(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)This study sought to find out the level of Masculinity and Femininity of freshmen students, their patterns of self - disclosure in terms of gender and if there is a relationship between the two mentioned variables. Forty (40) male and forty (40) female freshmen students (SY 2001-2002) and at the same time staying in the dormitories were randomly selected as participants for this study. A modified Masculinity and Femininity Test based oh the masculinity and femininity traits given in the undergraduate thesis of Marañon (1992) and a modified self - disclosure test by Miller, Berg and Archer (1983) were utilized for data gathering. It was found in the study that among the 40 male respondents, 52.5% scored high in the masculinity items while 47.5% scored high in the femininity items. While the female respondents showed a big difference wherein 70% of them scored high in the femininity items and only 25% of them scored high the masculinity items. On the other hand, five percent of the female respondents were found to be androgynous. Patterns of self-disclosure showed that three fourths (3/4) of the male and female respondents prefer to self-disclose to their same sex and only one fourth of them would self-disclose more to their opposite sex or to both male and female friends. The results revealed that there is a significant correlation between the following relationships: a.) Males’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to male friend; b.) Males’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; c.) Males’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to male friend; d.) Males’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; e.) Females’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; f.) Females’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to male friend. However, based on a t-critical 0.304, the following have shown weak relationship with each other. It is difficult to conclude that the level of masculinity and femininity generally affects the pattern of self-disclosure of UPV freshmen students. It was also found in the study that the following have no significant relationship with each other: a.) Females’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; b.) Females’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to male friend.Item MRR students: Self-efficacy, locus of control and reasons for overstaying in UPV Miagao and Iloilo City campusesAbaldonado, Karla A.; Jardino, Bernadette P.

Sixty-three (63) college male students living in an all-male boarding houses in Iloilo City were purposely selected to serve as participants of the study. The Emotional Self Disclosure Scale and the Male Bonding Questionnaire were utilized in the study. The results of the study revealed that respondents displayed bonding by engaging themselves in sports activities. Least of the respondents displayed bonding through giving advice, doing things for each other and attending mass. Male respondents are commonly knowledgeable in terms of hobbies and sports (193 or 77%) of their male peers. Meanwhile, marriage plans got the least frequency and percentage (46 or 18%). Moreover, male respondents were indeed capable of showing empathy and concern to their male friends. Lastly, there exists emotional self-disclosure in male friendships. Results revealed that males usually discussed feeling of happiness (847 or 67%) with a friend; whereas they least discussed feelings of depression (50%), jealousy (48%), and apathy (45%) with a male friend. The researchers recommend a further research about the study, and a more accurate scale should be utilized. The researchers also recommend that a classroom setting in gathering data be used.
