    Locus of control of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers: Its relation to their academic adjustment
    Bataan, Arminda A.; Losare, Anna Marie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study sought to determine the kind of locus of control of the respondents and the level of academic adjustment as seen in their grade point averages. The researchers aimed to find out if there exists a relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. This study was patterned on a previous research on the relationship between the same variables but this study utilized a different instrument and respondents came from Iloilo province. Fifteen (15) college students whose fathers were imprisoned at the time that they were enrolled served as respondents of the study. All respondents came from Iloilo, 33% of which are from Iloilo City and the remaining 67% are from the municipalities. Their ages range from 17-24. Respondents were selected using the snowball method. Respondents were asked to answer the Trice Academic Locus of Control Scale. The scale is composed of 28 items answerable by true or false determined the kind of locus of control of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. In addition, the respondents were asked to submit their copy of grades of the previous semester to determine how well they adjust academically. The computed Pearson Product Moment Correlation is r=0.26 with a rcrit=0.441 at 0.05 alpha. This signifies that indeed there is a significant relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. However, it revealed a weak positive correlation between locus of control and academic adjustment. The findings imply that locus of control is not the sole cause or factor for academic adjustment. The cause or source of a well-adjusted academic performance of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers may therefore be attributed to other factors such as economic and social support coming from family and friends. Such factors could even lead to a poor academic performance. Lastly, academic adjustment and locus of control vary among the respondents, which suggest individual differences among them

    Self-concept, social support, and subjective well-being of stay-at-home fathers from San Joaquin and Miagao, Iloilo
    Barreto, Ann Margarette; Sina-on, Arianne Krystelle (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study on stay-at-home fathers was undertaken due to role reversal brought about by female labor migration. Given that males have taken on relatively new roles as full time parent to their children due to the migration of their wives, changes on their self-concept, the social support that they received, and their levels of subjective well-being were investigated. Ten stay-at-home fathers from the towns of San Joaquin and Miag-ao in southern Iloilo served as participants of this qualitative study. The respondents’ ages range from 27-56 years old. All of the respondents have children, and their wives have been working abroad for not less than a year. The results of this study show that stay-at-home fathers have high levels of subjective well-being as a result of them having positive self-concept and available social support from friends, immediate family members, and relatives. The results of this study can serve as basis in establishing effective programs that will provide support for stay-at-home fathers.
