Item Sexual self-scheme and sexual aggrression of male readers of Lad magazineAspero, Maris Pylene P.; Faramiran, Zyreen Lou B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-10)This study was conducted to find out the impact of reading lad magazines on the sexual self-schema and sexual aggression in men. One hundred men of fifty readers and fifty non-readers of lad magazines, from a male dominated institution, 18 to 30 years old served as participants of this study. A survey was conducted and four (4) instruments were used to measure the readership, sexual self-schema, and sexual aggression of men. The design of this study was correlational. To show the relationship between the variables, data were analyzed using the Pearson r correlational statistic. The results of this research show that readership of lad magazines is associated with high sexual self-schema in the study sample and the likelihood of being sexually aggressive in comparison to non-readers. Men learned information regarding sex through lad magazines. These magazines also present women in a sexually arousing manner through their pictures and articles. Men's lifestyle was also affected by their readership of lad magazines.Item Work-family conflict, stress, and satisfaction among married female public elementary teachersArsenio, John Clint C.; Supnet, J P.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)The aim of this phenomenological study was to achieve deeper and broader understanding on the lived experiences of adolescents who lost a parent. Interviews were conducted with six participants, ages 17-19 years old using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The tape- recorded interviews with the adolescent participants were analysed using IPA. The data identified three general themes that reveal the adolescents’ lived experiences: experiencing changes in family pattern, changes in relationship with other people and changes in one’s inner. Findings of the study indicated that the adolescents’ relationship with other family members, relatives and friends or peers provided them with social, emotional and financial support at the time they needed it the most. However, the relationship with this same set of people also caused conflict and other negatively-themed experiences.Item Artisanal fishers: Knowledge on disaster risk, psychological preparedness, and psychosocial factors of resiliencyBalan, 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.Item Colors of athletic uniforms: how they can affect the athletes' aggression, motivation, and ideal performance stateAlingasa, Aniceta Patricia T.; Dayot, Eva Marie S.

Sixteen (16) members of West Visayas State University’s basketball varsity team were the participants of this study. A series of experiments and a set of scales were made for the participants to answer in order to gather necessary data in analyzing their responses. The results of the study showed that athletes have different emotional responses to colors, and that the colors highest in emotional response for the cool and warm domain were blue and orange respectively. There is no significant effect between color of athletic uniform and motivation, as well as aggression. It is found that the color blue fosters a more well- developed Ideal Performance State than the color orange
