Item Gender differences in desired quality of mates among young employed adults in Iloilo CityBanzuelo, Mariddie L.; Calibjo, Marie Tonnie O. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)This study measured the relationship between the variables as mentioned, gender and desired qualities in mates. It also identified the desired characteristics deemed important by males and females in their potential mate as supported by the evolutionary theory. Two hundred young employed single individuals working in various establishments in Iloilo City completed a 12 item questionnaire which allowed them to rank the characteristics in order of preference. Descriptive analysis showed that there are gender differences in the choice of desired characteristics and is indeed supported by the evolutionary theory on mate selection. Cultural and social aspects were proven to be influencing factors in determining some of the top three characteristics. To determine if the genders differed in the ranks they gave to each trait, the Mann-Whitney test was used.Item The relationship between Mathematics anxiety and test performance in Mathematics of secondary school studentsAtienza, Quintin G., II; Elisterio, Diogel (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03-13)The math anxiety and math test performance of 192 secondary school students from Palaca-Damilisan National High School were assessed using a math anxiety questionnaire and a math test. This was done to find out the effects of math anxiety on high school students’ math test performance. Sex and year level differences on math anxiety and math test performance were also investigated using the analysis of variance. Findings reveal that math anxiety affects math test performance negatively. No statistically significant sex differences were found in both math anxiety and math test performance. No statistically significant year level differences were found in math anxiety. Year-level differences were found to be statistically significant in math test performance. Year level math test performance means showed a decreasing pattern from first year to third year but the means went up in the third year. Tukeys HSD showed that significant differences were coming from the differences in the means of the first and second year levels and the first and third year levels.
