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.Item Age and sex of Miagao public market vendors as determining factors in role preferences on women as portrayed in comic booksAlvarez, Lee T.; Cababa-an, Glenn C.; Diaz, Gladys C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)This research is about age and sex as determining factors in role preferences of the respondents on women as portrayed in comic books. The researchers have chosen the market vendors of Miagao as respondents in this particular study for the reason that most market vendors, if not all, do read comic books. The researchers were able to gather a total of seventy [70] respondents. Of the seventy [70] respondents, thirty-two [32] or forty-six percent [46%] are males and thirty-eight [38] or fifty-four percent [54%] are females. In this study, it was found out that most of the respondents read comic books with the love theme and only a few read comic books having mixed themes. The researchers have also discovered that both the male and female respondents agree that women in most cases were presented in a more conservative rather than in the liberal light. Chi-square statistical tool with .05 level of significance was used and it resulted to the finding that there is no significant relationship between the age, the sex and the preference of the respondents with regards to the roles of women a® portrayed in our local comic books.Item Portrayals of women and feminist issues on feminist -themed Filipino movies: A content analysisAlba, Phoebe Ann A.; Basa, Cyprian Jade L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)This descriptive study analyzed two feminist-themed movies in the Philippines in terms of their portrayals of women and issues concerning women. Specifically, this study sought to examine how women were portrayed in the selected movies using (1) characterlevel analysis, which included observation of personal characteristics, appearances, and gender roles portrayed by the female characters); and, (2) scene-level analysis, which identified issues of sexualization, subordination, underrepresentation, violence, and acts of empowerment. This study also explored how these portrayals of women and feminist issues relate to the social realities of the films’ milieu. The findings revealed that there were some disparities between Sister Stella L. and Crying Ladies in terms of their portrayal of female characters, most notably in personal appearances and clothing. There were significant presentations of issues concerning women such as sexualization, underrepresentation, subordination, and violence. Female characters in both films were observed to have participated in traditional gender roles as well as in community politics and productive roles. These participation of women in non-traditional feminine roles in the films confirmed that female characters are empowered specifically in welfare, access, conscientization, participation, and control.Item Personal meanings, experiences, and coping strategies for poverty of women 4P's beneficiariesAcuesta, Princes B. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)This is a phenomenological study which sought to describe the experiences of poverty of women Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries, their personal understanding of poverty, how their membership in 4Ps has affected their experiences of poverty, and their strategies for coping with difficulties associated with poverty. The participants of this study were four women 4Ps beneficiaries residing in Bay-bay Sur, Miagao, Iloilo.
