Abstract

This paper examined the correlation between multiple screen addiction and impulsive buying habit among young adults in Lemery, Batangas. With a descriptive-correlational design, 400 respondents aged 19-40 years were surveyed by use of Multiple Screen Addiction Scale (MSAS) and Buying Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). Findings indicated that a significant number of respondents had high scores of various screen addiction, especially in the areas of excessive screen time as well as compulsive digital behavior. Conversely, the majority of the respondents showed low to very low scores in impulsive buying behavior with none of them falling in the high and very high categories. Statistical results revealed that multiple screen addiction was moderately, positively and significantly correlated with impulsive buying behavior ( r = 0.387, p <.001), indicating that the higher level of screen addiction was, the more impulsive purchase decisions one had. These results implied that even though screen addiction was very common, not everyone would translate to high impulsive buying but it makes one more prone to it. To this end, the study offers community-based solutions like barangay digital detox programs, smart spending, and mentorship programs to ensure digital wellness and financial self-regulation. This research provided localized information on the multifaceted relationship between the utilization of technology and consumer behavior, and the importance of specific interventions to promote the establishment of healthier digital and financial practices in young adults.

Abstract

This qualitative research paper will examine the experiences of incarcerated mothers in the Philippines, including their emotional hardships, how they manage such stressors, and their ways to live resilient lives. The study, based on semi-structured, in-depth questionnaires and a tool, thematic analysis, shows that maternal guilt, societal stigma, and institutional injustices enhance the impact of incarceration trauma, whereas faith, peer networks, and routines contribute to hope and self-development. The most significant results point to the two-fold concern of internalized shame and external constraints as the factors including limited family visitations, absence of post-release work, and shelter insecurity, which sustain marginalization cycles. The narratives of the participants highlight the potential of the transformative nature of the trauma-informed interventions and the prosocial conduct which redefines the guilt as agency and solidarity. Nonetheless, punitive policies and cultural stigma continue to pose a big hurdle in the reintegration process. The research proposes whole system changes, such as wider vocational training and family-based policies, in which maternal health takes precedence. This study can be applied to restorative justice systems capable of healing the soul and repairing the system by putting the voices of incarcerated others into the forefront, which in turn provides practical information to policy makers, correctional facilities, and community activists.

Abstract

This study explored the lived experiences of the working middle-aged autistic persons, who live in the province of Batangas, Philippines. A qualitative research design was implemented, targeting five respondents aged 35-60 years old, formally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and have 6 months working experience and basic literacy. Purposive and snowball sampling was used. From the data gathered from semi-structured, in-depth interviews, five main themes were developed. These include: (1) Navigating the work place, (2) Social connections and support, (3) Navigating Emotional Terrain in the Workplace, (4) Resilience Drivers in the Workplace, and (5) Growth and self- development. The themes reflected the challenges of participants in their ability to adapt to organizational routines, build interpersonal relationships, and self-regulate emotions as well as the interactions of personal strengths and external support systems that promoted resilience and development. Repeatedly, participants emphasized the importance of support from family members, co-worker and supervisory personnel when dealing with day-to-day problems. Notwithstanding recurring adversities, the participants demonstrated a great sense of pride, belonging and a constant drive to self-development. This study underlined a need for more inclusive and flexible workplaces that were aware of the needs of people with ASD. Creating supportive environments can help neurodiverse employees thrive and reach their full potential.
