    Some psychosocial factors in adolescents' acceptance of sexual myths
    Agrasada, Frotzi Ann B.; Sagge, Stacey Marie N. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study investigated the relationships of psychosocial factors namely: family openness in communication, religiosity, attitude towards sex, and sexuality education with adolescents’ acceptance of sexual myths. One hundred (100) first year college students composed of 50 males and 50 females from a public school completed a series of survey instruments designed to measure the variables under investigation. Design of the study was correlational. To show relationships between variables, data were analyzed using the Pearson r correlational statistic. Statistical analyses showed support for the relationship between religiosity and acceptance of sexual myths, that is, the higher the religiosity, the more is acceptance of sexual myths. The study also found support for the relationship between attitude towards sex and acceptance of sexual myths, that is, the more conservative is attitude towards sex the more is acceptance of sexual myths. However this result was obtained for male respondents only. The expected relationships for acceptance of sexual myths and the other variables were not supported in this study.

    The relationship of communication styles employed by the College of Arts and Sciences faculty members to their ratings in the student-faculty evaluation
    Abalayan, Chris C.; Bachoco, Anecita C.; Hosillos, Rojun V. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-04)
    The study in the effectivity of communication styles used by any individual in different situations has been a subject of many researches. This research would like to find out the relationship of communication styles employed by the College of Arts and Sciences faculty members to their ratings in the student-faculty evaluation. These further aims to know the type of communication styles most of the faculty members of the CAS used in their teachings. Also, the study hopes to determine the preferred communication styles of the students for their teachers and determine what communication style has the highest and/or lowest rating in each of the four criteria in the student-faculty evaluation. A Communication Style Inventory devised by Allan rowe, et. al, 1988 and the Student-Faculty Evaluation used by the whole UP system were the instruments used in the study. The study was conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences, first semester and second semester of Academic Year 1995-1996. Twenty-three faculty members of the Division of Humanities and Division of Social Sciences teaching General Education (G.E.) subjects and students who belongs to the class were randomly chosen as respondents. Findings showed that a consultative communication style dominates majority of the faculty members. However, using the Categorical Method (CATMOD) in solving the data, results of the study showed no significant relationship between communication styles used by the faculty members of the CAS to their ratings in the student-faculty evaluation.
