Abstract

Research shows that hooking up is now part of college life, as young adulthood is where individuals explore. However, most studies tackling hookup culture are Western-centered. This research aims to study hookup culture in Manila universities, describe their possible consequences, determine perceptions, motivations, and affective responses of students who engage in hookups, and provide measures for safe sexual practices. Through narrative research, three males and three females, who were at least 18 years old, Manila college students, and experienced the culture, were interviewed. Narratives’ analysis found that students share a common understanding of what a hookup is, factors why they engage in hookup culture were determined, and they experienced emotional ambivalence following a hookup. It is recommended to provide comprehensive sexuality education, safe spaces for students to have open discussions, and competent mental health providers. Future research is needed to address the impacts of technology in spreading hookup culture.

Abstract

This quantitative correlational study examined the relationship between various dimensions of socioeconomic status (SES) and academic anxiety among 330 Filipino college students in Metro Manila, Phillipines. Data were collected through online surveys utilizing two adapted instruments: a 10-item Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire and an 11-item Academic Anxiety Scale. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to assess the associations and predictive strength of SES indicators—such as parental education and occupation, family income, family size, gender, and age—on academic anxiety. Results revealed that higher paternal education and office-type paternal occupations were significantly associated with increased academic anxiety, while lower paternal education and manual labor occupations were associated with reduced anxiety. Family income exceeding ?20,001 was positively correlated with anxiety, possibly due to increased academic expectations. Regression analysis showed that paternal education, paternal occupation, family size, and student age collectively explained 19.9% of the variance in academic anxiety. These findings highlight the nuanced effects of SES, particularly paternal factors, on students' psychological stress. The study underscores the importance of culturally responsive support strategies such as parental education workshops, financial literacy training, and targeted anxiety interventions for students. Future research should consider longitudinal and qualitative methods to explore the underlying cultural mechanisms and long-term outcomes.

Abstract

For some, schools are more than just places to learn. They serve as sanctuaries for students. Recent reports indicate a troubling rise in suicide rates among Filipino students, requiring urgent attention. Despite implemented solutions, new challenges continue to emerge, calling for ongoing work. Hence, this study explored the practical interventions and counseling techniques of four registered guidance counselors and one guidance associate in handling cases of suicidal behavior among high school students, the factors influencing the selection and application of these interventions and techniques, and the process of assessing the effectiveness of interventions in addressing suicidal behavior using data from semi-structured interviews analyzed through Giorgi and colleagues’ descriptive phenomenological analysis (2017). Key interventions include integrating various counseling techniques, tailoring individualized support strategies to students’ unique needs, and implementing structured referral systems that encourage collaboration with parents and other relevant stakeholders. The results provide important insights into the strategies utilized by school personnel to address suicidal behavior among students. These outcomes underscore the need for ongoing refinement in addressing mental health concerns, highlighting the importance of a collaborative and adaptive approach to ensure student well-being.
