The Psych X is a set of webinars open to both members and non-members of Ateneo Psyche which showcases the interdisciplinary nature of psychology as a means to navigate psychology in the Filipino’s turbulent society and indicate its role in nation-building.
Last year, episode 1: Salitaan delved into the nature of psychology as a field that can be found in our everyday lives through the interchanging of perspectives. Speakers imparted their knowledge on psychology’s role in addressing the issues that the Philippines is currently facing, and how psychology can contribute toward our country's social transformation. Check out the livestream video of the event here.
The second episode of the series, Kalinangan, endeavored to accentuate psychology’s nature as a discipline that can serve as a median between a culture and its people. Through the extensive knowledge shared by the speakers, participants were able to appreciate the indigenization of Sikolohiyang Pilipino at a much higher level.

"Psych X: Salitaan was the first ever event I headed for Psyche and it really was close to my heart. In a very special way, I got to learn more about how Psyche works and even a little bit more about my course. I would like to thank my whole team for being so diligent and hardworking. We were pressed with time but I thought the outcome was more than what I expected! It was a very pleasant experience and I am proud of what my PMT and I accomplished!"
"Becoming the project head of Psych X: Kalinangan taught me the value of transparency and accountability. Being in charge of overseeing multiple committees is certainly no easy feat, but I realized that it’s the team behind the execution that makes everything worthwhile at the end. I’m grateful to have worked with people who also wanted to grow with me by trying out positions fairly new to them. Amidst the difficulties that arose from unforeseen circumstances, I appreciate that they still gave all of their best efforts. To those who helped in the success of Psych X: Kalinangan in their own way, thank you so much and here’s to more opportunities in the future!"
