    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.

    Realignment of roles, attachment styles in family relationships and reassessment of values of overseas Filipino worker returnees in Tigbauan, Iloilo
    Bacero, Mon Ritchie Y.; Benosa, Aaron Alden O. (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.
