Abstract :

This research explores how societal values connect to student identity centrality and friendship ties, which are the key factors in shaping students' educational and interpersonal development. However, prior research was limited to 173 Grade 7 students from a public school in Malolos, Bulacan, and was restricted from examining various kinds of societal values. By expanding the research framework, the study may provide valuable insights that inform educational policies and enhance student development strategies. The data in this research were gathered using a quantitative approach by giving the respondents structured questionnaires. The correlation analysis of societal values on student identity centrality and friendship ties revealed that societal values play a big role in molding the students' sense of identity and reinforce that cultural and social norms influence individual self-perception and behavior within an academic setting. In addition, the fundamental societal values become important elements for forming and deepening valuable friendships. The study findings demonstrate that students firmly support societal values that they display through their everyday actions in their environment. Keywords: societal value, student identity centrality, friendship ties
