    Group study vs. individual study: A comparison of effective study technique
    Bang-as, Erlie P.; Toles, Elohai N. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03-31)
    This study was an attempt to find out which of the two study techniques is effective: group study or individual study. It also sought to know which of the two academic groups performed better in a group study or in an individual study. The respondents were 60 students from the Biological and Social Sciences Divisions. Subjects were selected using the simple random sampling. The design was a 2 (Group study and Individual study) x 2 (Biological Sciences and Social Sciences) factorial design and this tested three hypotheses; (1) To find out if students perform better when they study in groups than when they study alone; (2) To find out if Biology students perform better than Social Science students; (3) To know if Biology students perform better than Social Science students when they study in groups than when they study alone The researchers used the 2x2 Analysis of Variance in the analysis of the data. The results were obtained by using the ANOVA and F test was used to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that (1) students who studied in groups performed better than those who studied individually, (2) Biology students performed better than Social Science students and (3) there was an interaction between study techniques and the academic groups.

    The relationship between Mathematics anxiety and test performance in Mathematics of secondary school students
    Atienza, Quintin G., II; Elisterio, Diogel (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03-13)
    The math anxiety and math test performance of 192 secondary school students from Palaca-Damilisan National High School were assessed using a math anxiety questionnaire and a math test. This was done to find out the effects of math anxiety on high school students’ math test performance. Sex and year level differences on math anxiety and math test performance were also investigated using the analysis of variance. Findings reveal that math anxiety affects math test performance negatively. No statistically significant sex differences were found in both math anxiety and math test performance. No statistically significant year level differences were found in math anxiety. Year-level differences were found to be statistically significant in math test performance. Year level math test performance means showed a decreasing pattern from first year to third year but the means went up in the third year. Tukeys HSD showed that significant differences were coming from the differences in the means of the first and second year levels and the first and third year levels.

    Effect of positive mood on the children's impression-formation judgement
    Agrazada, Divine Grace (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-04)
    The study was conducted to determine if positive mood enables children to form positive judgments rather than negative judgments. The study was based on a two—randomized group design. Experimental group was induced in a positive mood and the control group was manipulated with a neutral mood. Neutral mood was also induced to a group of participants to provide a control condition for aid in interpretation of the results. The researcher induced mood through film showing. This method appeared to be the most suitable mood—manipulation technique in the present circumstances. With children , In particular as subjects, videotaped films represent a most suitable and familiar medium for influencing mood. After mood manipulation was completed, the subjects were shown pictures of different persons. These persons served as stimulus characters. Each of the stimulus characters was rated on a IO—centimeter scale as being more closely related to one or the other pair of opposite traits. Thus, participants were asked to write a small vertical line on the 10—centimeter scale to indicate their rating. Results did not show enough evidence for the researcher to conclude that a significant difference in impression—formation judgment will come differentially from positive mood and neutral mood. Based on the findings, children with positive mood and neutral mood both have positive judgments rather than negative judgments. Therefore the researcher concludes that transient mood has no pronounced effect on impression—formation judgment on this study .
