Abstract

This study seeks to determine the significant Emotional Effects of the absence of Paternal Guidance in Encountering Heterosexual Amorous Adversities among the students of Bestlink College of the Philippines during the school year 2021–2022. The study focused on answering the following questions: (1) What are the respondents’ demographic profiles regarding age and sex? (2) What are the emotional effects among young Filipino adults experiencing an absence of paternal guidance? (3) How does the absence of one’s paternal guidance affect Romantic relationships and Considerations in choosing a partner? (4) Is there a significant emotional effect of the absence of paternal guidance in encountering amorous adversities in young Filipino adults?

Fifty (50) students were selected to participate in the study using snowball sampling. The study utilizes a quasi-experimental research design to determine the cause-effect relationship between the two variables. It can be used when an experiment is not ethically or practically feasible and can work with smaller sample sizes than randomized trials. Here, having a control group was not required.

Due to the pandemic, the data gathering was executed through an online platform using a 4-point Likert scale: Strongly Agree, Agree, Strong Disagree, Strong Disagree. The collected data was analyzed using percentages and a weighted mean.  Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was also used to analyze the data. This research paper proved the importance of the father’s guidance towards young Filipino adults who encountered heterosexual amorous adversities.
