Question 5

When assessing the health needs of Filipino young adults and adolescents,the health-care provider should recognize that
1) True feelings are not divulged for fear of hurting the feelings of the receiver of the communication.
2) Communication in this generation is more intragenerational than intergenerational when it comes to thoughts and feelings.
3) This generation assimilates slowly,owing to their overprotective family structure.
4) This group shares intimate thoughts and feelings only with close family members.

Accepted Answer

According to studies, communication among Filipino young adults and adolescents is more intragenerational, meaning they tend to express their thoughts and feelings more to their peers rather than to older generations. This is often attributed to cultural norms and values that prioritize respect for elders and authority figures, which can create a barrier in open communication between generations.
