Statement of the PAP on the Misuse of Psychological Assessments in the Current Electoral Campaign The Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) considers some issues that arose in the current electoral campaign as a slight to psychology as a discipline and profession. In particular, media practitioners presented to the public a psychological assessment report which was written for a specific purpose, and is completely irrelevant to the present electoral campaign.
Statement of the PAP on the Misuse of Psychological Assessments in the Current Electoral Campaign (cont) Moreover, the media presented lacking and inaccurate statements about the nature of psychological functioning and the practice of psychological assessment. The media’s questionable intentions for doing so mar the efforts of Filipino psychologists in promoting the mental health profession and in furthering the public’s understanding of psychology and psychological well-being.
