    Calantas, Ma. Emmalyn T.; Gasangarin, Jed Moirah G.; Ilinon, Wendel C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This study entitled “Char!”: The Language of Contemporary Adam, The Acceptability of Gay Lingo Among Senior Male Students in a Male Dominated University presents how the gay community is slowly being accepted in the society one step at a time. Chapter 1 presents the history of gays as they battle for societal discrimination and the current situation of the LGBT community in the country. Also, it discusses the aim of the study with the following objectives to seek for the critical areas on the behaviour of males towards gay language and to know how these males interpret the gay lingo and use it on a daily basis. The Review of Related Literature of the study involves the paradigm of sexuality in the Philippines which discusses the issue of gender roles and how people perceive homosexuals and homosexual relationships in the country. This chapter is also about the development of gay language which diverted from mockery and humiliation to it being openly used not only by homosexuals but also by straight men. Chapter 3 presents the subjects of the study who are the senior male students of JBLFMU, the research method used which is survey-based, the research design and data gathering procedures, research instruments, data analysis and the statistical tools used. The researchers measured the respondents’ exposure, knowledge, attitude, usage and practice of the language to determine their acceptability of gay lingo. Chapter 4 involves the results and discussions of the study. This chapter reveals that the respondents are highly exposed to the language. They also have a high level of knowledge, and positive attitude towards gay lingo. However, their usage and practice got the lowest percentage on the study. The final chapter includes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study which states that the gay lingo in a male-dominated university is accepted. The acceptance of gay culture and their language in a male-dominated community implies that men are consequently embracing the change that is happening in society nowadays. They are becoming more open about learning the culture of the once called minority group—the gay community.

    Aside from being the second most avid television consumers, Filipinos especially teenagers, have become increasingly immersed to watching romantic-themed teleseryes by the different emerging love teams such as JaDine and KathNiel. The evident fandom to these love teams lead to the conduct of the study to identify the effects of the scripted portrayal of a romantic love and relationship to the perceptions and the attitudes of teenagers on romantic love. Research design using qualitative and quantitative approach was utilized. George Gerbner's Cultivation Theory was used to answer how exposure affects the perceptions and the attitudes of teenagers on romantic love. The survey was conducted among 90 qualified respondents across (3) three public high schools in Miag-ao, Iloilo. The 5—point Likert scale was used to measure the influence of the two love teams' teleseyes in the perceptions and the attitudes of teenagers. Results show that high exposure on teleseryes affect teenagers' perceptions and attitudes on romantic love as portrayed by the love teams. However, it was also noted as per results, that not all that were shown in the teleseryes are being mirrored by teenagers as real since they also critic if those depictions of romantic love really happen in reality.

    Artuz, Shara Mae F.; Reyes, Rika Jane T.; Villa, Mae Anne F. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
    The study seeks to know the common level of consciousness of feminism in selected films among college students. It anchors on Muzafer Sherifs Social Judgment Theory that sets responses to stimuli along the latitudes of acceptance, non-commitment and rejection. Parallel to this theory, consciousness of feminism is measured as high level, which means the audiences accept and identify the concept of feminism being present in the films included in this study; medium level, which means the audiences find the concept of feminism objectionable in the films included in this study; and low level, which represents that audience does not accept and identify the concept of feminism being present in the films included in this study. The study employs a survey questionnaire given to 353 students of the University of the Philippines Visayas. Results show that over 73% of the respondents have high consciousness level. It is concluded in this study that majority of the students in UP Visayas are highly conscious of feminism in feminist-themed films; are conscious of the concept of feminism or can easily identify it in feminist-themed movies.

    Almonte, Darby April Gaye Q.; Tinsay, Shiela Mae B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    The study aims to describe the perceived body image of female college students. Specifically, it wants to find out the activities of female college students relative to their body image; their exposure to the mass media in terms of enhancing body image; and to find out the influence of mass media exposure to their perceived body image. The study was conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miag-ao, Iloilo. Sixty respondents were obtained from the population of Social Sciences students using the fishbowl method of simple random sampling. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale (Spainhour, 2000), together with a set of questions developed by the researchers, were used in gathering the data. Generally, the results showed that the female college students have a positive perception of their body image. Also, the female college students do not engage in any activity related to body image, such as dieting and exercising. Lastly, they are well exposed to the mass mediated messages about body image in the television and the magazine but they are not negatively influenced by those messages, that is, they neither compare their bodies with nor do they want to look like the models in television and magazine.
