    Multiple roles and stress among UPV administration married female employees
    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.

    Perceived body image of female college students
    Almonte, Darby April Gaye Q.; Tinsay, Shiela Mae B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    The study aims to describe the perceived body image of female college students. Specifically, it wants to find out the activities of female college students relative to their body image; their exposure to the mass media in terms of enhancing body image; and to find out the influence of mass media exposure to their perceived body image. The study was conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miag-ao, Iloilo. Sixty respondents were obtained from the population of Social Sciences students using the fishbowl method of simple random sampling. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale (Spainhour, 2000), together with a set of questions developed by the researchers, were used in gathering the data. Generally, the results showed that the female college students have a positive perception of their body image. Also, the female college students do not engage in any activity related to body image, such as dieting and exercising. Lastly, they are well exposed to the mass mediated messages about body image in the television and the magazine but they are not negatively influenced by those messages, that is, they neither compare their bodies with nor do they want to look like the models in television and magazine.
