Abstract : This study examined the relationship between cultural collectivism, community participation, and prosocial orientation among Filipino adolescents, with particular focus on the mediating role of community participation. Using a descriptive–correlational research design, data were collected from 289 Filipino adolescents aged 10–19 residing in Laguna, Philippines through structured and validated self-report measures. Pearson product–moment correlation and regression-based mediation analysis with bootstrapping were employed to analyze the data.

Keywords : Cultural Collectivism, Adolescent Development, Community Participation, Prosocial Orientation, Filipino Youth.
