    Asperga, Altheamae V.; EScoto, Mia Frances A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)
    This is a descriptive study which sought to determine the following: (1) the levels of self-esteem among househusbands, (2) their coping strategies towards problems and stress, (3) and their views on the concept of masculinity. Twenty-eight househusbands with wives working abroad participated in the study. The research utilized the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the COPE Inventory, and a masculinity scale to measure the three variables respectively. The results yielded a high level of self-esteem for these househusbands. For the coping strategies, it was found out that the three most often used coping styles were that of religious, followed by planning, and active coping. The least employed was the substance use coping probably because it is highly associated with being an irresponsible father and husbands. On the other hand, there was no significant difference found between the househusbands’ who had traditional and progressive views on masculinity.

Twenty four (24) participants aged 18-22 years old who belonged to the College of Arts and Sciences were purposively selected from the dormitories of the University of the Philippines Visayas, Miagao campus, Iloilo. Questionnaires were given to the participants in order to study the variables under investigation. Interviews were also conducted to yield more relevant information that the questionnaire cannot cover. Results show that potential Tagasalos have relied most of their decisions on their families’ current economic state. Also, personal decisions were still anchored on family followed by their will and choice respectively. More so, most of the participants were intrinsically motivated and affected by family roles and values, which in turn influence their life aspirations. Findings show that indeed, aspirations of potential Tagasalos were intrinsic in nature and viewed to be more attainable compared to that of extrinsic aspirations
