    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.

    Artuz, Raje Paul F.; Revesencio, Nina I. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    The study sought to identify, determine and describe the distinct Decision-Making orientations of the potential Tagasalo, the Motivation that influences their dispositions, and their Life Aspirations. 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
