MELC:
Compare one’s perception of
himself/herself and how others see him/her.
EsP-PD11/12SR-IIc-10.2
FIRST QUADRANT:
Write inside the bar graph the names of
the most and least influential individuals in
your lifetime. On the longer bar, write the
names of the most influential person and on
the shorter bar, write the names of the least
influential person in your life. Use the first
quadrant of your paper (as illustrated on the
next page) to present your data.
SECOND QUADRANT:
Write constructive positive and negative comments
for improvement process about yourself that you
received from other people using the pie graph below.
Use the second quadrant of your paper to present your
data.
Process Questions:
1. Why is feedback important in improving one’s
strengths and weaknesses?
2. How do you compare your self-perception to
others’ perception about you?
In the first activity, you were able to identify the
influential persons in your life. While in the second
activity, you were able to reflect on the information you
received from others as well as how you think of
yourself. This psychological process is referred to as
perception.
Perception occurs through knowing, interpreting,
and learning information that influences your behavior.
The way you perceive others as well as how others
perceive you are driven by beliefs, values, and norms
learned and shared through interactions within your
family members, friends, neighbors, and other
individuals in the society. These experiences help you to
improve how you perceive yourself and others in any
situation.
Social influence is characterized by a change in
your behavior caused by the people that empower you to
adjust to a particular situation. Whether someone agrees
or disagrees with you, it influences your behavior that may
help or hinder your social roles. Social influence also
happens when you change your behavior to adapt to
social demands. Social influence is categorized by
conformity, compliance, and obedience.
Types of Social
Influence
Conformity is changing your behavior to be the
same with the others in the group (Asch 1955 in Ramirez
2020). For example, when you visit your friend’s home,
to show respect, you both ask for the grandmother’s
blessing because you were told that it is courtesy. This
situation engages you to deal with it by adapting to the
shared norms and values to gain social approval rather
than rejection. You were able to conform to the group
standards.
Compliance is granting a request or demand asked
by another individual in exchange of either a reward or a
punishment. For example, during examination day, you
are required to take the test to finish the grading period
and failure to do so may result in a failing grade.
Obedience means changing your behavior to follow
the demand given by an authority or an adult you have
high regards with. For instance, as a maturing
adolescent, you want to contribute to development
through inviting other friends to exercise proper waste
disposal. Whether you do it purposely as you try to give
the leader your respect or purposefully as it empowers
you to participate actively as a follower. Whatever your
reason is for obeying; it leads to social facilitation.
The change in your behavior therefore enhances
your role in becoming a follower and a leader. Both
these roles involve responsibility to serve others that
can be achieved through cooperation. Hence, a change
in mindset is being mindful and sensitive to your
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
THIRD QUADRANT:
Shade all boxes that contains a statement reflecting
your behavior. Answer the Myself column based on how
you perceive yourself, while in the Others column, based
on how others see you (you may ask someone from your
family which of the following statements apply to you).
Use the first quadrant of your paper to present your bar
graph.
Process Questions:
1. Based on the data, is there any comparison
that you want to give an emphasis on?
2. How can you categorize yourself? Are you a
conformist, compliant or obedient? Explain your
answer.
FOURTH QUADRANT:
In this activity, use the information you gathered form
What’s New: SelfFeedback and Others Feedback, on page
7. Then, write the comments into Helpful and Hurtful
categories in the Venn Diagram below. For the comments
you received that can be both helpful and hurtful, and which
have influenced you to change, write them in the area where
the two circles overlap. Use the fourth quadrant of your
paper to present your diagram.
Process Questions:
1. What are the similar comments that you agree
and disagree with?
2. How does this feedback influence your
relationships with others?
Now, you have your Infographics. In just one look,
you can compare how you perceive yourself and how
others see you. To complete it, you are encouraged to
write your tagline based on your learning experiences in
this module at the center of the paper.
