However, it is likely that this may only hold true in cultures that promote
independent and autonomous expression of self. For those in collectivist contexts,
it is argued that power could reduce happiness since power can thwart them
from achieving relationship harmony. The current paper presents research on the
psychological effects of power on happiness carried out in the Western context and
the Philippine context. Future directions towards developing a culturally-sensitive
theory of power are also elucidated.
subjective well-being among Filipino adolescents. Two hundred and ten (210) Filipino college
students were recruited as respondents for the empirical inquiry. Results indicated that gratitude
served as themost robust determinant of well-being after controlling demographic characteristics
and forgiveness dimensions. Most importantly, gratitude and forgiveness of self, which is a
dimension of forgiveness, predicted subjective well-being beyond the influence of the Big Five
personality factors. These findings strengthened the empirical evidence that moral traits would
have unique contributions on subjective well-being, even after controlling the impact of Big Five
personality factors. Implications of the results are discussed in the context of counseling.
