    Marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among selected elderly couples in Guimbal, Iloilo
    Asorio, Shiela Mae S.; Pradilla, Lea Angela S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)
    The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among old married couples, as well as their pattern of conflict resolution. Nineteen (19) elderly couples from Guimbal, Iloilo married for at least 25 years and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used were the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), the Gender Equity on Household Labor Scale, and the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire. Results show that marital satisfaction and marital conflict have a significant negative correlation at -0.460 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. However, there was no correlation between marital satisfaction and gender equity at -0.214 and gender equity and marital conflict at 0.252 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. The mean score (19.29) on the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999) indicates that the respondents have a high level of marital satisfaction. There was also a significant gender difference in the distribution of household labor as perceived by the males and the females with to=-16.36 (tc=<-2.042 or >2.042). Lastly, with regards conflict resolution, majority of the respondents use the compromise style. The outcomes of the study support previous studies which state that elderly marriages experience high level of marital satisfaction and less marital conflict.

    Alejandro, Clara Fe. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-10)
    This study explored whether working family women experience stress brought about by their performance of multiple roles as wife, mother, homemaker, and wage-earner. Their 24-hour activity profile was also examined to provide information on how they spend and allocate their time on these various roles. Twenty-three (23) married female employees from the UPV Administration offices were purposively chosen as respondents for this study. The data were obtained by the use of a questionnaire (work and family stress scale) and interview schedule. Results showed that 82.6% of the respondents experience moderate level of stress while 17.4% of the respondents experience low level of stress. Respondents also revealed that the most stressful factor among work and family roles is the conflict on whether to prioritize family over career. While the least stressful variable is the disapproval encountered from people (e.g. family, friends, and neighbors) because they work full-time and do not stay at home. Lastly, the 24-hour activity profile of the respondents showed that aside from their office jobs, they regularly perform a number of homemaking activities.

    Arceo, Daniel Keith M.; Carinal, Jotter Perzeus C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study sought to find out the level of Masculinity and Femininity of freshmen students, their patterns of self - disclosure in terms of gender and if there is a relationship between the two mentioned variables. Forty (40) male and forty (40) female freshmen students (SY 2001-2002) and at the same time staying in the dormitories were randomly selected as participants for this study. A modified Masculinity and Femininity Test based oh the masculinity and femininity traits given in the undergraduate thesis of Marañon (1992) and a modified self - disclosure test by Miller, Berg and Archer (1983) were utilized for data gathering. It was found in the study that among the 40 male respondents, 52.5% scored high in the masculinity items while 47.5% scored high in the femininity items. While the female respondents showed a big difference wherein 70% of them scored high in the femininity items and only 25% of them scored high the masculinity items. On the other hand, five percent of the female respondents were found to be androgynous. Patterns of self-disclosure showed that three fourths (3/4) of the male and female respondents prefer to self-disclose to their same sex and only one fourth of them would self-disclose more to their opposite sex or to both male and female friends. The results revealed that there is a significant correlation between the following relationships: a.) Males’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to male friend; b.) Males’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; c.) Males’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to male friend; d.) Males’ femininity level and their selfdisclosure to female friend; e.) Females’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; f.) Females’ femininity level and their self-disclosure to male friend. However, based on a t-critical 0.304, the following have shown weak relationship with each other. It is difficult to conclude that the level of masculinity and femininity generally affects the pattern of self-disclosure of UPV freshmen students. It was also found in the study that the following have no significant relationship with each other: a.) Females’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to female friend; b.) Females’ masculinity level and their self-disclosure to male friend.
