Item One-sided feelings: The relationship between some socioemotional factors and parasocial relationship in emerging adultsCanabal, 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.Item The effects of the Gawad Kalinga Resettlement program to the general self-efficacy, task orientation and functional social contacts of the schooled adolescents in Gawad Kalinga Villages in Iloilo CityCaminos, Ann Marie P.; Deveza, Ma. Catalina G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)There had been a lot of studies conducted about the Gawad Kalinga (GK) adult residents. This descriptive study will venture on the schooled adolescents (13-19 yrs. old) in the two (2) GK sites, the Sooc, Manduriao Village and the Buntatala, Jaro Village, specifically about their General Self-Efficacy(GSE), Task-orientation and Functional Social Contacts (FSC). General Self-efficacy Test by Schwarzer (2009) and FGD questionnaires are the materials used in this study. There were 47 schooled adolescents. Each GK site was divided into 2 groups (highest and lowest GSE) with 5 participants for each FGD session. It is found that GK program helped the respondents in terms of their adaptation in their new environment. However, the program does not affect their task-orientation because it is mainly influenced by their families. The program does not also serve as a direct functional social contact because of the type of social network they seek in times of problem.Item Pag-aalaga ng taga-alaga: lived experiences of care among live-in internal migrant domestic workersCalubag, Francis Dane B.; Subong, Diana Jan D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-06)Internal migration among domestic workers have become increasingly common among the Filipino population. Understanding their lived experiences allows for a richer understanding of how they navigate their roles in providing care for both their charge(s) and their own spatially-distant children. This study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by utilizing a hermeneutic phenomenological lens to explore the lived experiences of care among Filipino yayas. Data were gathered from six respondents using semi-structured interviews. A significant finding revealed that the yayas’ experience of care are intertwined with maintaining relationships with key individuals in their care work. These include their charge(s), the charge(s)’ parents, their children, and their children’s guardians. Trust is crucial in sustaining these relationships and creating a nurturing environment for care recipients. Being employed as caregivers towards children not their own. the yayas provided professional childcare. They employ strategic approaches in professional care such as establishing strong emotional bonds, spending quality time one-on-one, and using negotiation tactics to gain the charges’ trust. For their own children, they fostered independence and maintained constant communication despite physical separation. Care experiences highlighted the intricacies of paid domestic work, transcending commodification narratives through emotional attachments formed with the charge(s) that they care for. The study also sheds light on the complexities of care work and advocates for better employment policies that support internal migrant domestic workers. Specifically, this can lead to more targeted interventions to address the unique challenges the Yayas' face in their caregiving roles.Item Five-factor model of personality and job satisfaction on organizational commitment of bank employeesCaigoy, Denise C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)This is a descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine and explore the relationship of personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of bank employees in Iloilo City Proper. One hundred ten (110) bank employees aging 20-59 years old were selected through a convenience sampling. The instruments used were Big Five Inventory, Porter’s Job Satisfaction Survey, and Allen and Meyer's Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and Regression. Analysis showed that there is significant relationship between personality traits particularly of extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism and job satisfaction. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability (neuroticism) can predict affective commitment. Extraversion can develop continuance commitment. Agreeableness and Openness to experience can predict normative commitment. It was also found that job satisfaction was an antecedent of organizational commitment.Item Sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbiansCabungcal, Kristine Marie C.; Cebrian, Veah Marie P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)This study described the sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbians. Eight respondents (6 tomboys; 2 lesbians) participated in this study. The tomboys were found to assume more of a masculine role, while lesbians the feminine role. Questionnaires were utilized to describe gender identity and coming out. Also, two Likert types of scales by John Mohr that is Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Identity Scale and Outness Inventory were used. One-one-one interview with the respondents was also conducted to further substantiate what it is being a tomboy or n.lesbian. Results showed that a greater number of respondents (50%) had experienced sexual identity confusion during their elementary years. The same percentage of respondents also reported that it was at the age of 15 that they first realized that they were homosexuals. All of the respondents are clear of their sexual identity and have fully accepted themselves. The respondents were open to their friends. While open to their friends, they remain to be closeted at home due to the stigma that is attached by their family members to tomboys and lesbians.Item The effect of perceiver's gender and masculinity on male masculinity performing female streotypic rolesCabrera, Gresilita Liza B.; Ochon, Maybelle Lalaine T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-10)This study was designed to examine the effects of perceiver’s gender and masculinity cues on male masculinity performing female stereotypic roles. 60 participants consisting of thirty males and thirty females, were randomly selected and assigned to four treatment groups. The groups had been assessed using the Instrument which comprises three descriptions with five items for the first description and 10 items for both the second and third descriptions. A 2x2 factorial design and two-way between ANOVA were used with a 0.05 significance level. The results showed that perceiver’s gender did not affect perception but masculinity cues yielded a considerable mark. Both male and female responded remarkably on descriptions with high masculinity cues only. The results further indicated that there is no interaction between the two independent variables.Item Children of fathers behind bars: Evaluating their perceived social stigma in relation to their levels of self-esteem and social interactionCabarles, Maria L.; Muyco, Rich Girl S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)The study aimed to describe the relationship of social stigma experienced or perceived to self-esteem and level of social interaction of children with incarcerated father. Respondents consisted of thirty-two high school student ages 13-17 years old, either currently studying or out of school residing in the rural or urban areas of Iloilo. They were selected using a quota sampling method. Gathering of data was in the form of interview and questionnaire which was answered by the respondents. The study hypothesized that there is a relation between the self-esteem and level of social interaction, there is a relation between self-esteem and social stigma experienced or perceived by the children and there is a relation between the level of social interaction and social stigma experienced or perceived of the children with incarcerated father. Spearman-Rank Correlation (Rs) was used to analyze data. The results showed that only the self-esteem and the level of social interaction of children with incarcerated father has a relationship.Item Psychosocial costs of post-employment of Overseas Filipino Workers of Leon, IloiloBritanico, Lee Robert M.; Roxas, Pearl Marie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This study aimed to find out the psychosocial effects of post-employment on the OFWs, as well as how they would reintegrate themselves to their respective families and communities. Thirty five respondents, 23 female and 12 male, were selected through convenience sampling. The respondents were residents of Leon, Iloilo. Each has worked abroad for at least 5 years, is married, and has children. The findings did not support the idea that labor migration affects primarily the relationship of the migrant workers to their family and community. The respondents remained close to their family despite being away from them for quite a time. Their reintegration to community was relatively easy despite being unaware of the reintegration programs of the governmentItem Children's perception on the gender role content of Philippine television programsBrillo, Kharla Mae D.; Cruzada, Felecyl Joy P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This study aimed to find out the gender role portrayals in Philippine television programs. The narratives of elementary students regarding their perceptions of two primetime shows, Honesto and Got To Believe were analyzed. The sample consisted of twenty-one (21) respondents that have passed the criteria prior to the interview. The analysis revealed that male characters are perceived to be capable of acquiring a higher level of education and occupation; are generally richer; engage in physically demanding activities; usually care less of how they look and are socially inhibited. Conversely, female characters are perceived to engage in domestic chores; particularly lighter activities; are more creative; are more sociable; are commonly concerned of their physical appearance; and are often victims of maltreatment.Item "When we were young" comparisons and correlates of negative childhood experiencesBravo, 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.
