Item Buang, abno, kulang-kulang: Social representations of mental illnessCabrias, Xenia Monica B. (Department of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2019-06)Using the structural approach to the study of Social Representations, my research unraveled professional and lay understandings of mental illness. I also explored how social representations function as knowledge, orientation justification, and identity. I collected questionnaire data from 107 mental health service providers and 111 lay residents from four out of five districts of Iloilo province. Abric’s (2008) Hierarchical Evocation Method was used as methodological framework. My findings show that both groups align in their central understanding that mental illness is a neuropsychological disorder. My findings further suggest that both groups’ internal organization fuse into a global organization of meanings. Furthermore, both groups have a broader understanding that mental illness is both a societal and an individual affliction.Item Locus of control, resilience, and self-esteem of children of displaced workersBonilla, Krisna G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)Displacement from work has been considered to be influential not only to workers themselves but also to their families, especially their children. This study focused on three particular facets of personality of children of displaced workers: locus of control, resilience, and self-esteem which were examined using the CNSIE scale, Ego Resiliency Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and an interview schedule. The study included 37 respondents (14 males, 23 females) aged 14-21 years old, who were children of displaced workers from Palawan. Based on the data gathered, it was found that majority of the respondents had external locus of control, high resilience, and low self-esteem. It was further deduced that parents’ displacement from work has an influence among their children’s personality development.Item A comparative study of marital satisfaction, trust and intimacy among wives in long distance and geographically close relationshipsAurecencia, Lory Stel Z.; Lorenzo, Ma. Concepcion A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This study aims to know and compare the marital satisfaction, trust and intimacy of wives in long distance and geographically close relationships. Forty (40) wives of seafarers from Miagao, Iloilo were selected through referral sampling for the long distance relationship and 40 wives from Lapaz, Iloilo City were selected through convenience sampling for the geographically close relationship. Four (4) respondents were interviewed for each type of relationship. Four (4) instruments were utilized namely: Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale, Trust in Close Relationships Scale, Miller Social Intimacy Scale, and an interview guide developed by the researchers. Results showed that the respondents are generally satisfied, trusting, and are intimate with their partners. Wives in long distance and geographically close relationships do not significantly differ in marital satisfaction and trust but significantly differ in intimacy. Furthermore, distance does not significantly affect marital satisfaction and trust but there is a moderately negative correlation between distance and intimacy.Item Sexual self-scheme and sexual aggrression of male readers of Lad magazineAspero, Maris Pylene P.; Faramiran, Zyreen Lou B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-10)This study was conducted to find out the impact of reading lad magazines on the sexual self-schema and sexual aggression in men. One hundred men of fifty readers and fifty non-readers of lad magazines, from a male dominated institution, 18 to 30 years old served as participants of this study. A survey was conducted and four (4) instruments were used to measure the readership, sexual self-schema, and sexual aggression of men. The design of this study was correlational. To show the relationship between the variables, data were analyzed using the Pearson r correlational statistic. The results of this research show that readership of lad magazines is associated with high sexual self-schema in the study sample and the likelihood of being sexually aggressive in comparison to non-readers. Men learned information regarding sex through lad magazines. These magazines also present women in a sexually arousing manner through their pictures and articles. Men's lifestyle was also affected by their readership of lad magazines.Item Work-family conflict, stress, and satisfaction among married female public elementary teachersArsenio, John Clint C.; Supnet, J P.

In general, respondents have positive attitude towards their job, experience less marital distress and have high level of life satisfaction. Relationships between these studied variables were also examined
