The other and the significant other: The influence of the ibang-tao/hindi ibang tao distinction on self-serving bias

| Summary: | This study aimed to integrate the Western concept of self-serving bias, or the tendency to internalize success while externalizing failure, with the Filipino concept of pakikipagkapwa, particularly at the ibang-tao (others) and hindi ibang-tao (not others) levels. A between-subjects experimental design with 320 participants was utilized to determine if exhibited self-serving bias varies according to an individual's characterization of another as a stranger, ibang-tao or hindi ibang-tao (Low and High). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used as the primary method of statistical analysis. The results reveal that the levels of interaction had a significant effect (p<.001) on self-serving bias, but post-hoc Tukey HSD runs concluded that only the Stranger condition holds statistically significant differences from all the other groups. The results were related to the explanation that some aspects of the instruments used may not be fully appropriated to the concept of pakikipagkapwa, and that the Filipino levels of interaction should not be taken as clearly delineated stages but rather as guidelines in approximating the levels of interaction described in Western literature. |
