(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The study was conducted to find out the roles and values change and adjustments in the family relationships undergone by an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) returnee during his post-employment. Thirty (30) OFW returnees from chosen Barangays in Tigbauan, Iloilo participated in answering the Traditional Marital Role Questionnaire, Experience in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Questionnaire, and an interview guide for the assessment of their Filipino Values and Ideals. Results show that most of the traditional marital roles are not exclusive anymore to one spouse, rather done by both. Good relationship based on trust was found among majority of the respondents since they are securely-attached to their families. Positive values change in respect became apparent for some OFWs who alleviated the family’s situation.Item Types and severity of sexual harassment among female college students in a non-traditional degree programBacanto, Jay Ann B.; Quilantang, Ma. Ellaine N. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)This descriptive study aimed to find out the perception of female college students in a non- traditional degree towards the types and severity of sexual harassment. Fifty-four (54) female students, who were officially enrolled in the College of Criminology at the University of Iloilo for school year 2002-2003 during the second semester, participated in the research. Perception on sexual harassment was measured using a revised scale on the Perception of the types and severity of sexual harassment developed by Baker, Terpstra, and Larntz (1990). The scale has six scenarios reflecting the types and severity of sexual harassment, whereas females working in a male- dominated workplaces were being sexually harassed by male co-workers. The mean scores and standard deviations were utilized to interpret the data. The results of the study revealed that incidents having sexual coercion were perceived higher compared to other types of sexual harassment (x=1.17; s=3.66). Types of sexual harassment with an element of physical contact were perceived to be more sexually harassing (x=5.41; s=4.61).It further revealed that sexual harassment with physical contact were perceived most sexually harassing (x=2.43; s= 1.09).Item Self-esteem, coping strategies and views on masculinity among selected househusbands in Jaro, Iloilo CityAsperga, Altheamae V.; EScoto, Mia Frances A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This is a descriptive study which sought to determine the following: (1) the levels of self-esteem among househusbands, (2) their coping strategies towards problems and stress, (3) and their views on the concept of masculinity. Twenty-eight househusbands with wives working abroad participated in the study. The research utilized the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the COPE Inventory, and a masculinity scale to measure the three variables respectively. The results yielded a high level of self-esteem for these househusbands. For the coping strategies, it was found out that the three most often used coping styles were that of religious, followed by planning, and active coping. The least employed was the substance use coping probably because it is highly associated with being an irresponsible father and husbands. On the other hand, there was no significant difference found between the househusbands’ who had traditional and progressive views on masculinity.Item Marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among selected elderly couples in Guimbal, IloiloAsorio, Shiela Mae S.; Pradilla, Lea Angela S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among old married couples, as well as their pattern of conflict resolution. Nineteen (19) elderly couples from Guimbal, Iloilo married for at least 25 years and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used were the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), the Gender Equity on Household Labor Scale, and the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire. Results show that marital satisfaction and marital conflict have a significant negative correlation at -0.460 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. However, there was no correlation between marital satisfaction and gender equity at -0.214 and gender equity and marital conflict at 0.252 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. The mean score (19.29) on the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999) indicates that the respondents have a high level of marital satisfaction. There was also a significant gender difference in the distribution of household labor as perceived by the males and the females with to=-16.36 (tc=<-2.042 or >2.042). Lastly, with regards conflict resolution, majority of the respondents use the compromise style. The outcomes of the study support previous studies which state that elderly marriages experience high level of marital satisfaction and less marital conflict.Item The effect of playing violent video games and gender on aggression among first year students in Iloilo National High SchoolBalicanta, Alexander John F.; Cacho, Charlotte J. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)The study was conducted to determine the effects of playing violent video games and gender on aggression among first-year high school students. The experimental design utilized two treatment groups and two control groups. The four groups consisted of (1) males who played the violent videogame; (2) females who played the violent videogame; (3) males who played the nonviolent videogame; and (4) females who played the nonviolent videogame. In this study, aggression was measured using the Direct and Indirect Aggression Scales (DIAS). The DIAS consists of 24 items that measure physical, verbal, and indirect aggression. Prior to the administration of the DIAS, the participants were first asked to play video games. Two groups were assigned to play a violent video game, and the other two groups played a nonviolent game. The participants’ scores in the DIAS were computed and analyzed using the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with interaction. This is done to show if the variables type of video game played and gender significantly affect aggression among adolescents. The two-way ANOVA with interaction yielded three computed values of F. Results show that there is a significant F-ratio on the variable type of video game played. The obtained F is 5.45, and an F of 4.26 is required at the 0.05 level with 1 and 27 df. Since 5.45 is greater than 4.26, the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, the conclusion is that the type of video game played has a significant effect on aggression among first-year high school students. However, the F-ratio derived for the variable gender was not significant. The obtained F is 3.59, and an F of 4.26 is required at the 0.05 level with 1 and 27 df. Since the value of F is less than 4.26, the null hypothesis on gender is accepted. Thus, gender has no significant effect on aggression among first-year high school students. The F ratio derived for the interaction of the two variables is also not significant. The computed value of F., which is only 0.297, is less than 4.26. The null hypothesis, thus, is rejected. This leads to the conclusion that the type of videogame played and gender do not interact to affect aggression.Item Personal health assessment, help-seeking behavior and degree of family support on elderlyAsenjo, Pearl Joy L.; Italia, Jonna B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)The study was conducted to find out the way elderly assess their health, ways of seeking help in their health related problems and degree of family support. Fifty (50) elderly from Brgy. Tiolas, San Joaquin, Iloilo ages 60-80 years old and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used in measuring the variables were the Health Orientation Scale by William Snell (1996), Help-seeking Behavior Questionnaire, and Degree of Family Support Scale. Results showed that elderly do tend to assess their health with less strict standard. Generally, elderly rate their health status as average. Both formal (seeking the help of professionals) and informal (relying on family members, friends and neighbors) ways of seeking help were found to be the ways elderly used in solving their health-related problems. As previous studies shown that family serves as the primary support system on elderly, respondents in this study indicated that they received more intangible form of support (moral and emotional) from their family members than tangible form (financial).Item Philippine Muslim youths in Iloilo City: Their personal well-being, sense of national identity, and views on post 9/11 sociopolitical issuesBalilhe, Charinson C.; Guillerme, Kerry Anne O.

Twenty-one (21) males and twelve (12) females, 13-27 years of age, unmarried, and of Maranao descent participated in this research. Scales were used to rate the respondents' personal well-being and for general ethnicity. A questionnaire for pride in being Filipino used to determine their sense of national identity, and an open-ended questionnaire to determine their views on post 9/11 sociopolitical issues. It was found out that the Philippine Muslim youths in Iloilo City have high level personal well-being where most respondents showed high scores in self-esteem, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with life. Most of the respondents also showed strong national identity. Respondents had held different views on post 9/11 sociopolitical issues. While 76% do not support the terrorists group, others (45%) do not support the man-hunt against it. and that 48% believe that the 9/11 event was plain terrorism.Item Decision-making, motivation and life aspirations of the potential TagasaloArtuz, Raje Paul F.; Revesencio, Nina I. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)The study sought to identify, determine and describe the distinct Decision-Making orientations of the potential Tagasalo, the Motivation that influences their dispositions, and their Life Aspirations. Twenty four (24) participants aged 18-22 years old who belonged to the College of Arts and Sciences were purposively selected from the dormitories of the University of the Philippines Visayas, Miagao campus, Iloilo. Questionnaires were given to the participants in order to study the variables under investigation. Interviews were also conducted to yield more relevant information that the questionnaire cannot cover. Results show that potential Tagasalos have relied most of their decisions on their families’ current economic state. Also, personal decisions were still anchored on family followed by their will and choice respectively. More so, most of the participants were intrinsically motivated and affected by family roles and values, which in turn influence their life aspirations. Findings show that indeed, aspirations of potential Tagasalos were intrinsic in nature and viewed to be more attainable compared to that of extrinsic aspirationsItem Multiple roles and stress among UPV administration married female employeesAlejandro, Clara Fe. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-10)This study explored whether working family women experience stress brought about by their performance of multiple roles as wife, mother, homemaker, and wage-earner. Their 24-hour activity profile was also examined to provide information on how they spend and allocate their time on these various roles. Twenty-three (23) married female employees from the UPV Administration offices were purposively chosen as respondents for this study. The data were obtained by the use of a questionnaire (work and family stress scale) and interview schedule. Results showed that 82.6% of the respondents experience moderate level of stress while 17.4% of the respondents experience low level of stress. Respondents also revealed that the most stressful factor among work and family roles is the conflict on whether to prioritize family over career. While the least stressful variable is the disapproval encountered from people (e.g. family, friends, and neighbors) because they work full-time and do not stay at home. Lastly, the 24-hour activity profile of the respondents showed that aside from their office jobs, they regularly perform a number of homemaking activities.Item Helpees' gender and help-seeking behaviorAddat, Sittie Jayhan M.; Tamboong, Eleanor P. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)This study was conducted to determine whether there was a difference between male and female students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas Division of Biological Sciences on their help-seeking behavior. The sample was composed of 30 males and 30 females enrolled during the second semester on academic year 2001-2002.The respondents were chosen through simple random sampling. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure differences between male and female respondents on help-seeking behavior. The t-test at .05 level of significance was used to establish any significant difference between male and female respondents. To establish on the differences in sources of help among male and female respondents, chi-square was set at .05 level of significance. The Kendall Coefficient of Concordance was used to determine any significant difference between male and female respondents on the type of problem they sought help for. The results of the study showed that males sought help more frequently than males [t= .29, σ .05|. The correlation between gender and sources of help was found to be significant for problem type (Academic, χ=14.01 at σ < .05; Financial, =9.41 at σ < .05; Emotional/Personal, χ=26.39 at σ < .05; Peer Pressure χ=20.13 at < .05; and Spiritual, χ= 15.17 at σ < .05). In Family related problems was found to be insignificant with χ= 4.58 at σ < .05. The correlation between gender and type of problem being helped was found to be significant with a value of s = 13478 for W .214 at σ < .05.
