    The different factors influencing the preferred sexual orientation of self-confessed gay men and lesbians in Iloilo
    Alcudia, Ina Adria A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This descriptive study aimed to identify the possible factors that may have been influencing homosexual orientation across age-groups. Specifically, it focused on three dimensions namely, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and sociocultural factors. There were a total of 20 respondents, 10 gay men and 10 lesbians who participated in the interview. The respondents completed standardized questionnaires on Parental Bonding and Locus of Control to determine quantitatively Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Factors. The findings suggest that respondents have early awareness of homosexual orientation and majority of them have internal locus of control. Most of the respondents confirmed the existence of homosexuality in their families and that the nature of parenting styles as perceived by the respondents differs between gays and lesbians. Lastly, educational institution, religion and media are not influencing factors for majority of the respondents.

    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.
