    Autentico, Sheila M.; Cagalagawan, Aiza Maris G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)
    The study identified the different factors affecting fertility choice of married couples in Oton, Iloilo. There were 100 participants from the three barangays in Oton. Iloilo namely: Trapiche, Poblacion South, and Buray. The dependent variable is measured by the actual number of living children the married couples have. The independent variables were classified into four categories: economic factors, biological factors, psychological factors, and geographical factors. The multivariate analysis revealed that the significant variables found to significantly affect the decision on the number of children by married couples (at 5% level of significance) are gross monthly income of the household, years of formal education of the wife, age of wife at first marriage, ideal number of children by the couple and perception of children to be of help in old age. However, the R-squared value of 30.78 indicates that there are still some factors that were not included in the model. Nevertheless, the significant variables had the expected signs.

    Artuz, Raje Paul F.; Revesencio, Nina I. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    The study sought to identify, determine and describe the distinct Decision-Making orientations of the potential Tagasalo, the Motivation that influences their dispositions, and their Life Aspirations. Twenty four (24) participants aged 18-22 years old who belonged to the College of Arts and Sciences were purposively selected from the dormitories of the University of the Philippines Visayas, Miagao campus, Iloilo. Questionnaires were given to the participants in order to study the variables under investigation. Interviews were also conducted to yield more relevant information that the questionnaire cannot cover. Results show that potential Tagasalos have relied most of their decisions on their families’ current economic state. Also, personal decisions were still anchored on family followed by their will and choice respectively. More so, most of the participants were intrinsically motivated and affected by family roles and values, which in turn influence their life aspirations. Findings show that indeed, aspirations of potential Tagasalos were intrinsic in nature and viewed to be more attainable compared to that of extrinsic aspirations
