(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)This study aimed to know if exposures to sexually violent films have effect toward judgments on domestic violence victim. The three hypotheses were: 1) There is a significant effect from gradual exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim ; 2) There is a significant effect from sudden exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim and 3) There is a significant effect from non-exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim . This study is experimental which made use of randomized group design or (between group design). The participants of this study were composed of thirty (30) students of UPV Miag-ao, enrolled in Psychology 101 during the second semester on Academic year 2002-2003. The participants were chosen using the random sampling. They were equally distributed to three (3) treatment groups (2 experimental and 1 control group) with ten (10) participants each group. This research project utilized Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, Acceptance of Interpersonal Violence Scale and Myth on Domestic Violence Scale to measure the judgments of participants toward domestic violence victims. Splices from three films (Friday the 13th Part II, American Psycho and I Spit on Your Grave) were also used. The result of the study F (2,29) = 3.35 p< .05 yielded that there is a significant effect of non-exposure to sexually violent films toward judgments on domestic violence victim.Item Married Roman Catholic women's attitude towards artificial birth controlBadayos, Mary Barby P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)The issue of population control, specifically, the use of artificial birth control methods, has triggered a lot of debate, particularly between the Filipino government and the Roman Catholic Church. It has also Inspired studies on Filipinos’ attitude towards birth control in general and artificial birth control methods in particular. Such studies have touched on the influence of religion, as well as other socio-economic factors, on respondents’ attitude towards artificial birth control. However, such studies have failed to look deeper into the actual predominance of the Roman Catholic doctrine on its faithful, which can be gleaned through the latter’s piety or adherence to their church’s teachings and practices. Furthermore, past studies on artificial birth control have not focused on women who are truly the ones concerned since population control is tantamount to curbing women’s fertility without regard to their right to make choices. With the aforementioned in mind, this study aimed to (1) find out the relationship between age and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control, (2) find out the relationship between level of education and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control, (3) find out the relationship between monthly family income and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control, (4) find out the relationship between level of piety and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control, (5) find out the relationship between level of acceptance of the notion of reproductive rights and married Roman Catholic women's attitude towards artificial birth control and (6) find out if married Roman Catholic women who actually practice artificial birth control experienced a dilemma over the Roman Catholic Church’s stand on the issue and how they dealt with such dilemma. A survey questionnaire which includes the piety scale, the attitude scale, questions on the acceptability of the notion of reproductive rights and questions on the dilemma they may have experienced on the use of artificial birth control, was administered to ninety-eight (98) married Roman Catholic women from Barangays Arguelles in Jaro, Divinagracia in La Paz and Infante in Molo, all in Iloilo City. This survey questionnaire was designed to elicit the respondents’ attitude towards artificial birth control vis-a-vis their age, level of education, monthly family income, level of piety and level of acceptance of the notion of reproductive rights. The said questionnaire also obtained how the respondents who actually use artificial birth control were able to overcome dilemma over their usage of such and their religion’s teaching on the issue. The results of the study show that using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, there is a relationship between level of piety and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control. There is also a relationship between level of acceptance of the notion of reproductive rights and the respondents’ attitude towards artificial birth control. However, there is no relationship between age, level of education, monthly family income and married Roman Catholic women’s attitude towards artificial birth control. The study further found out that majority (79) of the respondents actually use artificial birth control and that twenty-nine percent of them admitted to having experienced dilemma. These respondents indicated that praying for guidance and asking the opinion of other people like their doctor, relatives and close friends were instrumental to the overcoming of their dilemma.Item Types and severity of sexual harassment among female college students in a non-traditional degree programBacanto, Jay Ann B.; Quilantang, Ma. Ellaine N. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)This descriptive study aimed to find out the perception of female college students in a non- traditional degree towards the types and severity of sexual harassment. Fifty-four (54) female students, who were officially enrolled in the College of Criminology at the University of Iloilo for school year 2002-2003 during the second semester, participated in the research. Perception on sexual harassment was measured using a revised scale on the Perception of the types and severity of sexual harassment developed by Baker, Terpstra, and Larntz (1990). The scale has six scenarios reflecting the types and severity of sexual harassment, whereas females working in a male- dominated workplaces were being sexually harassed by male co-workers. The mean scores and standard deviations were utilized to interpret the data. The results of the study revealed that incidents having sexual coercion were perceived higher compared to other types of sexual harassment (x=1.17; s=3.66). Types of sexual harassment with an element of physical contact were perceived to be more sexually harassing (x=5.41; s=4.61).It further revealed that sexual harassment with physical contact were perceived most sexually harassing (x=2.43; s= 1.09).Item They called me a slut: The process of shaming and its influence on the self-concept and sexual reputation of teenage girlsBahinting, Grace Katrina F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)This phenomenological study explored women’s slut-shaming experiences in school, how they managed the ‘slut’ label and how the label influenced their selfconcept and sexual reputation. Three college students from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental were interviewed for this project. The participants aged 18-23 years have experienced slut-shaming incidents in school. The methodology for this study consisted of conducting in-depth interviews exploring the slut-shaming experiences of the participants and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale to measure the participants’ current self-esteem. The data gathered on the experiences encountered by slut-shamed girls were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using the Bedevilment and Labeling Process by John Curra (1994). The results of the study showed that factors which led to slut-shaming includes individual characteristics, flirting style and sexual activity. Two forms of slut-shaming experiences in school emerged from the data gathered: being gossiped and ostracism. Furthermore, the label management of the participants which includes embracing, ignoring and moving away from the label, were influenced by the degree of importance of the labellers and the girls' own perception of a slut. The data showed that the shamed individuals had positive and negative self-concept after shaming and was seen as someone who was sexually dirty. In conclusion, the influence of shaming to the girls’ self-concept varies depending on how the shamed individual manages the slut label.
