In an empirical demonstration of self-other agreement in a family context, we investigated self-reports of global life satisfaction vis-a-vis father - and mother-judgments in a sample of N= 68 student-mother-father triads using Diener et al’s (1985) Satisfaction With Life Scale validated using Sycip et al. (2000) measure of Filipino well -being. Results showed moderate convergence for self vs mother-reports, with a general overestimation bias for both fathers and mothers. Multiple regression analysis suggested that mother-reports, compared to father -reports, appeared to be better predictors of adolescent children's self-reported levels of life satisfaction, Students with mothers and fat hers who made less discrepant judgments also tended to have higher self-reported life satisfaction. Results are discussed using the Realistic Accuracy Model (RAM) of personality judgment (Funder, 1995) as well as findings in family psychology.","PeriodicalId":90678,"journal":{"name":"Philippine journal of psychology","volume":"39 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70067468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It uses numbers as symbolic portrayals of figure representations in psychological space, and then explores whether a computation of similarity among these representations reasonably reflects the structures in mental life. Participants were 66 adolescents. Q correlation was used to measure structural similarities among significant others and acquaintances. This was compared to participants' rank-ordering of acquaintances according to perceived similarity with a significant other. Using idiographic-nomothetic methods, it was found that there was a fair convergence of the structural measure with participants' perception. Analysis of participants' essays further showed that the structural measure was meaningful to a subject when congruence was high between the Q and participants' perception.

This study compared work attitudes of professionals in family and non-family run businesses. Analysis of survey data collected from 206 participants revealed that professionals in family-run businesses were more empowered, satisfied with their jobs and careers and committed to their organizations compared to employees in non-family businesses even when age, job level, organizational tenure, and firm size are controlled. We suggest that family businesses may have cultures that resonate with values of Filipino workers.
