TREND
In the Philippines, a new trend in
communication has emerged that
seems to have established a part in
the Filipino culture. This is called
anti-intellectualism or smart
shaming, a belief of mistrust or
lacking knowledge and
understanding of intellectual
pursuits. It is a mindset where
intellectual people are made fun of
because of their expression of
intelligence (Sison, 2015). 4

ISSUE
• “Edi wow!”,“Ikaw na ang matalino!” ,
“Wow, deep!” , “Nosebleed ako, ah!”
These are some of the lines that one
can usually hear when an intellectual
person and an average one is engaged
in an interpersonal conversation. Such
dialogues are manifestations of
mocking someone because of his
knowledge or intellectual edge with
the one he or she is talking with
(Pieraz, 2018). 6

Statement of the Problem
The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of anti-
intellectualism or smart shaming to the interpersonal skills of the grade
12 students. This study seeks to provide answers for the following
questions:
1. What is the level of awareness of students on smart shaming at their
school?
2. To what extent do the students smart-shame their classmates in
terms of:
2.1. frequency; and
2.2. words being used?

3. Does smart-shaming affect the interpersonal skills of the grade 12

students? 14

The study is centered on the analysis of the specific effects of anti-intellectualism or
smart shaming to the interpersonal skills of grade 12 STEM achievers. Other effects,
such as emotional, psychological, and physical aspects, if there are any, will not be
included and discussed in this research.
The period of study started from August to October because this is the range of
time when students are at the most active state of academic works, and the
probability of experiencing smart shaming is at its highest point. To set a more specific
span of time, the respondents will be asked to recall their experiences of being smart
shamed from grade 11 up to the present time only. This is to make the study easier
for the researchers to conduct as it is more concise and focused on a particular
timeline. It will also be of convenience to the researchers as they will be able to
obtain accurate input from the respondents and wield efficient results.
The respondents will be selected from the grade 12 STEM achievers of one of the
universities in Bulacan to analyze how anti-intellectualism affects their interpersonal
skills in specific ways. The said set of respondents were chosen because academic
achievers who are considered as a dominant part of the intellectual community are
more prone to smart shaming, rather than those who do not exhibit academic
