Study Notes

Values Learned from the Barkada

Valuing one's self and relationships with others are the most salient values learned from being part of a barkada (peer group).
Displaying trust and having resolve are additional values recognized as beneficial from being with a barkada.
Belonging to a peer group allows adolescents to realize the importance of being together, dispel loneliness, and develop self-worth.
Engaging with a peer group helps adolescents discover avenues for self-improvement and develop skills that enhance their potentials.

Pakikisama and Peer Group Norms

Pakikisama is a norm among adolescent peer groups, where members are expected to express the desire to participate in experiences and share in collective decisions.
Peer group norms are emergent properties of group interactions, internalized by peer group members, particularly newer members.
Interactions within a peer group contribute to a group identity that factors into an "extended self-concept".

Dynamics of the Peer Group

The significance of peer groups in human development is likely salient throughout the lifespan, with a greater influence on adolescents and their growth trajectories.
The Belongingness Hypothesis posits that humans have a drive to form and maintain lasting, positive, and significant interpersonal relationships, leading to the formation and joining of peer groups.
Peer group selection appears to be contingent on how esteemed one is by peers, guided by general peer approval.

Identity and Self-Concept

Social Identity Theory posits that a strong sense of group identification helps one develop greater self-concept and self-esteem.
Charles Cooley's Looking Glass Self hypothesis states that one's identity is borne from perceptions of how s/he is seen by other people.
