    One-sided feelings: The relationship between some socioemotional factors and parasocial relationship in emerging adults
    Canabal, Gellyn D.; Galindez, Sarah Francine G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    The present study examined the relationships between the engagement in parasocial relationships and some socio-emotional factors, including attachment anxiety, need to belong, loneliness, and close relationship satisfaction in emerging adults. A descriptive correlational design with two comparison groups was employed. There were forty respondents (N=40) who were assigned to one of the two groups: with PSR (WPSR; n=20) and with no PSR (WNPSR; n=20). The data were gathered online through Google Forms. The results were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlational statistics. The study found that there were no significant correlations between the four (4) socio-emotional factors and parasocial relationships. The findings did not support the expected relationships between the said variables. The study suggests a need to clarify the relationships by investigating the causality of socio-emotional factors to parasocial relationships.

    "When we were young" comparisons and correlates of negative childhood experiences
    Bravo, Vivian F.; Madero, Patrick Gabriel G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-06)
    Negative childhood experiences in the forms of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are potentially traumatic events that have long-lasting impacts on individuals. Previous studies have shown that these experiences are linked to negative health outcomes such as health-risk behaviors, chronic diseases, and negative psychological outcomes. There was a rapid increase in studies that investigate negative childhood experiences worldwide but these were mostly saturated in high socioeconomic status (SES) populations. Several studies were conducted to investigate these experiences in poor countries but these were mostly situated abroad. To date, studies on negative childhood experiences that investigate their link to parental SES, current SES, and health outcomes are scarce in the Philippines. Apart from that, local studies that compare the occurrences of these experiences between different SES are also scant. Addressing these gaps, this study utilized respondents from low and middle SES to understand the link between negative childhood experiences, parental SES, current SES, and health outcomes in adulthood. Using descriptive and correlational methods, this study revealed that there are higher incidences of negative childhood experiences in low-SES compared to middle-SES, suggesting that abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are more common in low SES and poor communities. Associations between these experiences, parental SES, current SES. and health outcomes are also found. More so, it reveals differing health outcomes in low- and middle-SES. The greater implications of these findings are discussed. The findings of this study support the need for prevention and intervention for negative childhood experiences.

    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.

    Balsamo, Ethel (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-04)
    This study deals with gender analysis on the portrayal of violence against women in the films made by Carlos Siguion Reyna. Its aims to (1) identify the role of women portrayed in the films made by Carlos Siguion Reyna, (2) to describe the portrayal of violence against women in the films made by Carlos Siguion Reyna, and (3) to explain the portrayal of violence against women in the films made by Carlos Siguion Reyna. The twelve films of Carlos Siguion Reyna were briefly presented to aid for further understanding of the study. Different roles of women portrayed in the films were enumerated and were explained briefly into their portrayal. Violence against women was categorized into physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Finally, a gender analysis was used to assess the portrayal of violence against women in the films of Carlos Siguion Reyna. In this study, data were gathered through self-analysis of the ten films of Carlos Siguion Reyna with the help of some film reviews of his films. Violence against women is evident in the films of director and it comes in many forms, be it physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Patriarchy, women seen as sex object are some of the factors that contributed to the violence toward women and it happens in most social groups and all income levels. The ideas and images of women in reality are reinforced in the mass media on which people model their behavior and attitudes. Thus, indeed there is a relationship between the social condition of women in reality and the portrayal of violence against women in films.

    Health, social support, and life satisfaction of selected older persons in Asilo de Molo
    Bacolor, Heidi F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study was undertaken in order to determine the current status of older persons in Asilo de Molo in terms of health, social support and life satisfaction. Eighteen (18) elders, four (4) males and fourteen (14) females were chosen through convenient sampling as respondents of this study. Katz'' Activities of Daily Living Scale, Lawton’s Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale and Dr. Andrew Goliszek’s Life Satisfaction Index were utilized to gather the necessary data. Using the mode, the frequencies and percentage distributions for each variable were tabulated and analyzed. Results showed that respondents are relatively in good health condition and that majority of the reported cases of disease and chronic conditions are linked to normal aging namely, poor vision, hypertension and arthritis. Moreover, a large percentage of the respondents can function fairly independently by themselves, which means they can perform at least 50% of the activities in the ADL and IADL scales with minor assistance from the social and health workers. In terms of social support, the findings are contradictory to previous researches that highlight the primary importance of family and relatives as sources of support, both in material and non-material aspects. Instead, the bottom-line lifelines identified are the social workers. Life satisfaction findings reveal that majority of the respondents are moderately satisfied with their life, contrary to negative stereotypes on older persons living in institutions.
