INTRODUCTION:
In this module, we will expand the relationship of
adolescents to a wider group of people, such as schoolmates,
school authorities, neighbors, community acquaintances,
fellow members of social organization and etc.

Social relationships tend to be less intimate, with lesser

self-disclosure involved, but still may be exclusive, and may
demand certain levels of loyalty and to a lesser extent, loosely
knitted social clubs.

OBJECTIVES:
a. Distinguish the various roles of different individuals in society
and how they can influence people through their
leadership or fellowship.
b. Compare one’s perception of himself/ herself and see how
others see him/ her.
c. Conduct a mini survey on Filipino relationships (family,
school, and community).

Social Relationship - is a broad definition of

how we interact and behave with other people, and how they
interact and behave with us. In social relationships, we learn to
cooperate with others in achieving a common objective. What
differentiate personal relationship with social relationship is the
degree of intimacy and vulnerability we offer to other people. The
more intimate and vulnerable we are with another, the more
personal our relationship is with this person.

Social Influeneces - are the things that change

people’s behavior, belief and attitude as a result of an action of

another person or group.

VARIETIES OF SOCIAL INFLUENCES

• COMPLIANCE –is when a person seems to agree and follows
what is requested or required of him or her to do or believe
in, but does not necessarily have to really believe or agree
to it.

• IDENTIFICATION – is when a person is influenced by

someone he or she likes or looks up to, like a movie star, a
social celebrity, or a superhero.

• INTERNALIZATION- is when a person is able to own a certain

belief or act, and is willing to make it own publicly and
privately.

• CONFORMITY – is a type of influence that involves a change

in behavior, belief or thinking to be like others to obtain their
friendship and acceptance.

4|P age
 • CONVERSION – occurs when an individual wholeheartedly
changes his/her original thinking and beliefs, actions and
attitudes to align with and accept those of the other
members of a group.

• MINORITY – is an influence that happens when a bigger

number of people are influenced by a much smaller
number of people to accept the minority’s way of looking
at and doing things.

• REACTANCE- is a reverse reaction to some social influence

that is being imposed by a person or a group on another to
accept a certain belief, behavior, or attitude.

• OBEDIENCE- is another form of social influence that involves

someone in a position of authority.

others to change their beliefs, actions, or attitudes, by

LEADERSHIP THEORIES / TYPES OF LEADERSHIP

a. TRAIT THEORY- This theory states that there are certain
personality traits inherent in and suited for all leaders such
as decieveness, persistence, high level of self-confidence
and assertiveness, among others.

b. BEHAVIORAL THEORY- This theory presupposes that is a

learned behavior, and that leaders are defined according
to certain types of behavior they exhibit.

c. PARTICIPATIVE THEORY- This theory is the opposite of an

autocratic leader; a participative leader involves other
people in making common decision.

d. SITUATIONAL THEORY- This theory assumes that there is no

one style of leadership and that leadership behavior is
based on the factors present in a situation, and usually
takes into consideration how followers behave.

e. TRANSACTIONAL THEORY- This theory states that leadership

involves a transaction or negotiation or resources or
positions, as usually employs reward and punishment.

6|P age
 f. TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY – This theory involves a vision
in which a leader uses to rally support from followers, and
the role of the leader is in motivating others to support the
vision and make it happen.

g. LEADER – MEMBER EXCHANGE- This theory states that

leaders’ effectiveness is measured by the quality of their
relationship with their followers, and that different types of
relationship can evolve between leader and follower in a
certain work situation.

h. AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP- This leadership has three (3)

characteristics or axioms:
• Leadership is situational.
• Leadership is non-hierarchical.
• Leadership is relational.
CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF AN AUTHENTIC LEADER
• They walk their talk. They are consistent in what they
say and what they do, practicing what they are
preaching.

• They adjust to situations and displays adaptability

and flexibility but are consistent with their values and
real selves even when they take on different roles
during different situations.

• They have high level of comfort being themselves,

even if they come from backgrounds that are
different from the people or situations they deal with.

principles that are integrated with one another and
synergistically interacting to reinforce each principle.
