    Asong, Mariver A.; Bobe, Minnie Marie M.; Guadalquiver, Nanette L.; Jalover, Carol P.; Niembra, Lorlyn C.; Rasmo, Anna Vina Lisa L.; Salazar, Ma. Jonalyn U.; Tupas, Euridice L. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1995-03)
    This study is an attempt to re-validate the study framework of Dr. Jacobson Kliatchko, which he used in his dissertation entitled, Communication and Attitude Development: A Philosophical Perspective. The framework deals with the development of attitudes after exposure to value-bearing communication. Because this study does not deal with the cause and effect relationship, the variables are rather called as components. The components of such study framework are: environment, value-bearing communication, and attitude. In this study, the environment is Marillac Academy. The value-bearing communication is the module on good study habits. And the attitude is the study habits of the respondents. needed data. Purposive sampling was used to determine the respondents. The essays and interviews with the students and the questionnaires filled up by the parents were the instruments designed to elicit the needed data. The general objective of this study is to determine how adolescents respond to value-bearing communication. Results reveal that although most of the respondents did not follow their study schedule, all of them have allotted time for their studies as reflected by the filled up observation sheets accomplished by the parents. This suggests that there is favorable response on the part of the respondents towards value-bearing communication. The study framework of Dr. Kliatchko that was used in the study shows that there is indeed an attitude formed when a value-bearing communication is inputted to a certain environment.

    Abalayan, Chris C.; Bachoco, Anecita C.; Hosillos, Rojun V. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-04)
    The study in the effectivity of communication styles used by any individual in different situations has been a subject of many researches. This research would like to find out the relationship of communication styles employed by the College of Arts and Sciences faculty members to their ratings in the student-faculty evaluation. These further aims to know the type of communication styles most of the faculty members of the CAS used in their teachings. Also, the study hopes to determine the preferred communication styles of the students for their teachers and determine what communication style has the highest and/or lowest rating in each of the four criteria in the student-faculty evaluation. A Communication Style Inventory devised by Allan rowe, et. al, 1988 and the Student-Faculty Evaluation used by the whole UP system were the instruments used in the study. The study was conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences, first semester and second semester of Academic Year 1995-1996. Twenty-three faculty members of the Division of Humanities and Division of Social Sciences teaching General Education (G.E.) subjects and students who belongs to the class were randomly chosen as respondents. Findings showed that a consultative communication style dominates majority of the faculty members. However, using the Categorical Method (CATMOD) in solving the data, results of the study showed no significant relationship between communication styles used by the faculty members of the CAS to their ratings in the student-faculty evaluation.
