    Drivers' helping behavior towards pedestrians: The role of awareness, responsibility, and personal norms
    Alvero, Twinkle B.; Matondo, Jirah P. (Division of BSocial Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    The effects of individual's norms, consequences and responsibilities on helping behavior were tested using the Norm Activation Theory. A 2x2x2 within—subjects design utilizing the scenario based approach developed by Naumann (2004) was participated by twenty-five (n=25) company drivers, and the scores obtained were measured using Helping Attitude Scale (Nickell, 1998). Interviews were conducted to further understand and explain key information about participants. Results showed that positive personal norms and higher recognition of responsibility affected helping behavior but not awareness of consequences. However, no interaction effect was observed. Therefore, the study lends partial support to the theory. Implication points that companies and LTO must incorporate and promote personal norm enhancement and recognition of responsibility within their team building programs and trainings.

    The relationship of temperament, mindfulness attention and self-regulating behavior of on-line computer gamers in Iloilo City
    Acallar, Joseph Maynard C.; Ticao, Marnel G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-12)
    The study had 42 respondents, all of whom are online computer gamers aged 15 to 27 who play at least 20 hours a week. Three tests were administered among the participants, namely the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS), the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ), and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), to find out their Temperament type, their level of Self-Regulating behavior and their level of Mindfulness Attention. Results of the scores from the KTS show that online computer gamers are mostly Artisan type or can be classified as such (64.2%). A majority of low scores among the respondents in the SRQ show the respondents having low self-regulating behavior (54.8%). And the average mean scores (3.53) in the MAAS show that gamers have an average level of mindfulness attention. The correlation between Self-Regulation and Mindfulness Attention is 0.053; The correlation between Mindfulness Attention and Temperament is 0.076; And the correlation between Temperament and Mindfulness Attention is -0.168. The results show that all the variables are weakly correlated with each other.
