Abstract: This study is about "The Relationship Between Personality Type and Music Preference. Three variables were used; mainly personality type as the independent variable, music preference as the dependent variable, and peer influence being the extraneous variable. Personality type is classified into introvert and extrovert, while music preference is classified into soft and loud. The null hypothesis states that there is no significant difference between introverts and extroverts in terms of music preference. The alternative hypothesis, on the other hand, states that there is a significant difference between introverts and extroverts m terms of music preference. The research design used is descriptive. The study population is composed of all fourth year Behavioral Studies majors with student numbers beginning in ninety four (94), enrolled during the second semester 1997-1998. Using chi square, results showed that forty five percent (45%) are introverts and fifty five percent (55%) are extroverts. Among the introverts, sixty seven percent (67%) preferred soft music and thirty three percent (33%) preferred loud music. Among the extroverts, seventy three percent (73%) preferred loud music and twenty seven percent (27%) preferred soft music. Among the introverts, twenty eight percent (28%) are susceptible to peer influence and seventy two percent (72%) are not. Among the extroverts, forty five percent (45%) are susceptible to peer influence and fifty five percent (55%) are not. With the chi square obtained value of 6.22 greater than the chi square critical value of 3.841 (at level of significance equal to 0.05), the following conclusions are made: 1. extroverts outnumber introverts in the study population; 2. there is a significant difference between introverts and extroverts in terms of music preference; and 3. introverts and extroverts are both independent of peer influence. 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/3793 Title: Padesal in the Life of Two Communities Authors: Salentes, Rowena Abigail L. 2000-04-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/3782 Title: The Bureau of Quarantine Service 1899-1935 Authors: Santos, Reynaldo D.

USA Authors: Santos, Julius M. Abstract: The study entitled "Propensity to Survive: A Case Study on the Migration, Adaptation and the Survival of Filipino-Americans in Santa Clara County, CA. USA" was conducted in order to ascertain Filipino-Americans struggle in attaining a stable life in the United States. In addition, it seeks to determine the different facets of Filipino-Americans' life in Santa Clara County to gain a clearer understanding of the things that made them migrate, their capability of adapting to the American society and their chances of survival in the United States. In the conduct of the study, the researcher employed a combination of descriptive and ethnographic research design. In the descriptive/quantitative design, survey forms were given away to selected respondents via "snow ball method." Other respondents were also interviewed using a tape recorder or was recorded on a sheet of paper. Meanwhile, the ethnographic/qualitative design involved the conduct of immersion in different families in the counties. Observations and experiences were recorded on a journal on a daily basis. All the data were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that Filipino's Migration in the United States is brought about by two factors that create a push and pull effect to Filipinos that are leaving the country and towards the United States: The country's lack of employment opportunities and the perception that the United States is the hope in attaining a better life and a venue where families can reunite with their love ones. The country's lack of employment is mirrored in the low incidence of Filipino respondents who were employed in the Philippines prior to their migration. Meanwhile, their multicultural orientation and grasp of the English language enable them to adapt in their host country easily. Establishing a stable life in Santa Clara is determine by the sufficiency of their income in relation to their level of spending. Santa Clara respondents have a very good chance of establishing a stable life in the County as evidenced by the low incidence of poverty among them compared to the national and state level of poverty incidence. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z
