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, 2014-03)This is a descriptive and correlational study which sought to explore the relationship of work-family conflict, stress and satisfaction among the respondents.

(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. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This study was conducted to determine how colors of athletic uniforms can affect the athlete’s aggression, motivation and Ideal Performance State. 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 orangeItem Women in male dominated institution: A look into the experiences of female BS Marine Transportation students of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University-ArevaloAlegre, Anavie R.; Cortez, Jee Princess C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-04)This study sought to determine the gendered experiences of female students in John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation Maritime University - Arevalo and its implications on the integration of women in male dominated courses and professions. This study utilized Joan Acker's theory of gendered organizations as point of reference on how organizations reproduce and maintain sexualized attitudes and assumptions. This study explores female students’ (1) learning experiences, (2) the attitudes of teachers towards them, (3) their relationship with male classmates, (4) access to scholarships, gender sensitive facilities and programs, (5) their perceptions on their experiences and its (5) implications to seafaring works. The data collection made use of unstructured interview schedules and focus group discussions with female students to reveal their experiences, attitudes and assumptions on studying in a male-dominated institution geared towards a male-dominated career. In-depth interviews were also conducted with professional and general education teachers, administrators and the staff of JBLFMU. The findings of the study convey that female students in the university experience benevolent sexism, which refers to considerations, special treatments towards female students in the said university. This treatment encompasses designation of safer and easier tasks to female students. This entails that subtle sexism exists in the university. In addition, despite initial efforts to promote gender equality in the university system, the JBLFMU still lacks mechanisms that cater to the needs of tlie female students.Item Portrayals of women and feminist issues on feminist -themed Filipino movies: A content analysisAlba, Phoebe Ann A.; Basa, Cyprian Jade L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)This descriptive study analyzed two feminist-themed movies in the Philippines in terms of their portrayals of women and issues concerning women. Specifically, this study sought to examine how women were portrayed in the selected movies using (1) characterlevel analysis, which included observation of personal characteristics, appearances, and gender roles portrayed by the female characters); and, (2) scene-level analysis, which identified issues of sexualization, subordination, underrepresentation, violence, and acts of empowerment. This study also explored how these portrayals of women and feminist issues relate to the social realities of the films’ milieu. The findings revealed that there were some disparities between Sister Stella L. and Crying Ladies in terms of their portrayal of female characters, most notably in personal appearances and clothing. There were significant presentations of issues concerning women such as sexualization, underrepresentation, subordination, and violence. Female characters in both films were observed to have participated in traditional gender roles as well as in community politics and productive roles. These participation of women in non-traditional feminine roles in the films confirmed that female characters are empowered specifically in welfare, access, conscientization, participation, and control.Item A critical review of UPV-based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studiesAgris, Charmaine Joy F. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-08)This undergraduate research project is a critical review of UPV-Based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies from four significantly diversesources covering a total of fifty two (52) CRM studies.This research aims to identify and to critically analyze the collection of undergraduate projects of Political Science and Economics students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas, select articles from Danyag: Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences articles, unpublished studies deposited in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension (OVCRE) and the December 2006 Culture and Resource Management issue of Palayag of the Center for West Visayan Studies. The studies were distributed into different categories and subcategories to ensure that they are divided into mutually exclusive and independent groups and so as to avoid overlapping of data. Employing the system of categorization, this critical review analyzes the range of themes and topics tackled in the studies and is intended to determine the development of research methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework, and findings of the studies included in all the categories. The four major categories are: (a) Studies on Decentralized Management, (b) Studies on Natural Resource Governance, (c) Social Dynamics in Coastal Resource Management, and (d) Human Dimensions in Coastal Resource Management. The extensive listings of coastal resource management studies revealed that country’s CRM practices are rooted on participation, collaboration and is geared towards sustainability. A holistic coastal resource management practice should be modeled on the synthesis drawnfrom the knowledge, skills and past experiences from both governmental and local efforts to the management of coastal resources.Item Cost analysis of coral gardening in Bato Bukay MPA, Guimbal, IloiloAcob, Philina Riva L.; Rojas, Jan Katherine C. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-06)This study analyzes the costs of coral gardening in Bato Bukay MPA in Guimbal. Iloilo. Cognizant of the degradation of their coastal areas and fisheries, the community of Bgy Nalundan, where the marine protected area is located, sought to find solution through marine conservation and coral gardening. Being the habitat and breeding grounds of fishes, coral reefs are one of the most important natural resources that people must protect. Hence, several projects were implemented to propagate the establishment of Marine Protected Areas such as the deployment of artificial reefs and coral gardening activities. Costs of coral gardening in the site were estimated using key informant interviews with individuals who were involved with or who were knowledgeable on the establishment and maintenance of the project, and from secondary sources, thereby enabling the computation of the total costs. A survey of randomly selected participants that included Contingent Valuation Method was conducted in barangays Nalundan, Calampitao and Cabubugan, to determine the socio-economic profile and estimate the local community support through their willingness-to-pay and willingness to support in kind. Proportional sampling formula, adjusted to small population was used to determine the number of these participants across the barangays. The total cost for coral gardening on its first year was estimated as Php 336.684 combining all the fixed, variable and opportunity costs incurred. Out of the total costs, 40% amounted as fixed costs, while 33% were variable costs, and 27% constituted opportunity costs. More people were willing to pay in-kind by volunteering than to pay in monetary terms for the project’s fund for sustainability.
