    Attributions on the development of homosexuality and factors that lead to non-disclosure of sexual orientation among male covert homosexuals
    Bansuelo, Florence S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)
    The study aims to know the attributions on the development of homosexuality by male covert homosexuals, their reasons for keeping their sexual orientation hidden, and whether there are common personality characteristics among them. The researcher used in-depth interviews and the test Panukat sa Ugali at Pagkatao of Enriquez et al. to measure respondents’ personality characteristics. The respondents of this study consist of ten male covert homosexuals. The findings showed that the major attributions on the development of homosexuality are; early childhood sexual experience with older males, friends were mostly girls during childhood and adolescence, “it just happened”, a feeling within themselves that they are attracted to males. According to the respondents, fear of parental and societal rejection are the dominant reasons of their covert homosexuality. The personality test results showed that they are; faithfill, responsible, unreasonably obstinate, and have initiative. These were not classified as the traditional female or male stereotypes. Their attributions on the development of homosexuality are more of the interaction of biological and learned factors. Fear of rejection leads them to hide their sexuality.

    The relationship between the attitude towards women and the evaluation of sexism in liquor advertisements on television
    Azarcon, Criselda Jeremias (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1993-06)
    This study is on the relationship between the individual's attitude towards women and his/her evaluation of sexism in Tanduay advertisements on television. Using two sets of questionnaires, the study also investigated the relationship between each of these two variables on one hand, and gender, age, and religious affiliation, on the other. Attitude towards women is defined as the level of feminist attitude of an individual. Evaluation of sexism is defined as the individual's rating of sexist manifestations in television liquor advertisements. Sexism is the sexual discrimination against women by people. It is any distinction, exclusion or restriction made against women which has the purpose or effect of denying equal exercise of human rights and fundamental freedom in all fields of human endeavor. A manifestation of this is the sexual degradation of women which is the focus of this study. It is manifested by associating women with sex, or showing women as sex figures, such as showing them as sex partners or in sex-provoking images. The respondents were freshmen dormitory residents at UPV Residence Halls, Miag-ao. An accidental sampling was used to identify the sample population of 30. Using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation the result showed that there is no relationship between attitude towards women and evaluation of sexism in Tanduay advertisement on television. Using the chi square test of independence, it was found that only five out of twenty-one items in the attitude towards women test showed significant differences in the answers of the female and male respondents, four out of twenty-one items showed significant differences in the answers of the religious groups, and one out of twenty-one items showed a significant difference in the answers of the three age groups. Thus, based on the results, attitude towards women does not affect the level of an individual's awareness on how women are sexually degraded in Tanduay advertisement on television.

    Experiences of LGBT individuals with Christian upbringing
    Baguyo, Alec Jonavie A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-06)
    Christianity is one of the religions worldwide that promote heteronormativity, following their belief that it is “normal.” In the Philippines, wherein Roman Catholicism is the main religion, heterosexuality is the norm, and people who do not follow this feel a sense of conflict in terms of their religious and spiritual identity and their LGBT identity. This study explored the experiences of LGBT individuals with a Christian upbringing in the Western Visayas. A qualitative approach was employed and six participants were selected for an in-depth interview, the collected data was then analyzed using a thematic analysis wherein four themes emerged, growing up with a Christian upbringing, navigating through the experiences of being an LGBT and a Christian, perceived outcomes of the actions that LGBT individuals employed, and feelings elicited by the outcomes, which tells us the unique experiences of LGBT Christians.
