Introduction

I. Background of the Study

As the years pass by, the new generation’s social structure starts growing
creating different kinds of perceptions to one’s academic abilities. For this reason,
this paper examines one’s emotional regulation that guides thoughts and behavioral
dispositions. Smart-shaming is also known as anti-intellectualism, this is an act of
hostility towards the pursuit of knowledge. The ideology surrounding it argues that
exercising the intellect is perceived by others to be something threatening.
Common characteristics of anti-intellectualists include disbelief in scientific and
logical facts, actively shaming intellectuals, and fear-mongering, among others.
First City Providential College offers relevant and multidisciplinary
academic programs to produce life-long learners who are globally competitive and
socially responsible professionals. Also, FCPC implements collaborative and
sustainable community. But in order, to be socially responsible, students must
know how to regulate one’s emotion. Off-hand remarks can pierce through the
recipient’s heart making one harbor doubts about his or her own capabilities.
Smart-shaming is a discrete social phenomenon. The scope of shaming
has become less predictable and can have a potential damage to one’s emotion and
feelings. For example, the shaming content can be accessed from anywhere in the
world especially in schools and can be shared on the internet. A study (Aquino,
2016) stated that Filipinos have the tendency to become demotivated to learn
English language due to fear of committing mistakes, lack of resources and
evaluated poorly by others. Hence, we emphasized the notion that these emotional
experiences are brought about by cognitive regulation of beliefs and attitudes.
