    Bedia, Nadine Grace D.; Petrola, Mary Anne G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    A large number of the Philippine population has visual impairment problems and many of them are children. The study explored on the worldview, life aspirations and quality of life of visually impaired children. Five (5) visually impaired children aged 11-18 years old who studied at SPED Integrated School, Iloilo City were the participants of the study. Using a descriptive and phenomenological approach, the visually impaired children were purposively selected to answer the interview guide. Findings show that children under study came from nurturing homes and they get different reactions from their peers when they were mainstreamed unlike that when they are inside the SPED classroom. Also, they regarded some life aspirations to be important but the likelihood of attaining these goals was low. Generally, these children have moderate to good quality of life. Their level of superiority is low, thus, they have this feeling of inadequacy.

    Locus of control of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers: Its relation to their academic adjustment
    Bataan, Arminda A.; Losare, Anna Marie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study sought to determine the kind of locus of control of the respondents and the level of academic adjustment as seen in their grade point averages. The researchers aimed to find out if there exists a relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. This study was patterned on a previous research on the relationship between the same variables but this study utilized a different instrument and respondents came from Iloilo province. Fifteen (15) college students whose fathers were imprisoned at the time that they were enrolled served as respondents of the study. All respondents came from Iloilo, 33% of which are from Iloilo City and the remaining 67% are from the municipalities. Their ages range from 17-24. Respondents were selected using the snowball method. Respondents were asked to answer the Trice Academic Locus of Control Scale. The scale is composed of 28 items answerable by true or false determined the kind of locus of control of these male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. In addition, the respondents were asked to submit their copy of grades of the previous semester to determine how well they adjust academically. The computed Pearson Product Moment Correlation is r=0.26 with a rcrit=0.441 at 0.05 alpha. This signifies that indeed there is a significant relationship between locus of control and academic adjustment of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers. However, it revealed a weak positive correlation between locus of control and academic adjustment. The findings imply that locus of control is not the sole cause or factor for academic adjustment. The cause or source of a well-adjusted academic performance of male adolescents with imprisoned fathers may therefore be attributed to other factors such as economic and social support coming from family and friends. Such factors could even lead to a poor academic performance. Lastly, academic adjustment and locus of control vary among the respondents, which suggest individual differences among them

To examine perceived stress, social support, coping strategies and psychological well-being among retired teachers in Tigbauan, Iloilo, qualitative and quantitative measures were conducted to 41 retired teachers. In general, retired teachers perceive low levels of stress. Factors that contribute to perceived stress are health conditions, financial concerns, family problems and current activities.
