    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.

    The meaning of beauty: A semiotic analysis of a beauty product advertisement and its interpretation by young female professionals
    Alcala, Zharina Ayn T.; Gamayao, April P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study explored on how a beauty product advertisement communicates the concept of beauty and how it can affect the consumption of the said product among young female professionals. By using semiotic analysis, the researchers identified the signs and codes that communicate what is beautiful and its possible effects on the pre-existing concept of beauty. The Focused Group Discussions among 17 participants from Iloilo City revealed that the concept of beauty of the participants is not only defined physically but also holistically. However, the participants deemed physical beauty important. Though the participants identified the signs and codes of related to beauty in the advertisement, these did not affect their concept of beauty and their consumption of the said product. The quality, affordability and credibility of the beauty products were the factors they considered in patronizing the products and not necessarily because of the advertisement.
