UP) came the Chairperson of the country's first Department of Psychology, Dr. Agustin Alonzo, Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J. founder of the Department of Psychology and the Central Guidance Bureau of the Ateneo de Manila University, was also present. With them were Dr. Sinforoso Padilla, who established the Psychological Clinic at UP, and Dr. Jesus Perpinan, who founded the Psychological Clinic at Far Eastern University. Dr. Mariano Obias was also present at that historic meeting presided over by Dr. Alfredo Lagmay of UP, which saw the birth of the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP).

Five decades hence, what started as a handful, now number thousands. Today, the PAP is the premier association of psychologists in the Philippines.
