    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.

    Moral development of adolescents from single-parent and two-parent family structure
    Balones, Katrina Jay D.; Jimenez, France Charmaine Judith G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    The study was conducted to find out the moral development of adolescents from single-parent and two-parent families, the gender differences in adolescent moral development, the themes of adolescent moral reasoning, and the influences of the family in adolescent moral reasoning. Using a mixed method approach, 98 students from the University of the Philippines Visayas, Miag-ao campus answered the Moral Judgment Test. Out of the 98, eight participants were chosen to take part in the in-depth interview. The instruments used were the demographic survey to determine the family structure that the participants belonged to, the Moral Judgment Test to determine the moral development of the adolescents, and an interview guide where a Kohlberg Dilemma was presented to look for moral reasoning themes, and to gather pertinent information about their families. Results showed that family structure and gender do not have significant effects on the moral development of adolescents F(l, 94) =0.51, p =.48. No significant main effects [F (1,94) = 0.21, p = .65 and F (1, 94) = 0, p = .99] were likewise observed for family structure and gender, respectively. The Moral Judgment Test mean scores showed that the adolescents of this study fall under the medium level. Qualitative data revealed that the moral reasoning patterns of the adolescents are characterized by an emphasis on relationships, indicating a morality of care. On the other hand, a morality of justice was emphasized by adolescents in cases when dilemma pertaining to facts was presented. The influence of the family as the initial context within which adolescents first learn about morality was highlighted. The results above indicate that Filipino adolescents from two-parent and singleparent family structure are of the same moral development level and moral reasoning. In contrast with studies relating family structure and adolescents, being in a non — traditional family structure is not necessarily a disadvantage to adolescents in terms of their moral development.

    Utang na loob: The Ilonggo experience
    Baldo, Jezzebelle T.; Quirante, Rachel Joy A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study aimed to investigate the construct of utang na loob from the Ilonggo perspective and to distinguish the Filipino concept of utang na loob from Trivers’ model of reciprocal altruism. This research is an exploratory study which made use of focus group discussion for data collection. The data was analyzed using category pattern analysis. Based on the results, utang na loob in the Ilonggo perspective is utang na kabalaslan. Its process is parallel but not equivalent to utang na loob in the Kapwa perspective and partly in reciprocal altruism. However, differences lie in the concept, construct, dimensions and repayment. Also, utang na loob in Kapwa differs with reciprocal altruism in terms of reason for helping, repayment and extent of the process.

    Perception of Ilonggo college students on sexual agression
    Arnaldo, Hazel Joy J.; Eliseo, Vargas F., Jr. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study explored the perception of Ilonggo college students on sexual aggression. This was approached with the attempt to generate an Ilonggo youth culture definition and concept of sexual aggression. Four focus group discussions were conducted among varied gender groups (males, females, gays and lesbians). A total of 22 participants between 17-21 years old, from different colleges and universities in Iloilo and were either experienced in dating relationships or not. Results showed that sexual aggression, for these Ilonggo college students, is naturally occuring in dating relationships. There are specific behaviors enacted as sexual aggression in conducive environments, and that coercion is part of the sex play in which one must initiate and the recipient will follow whether he/she likes it or not. There are also gender differences and specific Filipino traits in determining perceived susceptibility to sexual aggression.

Results showed that participants do not proactively recruit PWD. Companies are not hiring PWD because of the following top three main reasons: the PWD safety in the building premises, work performance/quality, and productivity.
