    Marital satisfaction, level of stress and marital decision making of military spouses
    Cajada, Dylene C.; Larroza, Rochelle Fae L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)
    The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction and level of stress, as well as the marital decision making of military spouses. Thirty military spouses’ ages 22-65 yeas old with at least 1 child, married for at least 1 year and whose husband were currently deployed or has been deployed at the time of the study participated. Three instruments were utilized namely: Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) by Home and Rahe (1967), and Family Decision Making Scale by Erispe and Mestidio (2007). Results showed that military spouses have high marital satisfaction, high level of stress, and both spouses decide on family decision making. There is a low negative correlation between marital satisfaction and level of stress at -.067 (a=0.05 level of significance) which means that stress does not correspondingly affect the level of marital satisfaction among military spouses.

    Public opinion towards the roles of the military in politics
    Bacaoco, Jeemon Rey A.; Tabernilla, Piologo A., II (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-04)
    The study has 200 respondents all from Iloilo City, randomly selected according to population in all six districts. The respondents were given a four-category questionnaire to answer that detailed in value statements the military’s roles: traditional roles of the military, non traditional roles of the military, former military in politics and military and society. This paper obtained the public’s opinion through their answers in the questionnaire that employed a Likert-Scale that ranges from 1 as strongly disagree, 2 as disagree, 3 as neutral, 4 as agree and 5 as strongly agree. The result showed that the public disagrees with the military’s participation in politics as shown in their disagreements with the military taking over in times of presidential vacancy with 80.5 percent in the disagree scale and in former military personnel entering into politics with 80 percent on the disagree scale. But in terms of the non — traditional roles of the military, the public agrees with them, like they largely agree with the traditional ones, not seeing them as opportunities for roles in politics.
