  • A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism
    Harm in Harmony: A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism Shi Liu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Shi Liu All Rights Reserved Abstract Harm in Harmony: A Socioecological Perspective on East Asian Collectivism Shi Liu Decades of research have described East Asian cultures as collectivistic, often characterized by ingroup relationships that are harmonious and cooperative. I propose an alternative account of East Asian Collectivism—the Harm-in-Harmony Theory. Specifically, I propose that East Asian culture can be better understood as a tension between high levels of cooperation and competition within groups. The co-existence of cooperation and competition drives competition covert. To cope with covert competition, people in East Asia develop a heightened threat-detection system—ingroup vigilance—a cognitive tendency to perceive ingroup members as hostile and threatening. The Harm-in-Harmony theory provides an alternative account for a number of cross-cultural differences (i.e., East Asians being more responsive and attentive to others) that have previously been explained through harmonious interdependence. This work contributes to a more balanced view of collectivism, revealing its interpersonal tensions in the forms of covert competition and ingroup vigilance.

  • Toward an IP (Indigenous Psychology) Informed AP (Asian Psychology)
    Proposed Symposium Toward an IP (Indigenous Psychology) informed AP (Asian Psychology) Chair: Louise Sundararajan, Ph.D., Ed.D. Summary Eastern psychologies have two sub‐groups, IP (Indigenous Psychology) and AP (Asian Psychology) (Sundararajan, in press). The relationship between IP and AP ranges from allergic reactions to benign neglect. This symposium explores the possibilities of dialogue and integration between these two tributaries of psychology in the Far East. An international panel will examine the contributions of IP to AP through the following topics: An exemplary IP‐‐the Pondicherry Manifesto (Suneet Varma); Essentials of Indian Psychology as embodied in the “living text” of the Gita (Sangeetha Menon); How IP can protect AP from the undesirable consequences of globalization (Waseem Alladin); How IP can help AP to resist the flawed research paradigm of cross cultural psychology that puts Asians on the back of the creativity bus (Louise Sundararajan); How IP helps AP to find its own face in psychological research (Kwartarini Wahyu Yuniarti). Presenters Contact information: Suneet Varma, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi – 110092, India e‐mail: [email protected] Title: Indian Psychology: An emerging alternative Abstract: A group of 160 psychologists met at a conference in Pondicherry on October 1st, 2002 to introduce Indian Psychology (IP) as an academic subject of study in Indian universities and to bring about general awareness among psychology professionals in India as to why it is important that the psychology we do should use indigenous concepts and models. They issued the Pondicherry Manifesto (PM), which pleaded for judicious introduction of IP in Indian universities.

David Hemphill, Ed.D Professor of Education Ming-Yew Lee, Ed.D Professor of Education EVOLUTION OF DISCOURSE: IDENTIFYING SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO IN THE CLASSROOM Maica Dela Cruz Porcadas San Francisco, California 2019 This study examines the breadth and evolution of Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino Psychology) and identifies its place in educa onal settings. The study articulates Sikolohiyang Pilipino’s deviation from Western psychological discourse, which focuses on a clinical context, towards a broader scope that encompasses Filipino identity. By examining the curricula of various Filipino studies courses taught in California, and by comparing their content with the tenets of Sikolohiyang Pilipino, the study investigates the extent to which Sikolohiyang Pilipino is currently embedded in existing curricula and considers how its presence could be enhanced. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. David Hemphill, Ed.D Advisor Date' 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My warmest gratitude: To my parents, for the countless sacrifices you have made for us to be where we are today.
