To Pressure or Not to Pressure: Analyzing Behaviors and Attitudes of Filipino Young Adults using the Myers-Briggs Personality Typologies

For most people, interaction with others happens on a daily basis and in various social institutions (i.e., home, school, workplace, government, market, church). The nature of such interaction could either be personal (e.g., family members, life partners, and close friends), conventional (e.g., neighbors and colleagues), or formal (e.g., boss, supervisor/manager, doctor, police, and clients). Moreover, these interactions either create, strengthen, or weaken relationships as a result of either familiarity, trust, or indifference. These exchanges also require a person’s conformity to certain acceptable social and cultural norms which include courtesy and politeness. However, such conformity relies on one’s decision to do so or not. In some situations though, one does not have any other choice but to conform.
