    Artisanal fishers: Knowledge on disaster risk, psychological preparedness, and psychosocial factors of resiliency
    Balan, Anna Gabriell D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
    This study examined the knowledge on disaster risk, psychological preparedness for disaster threat and psychosocial factors of resiliency among artisanal fishers after typhoon Yolanda. Eighty-eight artisanal fishers participated in eight focus group discussions (FGDs) with 8-15 members each. They were administered a Hiligaynon-translated subscale of the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale or PPDTS (Zulch, Morrissey, Reser & Creed, 2012) and were asked questions guided by the developed Knowledge on Disaster Risk interview schedule and Psychosocial Factors of Resiliency interview schedule. Results showed that participants became more knowledgeable on disaster risk after typhoon Yolanda. Their knowledge is influenced by internal and external factors. They also displayed a high psychological preparedness for disaster threat. Psychosocial factors of resiliency that worked best for the participants are being resourceful and initiating a self-help strategy, assuming family- responsibility, faith in God, and material support coming from the different institutions.

    Araneta, Czarinnah G.; Suyo, Jee Grace B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), 2005-03)
    This study examined the level of attachment to parents and psychological well-being of the children and likewise the life aspirations of these children in selected coastal communities. Twenty-one males (21) and thirty-one (31) females with 12-16 years of age participated in this study. Two scales were used to rate the attachment to parents and psychological well-being of the respondents and an interview guide to know the life aspirations of the children. It was found out that the children of coastal communities generally have a positive psychological well-being and a high level of attachment to parents. The participants expressed their top three goals in life - finishing studies, life prosperity and service to God. They wanted to find high paying professional jobs and help in the income of their family. They also wished to live prosperously in a clean and peaceful community.
