Abstract

Introduction: Collaborative learning in academia is imperfect, as challenges such as uneven group participation may arise. Research on group work skills and social loafing in the academic context is also limited, particularly in higher education settings in the Philippines. The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between group work skills and antecedents of social loafing among Filipino undergraduate students in their collaborative academic pursuits. This study primarily investigated how the group work skills of individuals engaging in social loafing influence their behaviors and those of peers. Methods: Data were collected from 410 Filipino undergraduate students (n = 410) attending both public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in the National Capital Region (NCR). Participants willingly completed an online survey using Google Forms. Results: Using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the study identified a weak yet significant negative correlation between group work skills and social loafing antecedents (r(408) = -.26, p < .001). Conclusion: The paper offers valuable insights into the dynamics of social loafing and underscores the importance of teamwork in academic settings. It emphasizes the significance of adopting a comprehensive approach to enhance group performance, emphasizing personal accountability, fair task allocation, and cultivating a constructive and stimulating social environment.

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.
