“…For example, in a study of academic motives, we found a pattern of correlations between various academic motives and student grade point averages that was very similar for American and Filipino college students (Church & Katigbak, 1992). In contrast, we have found cross-cultural differences in the personality correlates of individualism-collectivism between U.S. and Philippine samples (Grimm, Church, Katigbak, & Reyes, 1999) and Watkins and Astilla (1980) failed to replicate in the Philippines correlations found in U.S. samples between first-year college grades and scores on the California Psychological Inventory.…”

“…China is commonly believed to be at the collectivism end of the individualism-collectivism continuum and the Chinese are often labeled collectivists. One of the personality traits usually not treated as a collectivist's dimensions is competitiveness (Grimm, Church, Katigbak, & Reyes, 1999). However, the Chinese students in this study tend to compete, rather than maintain a social harmony, with others.…”

This paper reports a study that investigates and compares the effects of foreign language proficiency, social status of a learner's family, self-esteem, and competitiveness on FL anxiety. Chinese university students (N = 146), who were learning Japanese and English, participated in this study. Social status data were collected once with the Social Status Scale. Other variables were measured twice over a two-month interval, using the Competitiveness Index, the Self-esteem Scale, the English/Japanese Classroom Anxiety Scale, and the English/Japanese Proficiency Scale. Results showed that foreign language proficiency, competitiveness, and self-esteem all significantly predicted foreign language anxiety levels. Foreign language proficiency was the best predictor, followed by self-esteem, then competitiveness. A negative relationship was revealed between these predictor variables and foreign language anxiety. Social status was not related to foreign language anxiety, either directly or indirectly.

“…Grimm, Church, Katigbak, and Reyes (1999) have shown that Filipinos have a very different world view than Americans. Filipinos tend to score much higher on Collectivism than Americans, and exhibit preferences for very different values and personal traits.…”

The Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS) has been developed to operationalize spirituality as an intrinsic source of motivation that impels individuals to create a broad sense of personal meaning for their lives. Spiritual Transcendence is nondenominational in nature and hypothesized to underlie the development of religious sentiments. To further support the universal nature of Spiritual Transcendence, the STS was translated into a native Filipino language, Tagalog. Using two different, varied samples of Filipino adults (N ¼ 654 and 248, respectively), this study demonstrated that scores on the translated version evidenced acceptable levels of internal consistency, structural validity, and incremental validity over personality in predicting a wide range of psychosocial outcomes, like well-being and interpersonal style. Further analyses also indicated that the Tagalog version of the STS produced comparable means and standard deviations to its English counterpart. The data provided support for the hypothesis that spirituality is a robust, universal human quality because two languages that are etymologically distinct both include terms that describe transcendent experiences. The STS appears to be an empirically robust measure of these qualities that can be useful for researchers interested in establishing cross-cultural linkages in spiritual motivation.
