A Study on the Attitudes of a Selected Group of Filipino Adolescents on their Perceived Gender Roles Janda, Christine M. The study aimed to obtain the attitudes of a selected group of Filipino adolescents as regards to their perceived gender roles. One hundred respondents from U.P. Manila--50 females as well as males--were selected by purposive sampling to participate in the research. A questionnaire was used to get their answers. Data indicate that males and females alike generally perceived traditional feminine and masculine traits as belonging to either genders. Traditional roles in the contexts of love and sex, dating and courtship, and marriage are sometimes supported by the adolescents but in some cases are not. Tasks and behaviors traditionally ascribed to males and to females are viewed by the majority of the adolescents as not affecting femininity/masculinity concepts with the exception of a few tasks and behaviors. Results also show that there is a difference on how females and males perceived certain things pertaining to gender roles. At various points, the two genders differed in opinions and attitudes.

Gender Fears: A Comparison of the Anxieties of Males and Females of the University of the Philippines - Manila Lawenko, Ruby Anne R. This study aimed to identify the fears and its attributions common among males and among females of the University of the Philippines-Manila as a means of determining whether sex-role stereotypes are still tightly stitched into the Filipino society. An open-ended questionnaire designed by the researcher was utilized and distributed by key informers to the 250 respondents, equally divided into 125 males and 125 females. Furthermore, 10 males and 10 females were selected to participate in the interview to supplement certain data. The results of the survey showed differences in fears among males and females. The study showed that the fears most frequently mentioned by female respondents were: Loneliness; Failure; Rejection or Being Unwanted; One’s Own Death of Suffering; Helplessness; and, Scary or Frightening Sights. Their fears manifested a concern towards affective relationships, social approval and the learned fears from prescriptive beliefs. The fears most frequently reported by the male and respondents were: Inadequacy, Rejection; One’s Own Death or Suffering; Expressing One’s Self; Getting a Girl Pregnant; and, Victimization. They have indicated apprehension and concern towards personal achievements and the development of their “machismo” personality. The circumstance of gender fears may be attributed to: 1) the gender role stress; 2) the violation of socially defined gender roles; and, 3) the occurrence of the self-fulfilling prophecy. By uncovering the fears common among males and females, one can determine that sex-role stereotypes or characteristics viewed as typical of males or females are still stitched into the design of a certain culture such as that of the Filipino society.

A Comparative Study of Factors Leading to Watching Violent and Non-Violent Cartoon Programs Among Pre-School Children Jamandron, Gwen V. One activity that children enjoy doing is watching television, especially cartoon shows that are made especially for them. These shows contain moral values and educational insights that can be beneficial for the children. However, we cannot deny that there are some cartoon programs that contain aggressive acts that can somehow affect the child negatively. In short, what these programs exhibit can and will influence the child's behavioral and cognitive development. This study, tackled not only the positive and negative effects of cartoon programs on children but focused more on how socio-demographic factors, level of intelligence, personality type, presence of siblings and parental supervision can influence pre-school children in watching violent and/or non-violent type of cartoon shows. Survey questionnaires and interviews were conducted with one hundred eighty male and female pre-school children of Twinkle Toes Pre-school in Project 2, Quezon City using non-purposive type of sampling. Some parents were also asked about the positive and negative effects of cartoons to the young televiewers and their awareness on the presence of violence on television cartoons. The findings show that the respondents watch violent type of cartoon show for two hours everyday. They like to watch cartoons because it possess beautiful pictures, colors and cartoon characters. It was also reported that many of them watch alone and others with the company of their siblings. Most often, those with company watch cartoons selected by an older sibling. On the part of the parents, they think that cartoons are a source of entertainment but it is also a venue for violence which in turn will not be beneficial with their children. With the presence of violent acts on television shows, they think that proper discipline should be imposed when watching. Age and personality turned out to be the significant factors that could be associated with the type of cartoons watched.
