why research?: attributional (subjective) bias

'people are more easily swayed by a single, vivid story [amygdala] than by a large body of statistical evidence [hippocampus]' (Plous 1993, pp. 123-124, as cited inhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristics_in_judgment_and_decision-making) [parenthetical remark mine].

ex: tornado, terrorism, suicide, stroke, lottery (one winner vs millions who did not; thus, the appeal to it)

B.    Results

1.   1.Support System

>”… when confronted with financial or other family problems, the family would rely on the relatives or the neighbors for assistance.” (p. 38)

>”For instance, an unwed pregnant woman finds support in her family when they accept the child born out of wedlock as part of the family.” (p. 38)

>”Neighbors become an extension of the family and are expected to provide social support.” (p. 38)

-- Example: neighbors are asked to informally look after the children when not around (“silipin” or to “take a peek”), neighbors immediately report child’s misdemeanour to parents

>Citation: “The Filipino is clannish and expects to be morally, socially, and financially supported in many ways by his immediate as well as extended family. Thus, the family becomes the REFUGE and SHELTER of a person at good and bad times” [Jocano, L. (1998). Filipino social organization, traditional kinship and family organization. Manila: Punlad Research House, p. 63.]

>Related Study: “In the Go study (1995) [Go. S. (1993). The Filipino family in the eighties. Manila: Social Development Research Center, De La Salle University – Manila], urban poor mothers said they usually ask help from a great number of people such as their siblings, friends, relatives, employer, in-laws, co-workers, owners of small-variety stores, and members of the community organizations as part of the INFORMAL SYSTEM. They also seek help from nuns, the police, government authroties (for [pp 38/39] issues concerning demotions), health center, and other FORMAL SYSTMES like, TV show personalities like “Mel and Jay,” “TV Patrol,” and “Kapwa ko Mahal ko”.

   “Based on Go’s study, seventy-five percent (75%) of the URBAN POOR mothers stated that they were satisfied with the support system provided by the informal and formal systems, twenty-five percent were not satisfied” (p. 39).

 

2.    2.Religion and Faith

>…the phrase ‘nasa Diyos and awa, nasa tao ang gawa” (God is merciful, but man must do his part) was a common response used by the parents, giving the impression that resorting to religion and faith is how they cope in times of difficulty or during crisis situations. In fact, PRAYING has often been resorted to whenever they are in trouble. “Magdasal sa Dios pag may problema” (pray to God when there is a problem). Perhaps as a Christian nation, praying is PART OF THE FILIPINO PSYCHE since we have been taught to perceive God as merciful. But this behaviour of turning to prayers and God is more apparent … during times of distress” (p. 39).

 

3.    3.Humor

>”… the sense of humor of the participants was [pp. 30/40] evident, becoming an INTEGRAL PART of their storytelling, laughing at the problems they shared as wife and mother, and diffusing the seriousness of the discussion.” (pp. 39-40)

>Citation: “Humor as a way of coping has also been observed among Filipinos.” (paraphrased form: The Committee Report: Building a People, Building a Nation: A Moral Recovery Program. In Acuňa, J., Rodriguez, R., & Pilar, N (Eds.). Readings in human behaviour in organization. Quezon City: Diwata Printing.)

Abstract

TITLE                                     : Comparative Study between the Customized and

  For Improving the Organizational Performance of

  Selected SME in Valenzuela City (August 2018[d16] )

 

RESEARCHER                       : [NAME/S OF STUDENT/S[d17] ]

ADVISER                               : [NAME OF ADVISER[d18] ]

SCHOOL                                : De La Salle Araneta University

DEGREE CONFERRED        : [Degree Conferred]

 

The abstract should not exceed 250[d19]  words, written in one paragraph. The thesis / dissertation title should be in upper and lower case with a period at the end. The graduation month and year will be in parentheses. Your name and your adviser’s name are in all capital letters. The school’s name is in upper and lower case letters. Place Dr. (or Mr./Ms. if adviser does not have a doctoral degree) before the adviser’s name. The text of the Abstract starts two double spaces below the preliminary lines. The text of the Abstract is double-spaced according to the spacing style of the text of the thesis / dissertation. Follow the same margin settings as your narrative text, as well as the same alignment (justified). Your Abstract must be a “complete snapshot” of your manuscript. Paragraph one introduces your specific problem and the methods used. The remaining paragraphs present the research and results in detail. Text of the Abstract must not exceed 2 pages (this does not include preliminary lines). Any term (or numeral) with a space on either side is counted as one word.

[Use this as a guide in creating headings in the text]

Heading 1[d20] 

Heading 2[d21] 

Heading[d22]  3.Indent the first line of every paragraph.The manuscript is double-spaced for readability. There is no need for extra spaces between headings and body text. To avoid extra spacing, check that the spacing between paragraphs is set to 0 pt. To do this, on the Home tab, under Paragraph, click Line Spacing, and then click Line Spacing Options. Under Spacing, in the Before or After boxes, enter 0 pt.

Heading[d23]  4. Align the text to the justified margin.

Heading 5. Now I will introduce a block quotation.

For a block quotation, indent the entire paragraph one half inch. Double space between body text and the block quotation as well as between lines in the block quotation. Use the same size typeface for the rest of the paper. Don’t forget to cite the source of your quotation (Source, year, page number)
