Psychological Association of the Philippines, Inc. (PAP) ~ FRAMING CLIMATE CHANGE FOR GLOBAL ~MENTAL HEALTH [email protected] www.papcon.pap.phABOUT PAP The Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP), founded in 1962, is committed to promoting excellence in psychology’s teaching, research, and Practice and its recognition as a scientifically oriented discipline for human and social development. The PAP is the Accredited Integrated Professional Organization (IPO) for registered psychometricians and psychologists of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). It is the oldest and largest professional organization of psychologists in the country. The organization certifies specialists in seven (7) areas of expertise within the broad discipline of psychology. Concurrently, it also has seven major divisions representing each of these specialty areas, which are as follows: Assessment Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Educational _ Psychology, industrial-Organizational Psychology, and Social Psychology. Apart from these divisions, members also take part in the ten (10) special interest groups (SIGs), namely, Teaching Psychology SIG, Mental Health and Psychosocial Services (MHPSS) SIG, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Psychology SIG, Sport and Exercise Psychology SIG, Substance Use, Prevention, and Recovery SIG, Psychology Practitioners in Public Service SIG, Environmental Psychology SIG, Positive Psychology SIG, Research in Psychology, and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Psychology SIG. To date, PAP also has expanded itself to serve its members better by organizing six (6) regional chapters: Bicol, Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Calabarzon- Mimaropa, Davao, and United Arab Emirates.On November 11, 1962, a small group of psychologists gathered at Selecta Restaurant along CM. Recto Avenue for what would later be considered one of the most defining moments in Philippine Psychology. They came from different institutions, drawn to that single place by a common purpose. From the University of the Philippines (UP) came the chairperson of the country's first Department of Psychology, Dr. Agustin Alonzo. Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J. founder of the Department of Psychology and the Central Guidance Bureau of the Ateneo de Manila University, was also present. With them were Dr. Sinforoso Padilla, who established the Psychological Clinic at UP, and Dr. Jesus Perpihan, who founded the Psychological clinic at Far Eastern University. Dr. Mariano Obias was also present at the historic meeting presided over by Dr. Alfredo Lagmay of UP, which saw the birth of the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP). Two months later, the PAP ushered in the New Year by electing its first set of officers. It was on January 1, 1963 when Dr. Sinforoso Padilla became the Association's first President, Dr. Alfredo Lagmay the first President-elect. Fr. Jaime Bulatao SJ, the first Executive Secretary, and Dr. Estafania Aldaha-Lim the first Treasurer, Atty. Narciso Albarracin, who helped the group with their incorporation papers, was sworn in as the Legal Counsel of the Association. The first plenary meeting was held on March 30, 1963 at the Ateneo de Manila University in Padre Faura. Dr. Sinforoso Padilla delivered the presidential address. After that, the group held monthly meetings and plenaries where scientific research studies were presented. In January 1964, the first annual convention was held at the NSDB Science Pavilion on the corner of Taft Avenue and Herran (now Pedro Gil) Manila. The high point of the convention was a Symposium on the Filipino Personality which was later published as @ book and remains one of the classics in Philippine Psychology.PAPCON 2022 ABOUT PAPCON The S8th Annual Convention (Online) provides us the venue for an open discourse on the theme through the messages of our guest speakers, learning sessions, and research paper presentations, including the outlining of activities and plans of the different Specialty Divisions (SDs) and Special Interest Group (SIGs) of the Psychological Association of the Philippines.

Super Typhoon Yolanda alone killed approximately 7,000 lives in 2013 with at least 80,000 people suffering mental health problems needing medical attention based on WHO Philippines, making it one of the deadliest in history. The country responded by adopted a national policy to address the adverse effect of climate change and mental health with the passing of the Climate Change Act of 2009 and the Mental Health Act in 2017. Climate Change adaptation policies may benefit from scientific discourse on the mental health risks of a changing climate. Healthcare providers can use this information to support individuals and communities to more effectively manage mental health issues associated with climate variability and change. Preservation of our environment through governmental policies at the local and national levels is critical to maintaining mental health, especially in communities overburdened by pollution and poverty. Environmental psychology _research emphasizes the mental health benefits of contact with nature, lowering stress levels, and acting as a buffer in distressing situations, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, elderly, and socioeconomically disadvantaged. Children with green areas in and near their hornes experienced less psychological distress in response to stressful life events. Psychologists, psychometricians, and other mental health professionals can help vulnerable communities through empirical analysis and intervention study, to promote mental health being made climate change resilient,Framing, eel Climate Change for Global Mental alth September 22-24, 2022 CONVENTION COMMITTEES CONVENTION CHAIR Dr. Carlos N.

Climate change is the reason behind these natural calamities that beset us. As a reality, we must be propelled to act boldly and firmly and to get on our feet ahead of future possibilities, so we can contribute to some mitigating initiatives that will address climate change impacts and aftermaths Science tells us that a sound mind rests in a good body. In like manner, we can claim that a sound mind and body relax in a proper environment. This premise makes our convention theme, “Framing Climate Change for Global Mental Health,” very timely. As practitioners in the field of mental health preservation, we need to acknowledge and accept our role in helping mitigate climate change. We cannot just focus solely on preparing our responses to the impact of calamities on global mental health and leave the groundwork for climate change mitigation to other professionals specializing in this field. We must contribute to preventing environmental degradation and introduce initiatives as one significant association vis-a-vis our capacities and capabilities. What can we do together along this very pressing global phenomenon? At the June 2022 International Summit on Psychology and Global Health: Leadership for Emerging Challenges held at Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia, South America, the Global Psychology Alliance (GPA) reiterated the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal No.13, which calls us to “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impact.” Aligning ourselves to this call of duty as a member association of the GPA, we acknowledge our leaders’ emphases in the said resolution that: “Psychological science and psychologists can (I) address climate change through research and psychological interventions to ameliorate harms to mental health and build resilience; (2) encourage environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviors and pro-social and pro-health behaviors; and (3) offer support to climate refugees.” Time is of the essence. We must act now and forge ties to preserve our natural environment. ‘As mental health professionals, let us foster a proactive and deliberate effort to engage our respective students, our communities, and our scope of presence in understanding the need to take extra care of our natural environment for our mental health preservation. Let us, please, take an active role in our S8th Convention as it calls all of us to partake in those mentioned above, We acknowledge with deep gratitude the efforts of our PAP Board of Directors and Staff in bringing to fruition our plans for our S8th Convention with the theme: “Framing Climate Change for Global Mental Health.” In this event, let us put forth our arms and move proactively for our 60th Anniversary in November. God bless us all, PresidentMESSAGE FROM THE 58TH PAPCON OVERALL-CHAIR AND CO-CHAIRS Carlos N. Buan, PhD Convention Chair ‘Ann Maribel M. Hapin, RPsy Pricila Buzon-Marzan, PhD Co-Chair Co-Chair Dear PAP Colleagues and Friends, We warmly welcome you all to the 58th Annual Convention of the Psychological Association of the Philippines with the theme, “Framing Climate Change for Global Mental Health” which will be held from September 22 to 24, 2022. Our virtual convention invites an open discourse on climate change and mental health as the Philippines adopted a national policy to address the adverse effect of climate change and mental health with the passing of the Climate Change Act of 2009 and the Mental Health Act in 2017. Rightfully, Filipinos declared their love for the environment in the Supreme Court cases of Oposa ~ a group of children promoting the right to a balanced and healthful ecology - and the Resident Marine Mammals, recognizing the legal standing of toothed whales, dolphins, porpoises, and other cetacean species. The Philippines is a beautiful country and has a bright and tropical climate which is why foreign nationals choose the country for a refreshing vacation; even our fellow Filipinos explore more of what the Philippines has to offer whenever they feel stressed out from work, school, and life in general. They search for a safe place to recharge their mental health, so they opt to travel to different parts of the country. While the Philippines has a season of bright and warm summers, we also experience monsoons and even have strong and destructive typhoons visiting us which candisrupt some people's livelihood, and even their homes. In the past couple of years, we have also experienced earthquakes with high magnitudes and a few volcanoes showing some activities after a long time of slumber; some would even say that they are reminiscent of the 1991 eruption of Pinatubo and for those who experienced the event first hand would recall and be reminded of it which is a factor of stress for them. Being an advocate of Mental Health and Climate Change, the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) develops evidence-based programs that promote mental health to serve the affected communities from natural calamities. In addition, PAP is an active partner of the Philippine Council for Mental Health and Global Psychology Alliance. Armantetfr Ann MaribelAd.

However, the issue of climate change is a global challenge that affects us all including them. This symposium includes three recent research works that explored if sports people are concerned about climate change? ‘The Impact of the 174 Hectare Development Project in Dumaguete City as Perceived by Sport Participants Valbuena, M.D, Siliman University ‘A short online survey was done to explore on the position of sport participants on the proposed 174 hectare development project along Dumaguete City’s coastline. Twenty-four responded. They were aged 20 to 57 years old. Fifty-four percent were female/woman, 37.5% were male/man and 8.3% preferred not to say. Majority of them finished school from Silliman University, while the rest from Foundation University, St. Paul University, Negros Oriental State University and University of the Philippines. They Participated in dragonboat, triathlon, swimming, mountain biking, running and archery. Thirty-seven percent were amateur athletes while 33.3% were recreational athletes, 16.7% were professional athletes and 12.5% were novice/beginner athletes. When asked about the advantages of the project, they indicated it was good for economic development. The rest said there was none. Destruction of Dumaguete’s marine ecosystem tops the list of disadvantages reported by the participants which, they said, spirals into the loss of livelihood for fisher folks. Most of the participants reported that as an individual, their stand on the project will have little or no influence in the implementation or non-implementation of it, although a few hoped that they will encourage others to take the same position because there is power in numbers Authors: Valbuena, M.D. Climate Change: Knowledge, Feelings and Behaviors of DLSU Student-Athletes Cenarosa, 1. De La Salie University This study aimed to explore the topic of climate change and what knowledge, feelings and behaviors student athletes in De La Salle University have about this global issue. An online survey was circulated via this year’s current team captains and co-captains. The respondents represented a variety of varsity sports such as Ee eM a0 eo es eee ee players took part in the study. Analysis of responses indicated that student-athletes all have a wor! knowledge of climate change. However, the responses varied in term of breadth and depth. A majority ‘expressed negative emotions in relation to the issue. Feelings like sadness, fear, uneasiness, disappointment and anxiety were some of the reported answers. Players were also divided in awareness and actions about climate change. A number had behavior and/or activities that would contribute to mitigating the effects of the sue, while the others stated that they did not do anything in this regard. Authors: Cenarosa, J.L. Sports Advocacy Initiatives on Climate Change Orbeta, N.S. De La Salle University Information gleaned from a survey of 86 student-athletes of De la Salle University showed mixed responses regarding concrete action plans and initiatives as it related to tackling the global issue of climate change. There were individually stated actions such as recycling, lessening and segregation of waste, joining tree- planting, choosing to bike or walk, conserving energy and taking public transportation. However, the student- athletes also had differing views on the what sports in general was doing to address climate change. A majority stated that sports was not doing anything or enough to combat climate change. A number viewed sports as a potential platform for raising awareness and initiatives to combat the issue. The implications for future education campaigns and the creation of potential climate change sport advocacy initiatives are discussed. An example of this is 2 potential “UAAP Cares" program, similar to that of the National Basketball Association (NBA Cares). In a discussion with a UAAP board member, he stated that these programs have been brought up but not yet pushed forward especially because of the ongoing pandemic.

Discourses Surrounding Perceptions on the LGBTQIA* Community and Same-Sex Marriage in the Philippines Delos Santos, 33. |. Ateneo de Manila University ‘The current study explored the discourses that surround the LGBTQIA+ community and same-sex marriage in the Philippines. It aimed to investigate how these discourses position sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals. This study used a mixed methods approach to analyze Facebook comments on posts about the LGBTQIA+ community and same-sex marriage from various news outlets. Storylines were constructed using top words and top texts from the Latent Dirichlet allocation model evaluation, and were further analyzed using a critical discursive psychology lens. Results show that perceptions of the LGBTQIA+ community and same-sex marriage are anchored to heterosexist, legal, and religious discourses that position SGM individuals and the LGBTQIA+ community negatively.

Sexual Minority Discrimination, Psychological Distress and Coping Responses of LGBT Persons Deprived of Liberty Yukdawan, A. ‘Southville International Schools and Colleges: "Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) have been known to experience challenges and negative mental health symptoms during incarceration due to their sexual minority status. This study examined the relationship between sexual minority discrimination and psychological distress as correlates to coping responses of LGBT PDLs. Seventyeight (78) LGBT PDLs from selected Metro Manila City Jails were tested using the Everyday Discrimination Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, and Coping Strategy Indicator as well as a written interview. Findings include respondents having few experiences of sexual minority discrimination and few general distress symptoms. Additionally, they moderately utilize problem-solving, seeking social support, and avoidance as coping responses. A significant relationship was found between sexual minority discrimination and psychological distress, and psychological distress and avoidance coping of respondents. Meanwhile, a significant difference was found for the respondent's detention period and offense committed. LGBT PDLs are recommended to seek affirmative counselling and strengthen friendships with PDLs who are accepting of their sexual minority status.” Authors: Yukdawan, A. indi ka tunay na babae 'no?": Trans and gender non-conforming Filipino youths’ experiences of stigma and ways of coping Torre, B. UP Diliman. Past research has shown evidence for the pervasiveness of stigma and discrimination among Filipino transgender individuals (Rainbow Rights, 2014; Silan, Rivera, Chulipa, 2016). The present study uses data gathered from online focus group discussions to explore lived experiences of stigma among transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) youth in urban and rural areas in the Philippines, as well as their strategies for coping with various forms of stigma. Using analytic perspectives informed by minority stress theory and intersectionality theory, we examined the various forms of stigma experienced by TGNC youth. in different contexts including their families, schools, and public spaces, their perceptions of situations and spaces in which they are at greater risk for stigma, and the ways in which they sought to cope with experiences of stigma. Our findings highlight key themes in the discussions, including unique forms of stigma experiences by gender non-conforming youth, attempts to prevent transitioning as a form of stigma, and challenges in seeking trans-affirmative support from mental health professionals. Based on our findings, we discuss recommendations for addressing the forms of stigma that Filipino TGNC youth face, including opportunities for promoting TGNC-inclusive mental health support.

Ateneo de Manila University The study evaluates the effectiveness of a brief online parenting training for service providers in various regions of the Philippines to equip them in facilitating the MaPa Program in their local communities. Assessment adapted Kirkpatrick's (1994) evaluation model: (1) reactions of participants, (2) learning of participants, and (3) an exploration of changes in caregiving outcomes. Results obtained from attendees of the first (N = 3,476) and second session (N = 1,837) pointed to positive reactions towards the training. Post-training quizzes pointed to relatively high levels of learning, especially for topics focused on child and parental well-being, establishing household rules and routines, and resolving problems as a family. An exploratory analysis of behavioral outcomes from a select sample of caregivers (N = 54) showed an increase in emotional abuse from baseline to 3-month follow-up and decreases in parenting stress and parental depression from baseline to 6-month follow-up. No significant changes were seen for physical abuse, attitudes supporting corporal punishment, and positive parenting. Findings provide preliminary evidence on the possibilities and benefits of brief online training programs, as well as areas for improvement in terms of program delivery and further research. ‘Authors: Reyes, D.

Evaluation of the eFDS-MaPa Implementation: Perspectives of Facilitators and 4Ps Beneficiaries Reyes, J.C. ‘Ateneo de Manila University and PLH Philippines In this paper, we describe communi ice providers’ and 4Ps beneficiaries’ quantitative and quali evaluations of the six MaPa modules that were integrated to the e-Family Development Sessions. Evaluations by community service providers (N = 689 to 2,561) were conducted after module delivery while evaluations by 4Ps beneficiaries (N = 51) were conducted after receipt of modules. The majority of ‘community service providers reported that eFDS-MaPa modules were comprehensible, useful, relevant and appealing to the recipients. The majority of 4Ps beneficiaries in the sample likewise rated the eFDS-MaPa modules as highly accessibie, comprehensible, relevant, and helpful. Despite the high ratings, accessibility and comprehensibility has consistently been rated lower among the criteria. The qualitative evaluations of the module elaborate on these issues, particularly in terms of the language used in the modules and the inadequate digital infrastructure. Our findings can inform the way program delivery and facilitator support could be improved in order to reach geographical disadvantaged, low-resource families. Authors: Reyes, J. C., Reyes, D. R.

Making Sense of the One-one-One Time Module of eFDS-MaPa: 4Ps Families’ Perspective Javier, T. ‘Ateneo de Manila University/ University of the Philippines Diliman Approximately 4 million 4Ps families received e-Family Development Sessions (eFDS) 16, the module on ‘One-on-One Time, in September 2022. We analyzed beneficiaries’ social media comments on eFDS 16 to surface storylines of their talk. Using 2,616 Facebook comments on One-on-One Time that were harvested from the official page of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, we ran word cloud analysis to glean the most important words at the center of beneficiaries’ talk. Following a sequential mixed-methods procedure, we then analyzed the data corpus using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to surface how the participants made sense of the One-on-One Time module. Four topics were extracted: 1) one-on-one time {aS an opportunity to provide guidance 2) one-on-one time for family connection and communication 3) one- fon-one time's benefit to parents and to children, and 4) one-on-one time provided a space to learn more about and do things with the child.

Examining Changes in Well-Being and Parenting Behaviors of Conditional Cash Transfer Beneficiaries Receiving e-Family Development Sessions Jocson, RM. National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University This study examined changes in well-being and parenting behaviors over a 4-month period reported by a select sample of 4Ps beneficiaries receiving eFDS-MaPa. Participants included N = 51 primary caregivers with 2 child aged 4-17 recruited from four regions In the Philippines. Participants answered self- administered online surveys on child maltreatment, parenting, and well-being every month from January to April 2022. Repeated measures analyses showed a significant decrease in emotional abuse from the first to the third month and a significant decrease in depression from the first month to all succeeding months. No significant changes across time were found for physical abuse, positive parenting, and parenting stress. The ndings provide initial evidence of improvement in well-being and limited evidence of reduction in chil maltreatment among beneficiaries receiving eFDS-MaPa. We discuss the implications of the findings regarding the scaling of MaPa programs and suggest further research on the feasibility and effectiveness of MaPa across different delivery formats.

Tian-Ng, R.G. ‘Ateneo Bulatao Center for Psychological Services ature on depression has revealed a variety of psychological frameworks and approaches. This study explores how integrating the narrative approach transactional analysis may show therapeutic potential, and be meaningful and promising. Narrative therapy is an approach that empowers clients when they can rewrite their life stories. Transactional Analysis invites the client to observe verbal and nonverbal behavior, communication, and interactions as transactions manifesting the ego states of parent, adult, and child. Integrating the two approaches allowed the practitioner to assist in the case of a male client in his early 40s experiencing depression. Prior to therapy, the client lived his identity story from childhood to his adult years with the problem story of the inner wounded child. In therapeutic sessions, the client externalized the child’s inner experiences and “blueprints” that he grew up with as his dominant story. The client as an expert saw the multi-facets in the multi-stories of his life and "began to heal when he saw the wounds”, The case study in the presentation will enrich the integration of the two approaches. ‘Authors: Rizason Go Tian-Ng When professional identity and trauma intersect: Dialogical Self Theory as a framework of understanding and intervention Fernandez, KT. Ateneo de Manila University; Ateneo Bulatao Center for Psychological Services Working with clients with trauma symptomatology is very challenging. They are coping with symptoms of avoidance, intrusion, and hypervigilance, and are prone to depressive and anxious symptomatology, among many other issues. While a typical, protective response to trauma is to run away from any and all stimuli related to the cause of the trauma, the challenge for therapeutic intervention becomes more complex if the source of the trauma is related to the professional identity of the client. In other words, what happens when the trauma and sense of self are interconnected? How do we help a client who's sense of self and mission are related to the very trauma context they have experienced? The goal of this study is to discuss the complication of treating posttraumatic stress disorder when it is intertwined with professional identity and discuss how Dialogical Self Theory might be helpful in framing and intervention, ‘Authors: Karina Therese G.

Villasanta DISASTER AND RESILIENCY In the Wake of the 2019 Cotabato Earthquakes: Survivor-Evacuees Mental Health as a Correlate of the Living and Health Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic Balungay, MAT De La Salle University - Manila This study is contextualized in the overlapping traumatic experiences of earthquake survivor-evacuees: destructive earthquakes in 2019, permanent evacuation, and prolonged stay in evacuation camps where material provisions are dire. The survivor-evacuees' semi-permanent stay in evacuation camps has become more challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates whether the effects of the COVID-19 impact (employment, reduced access to essential needs, illness) predict mental health over and above what is predicted by posttraumatic stress and growth, perceived as consequences of the earthquakes and evacuation. Residents of llomavis, Kidapawan City, Cotabato (n=121) participated in the survey interviews. Majority are women (79.3%) and belong to the Manobo tribe (90%). Hierarchical regression analysis shows that posttraumatic stress and growth account for 32% of the variance in mental health, with stress and growth having significant negative and positive coefficients, respectively. The COVID-19 impact predicts a significant additional 3% of the variance in mental health over and above what stress and growth already predict (negative coefficient). These results indicate both the pervasive effects on mental health of. posttraumatic stress and growth due to the earthquakes and evacuation and the aggravating effects of the Pandemic.

University of the East Children are a vulnerable population that may considerably be affected by the typhoon, or heavy monsoon rain. The research is multiple case studies, qualitative in approach conducted on 26 children with manifested resilience, who are living in the flood-prone barangays located in Marikina, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City. This is grounded on the experiences, protective factors that were expressed during the adversity, and the resiliency process of children living in flood-prone communities. The interviews conducted, coded, and analyzed, field notes, archival records, and validation interviews that were considered in the final analysis of the results have elucidated ‘that the children had experienced the adversity of evacuation, had responded to it using their protective factors, found meaning in the experiences, which helped modify the effects of the adversity by being empowered to move on and by developing some resiliency attributes. This is the process the children with manifested resiliency have undergone. Conclusions and recommendations in the study further expound on the nature of resilience, the importance of coming up with a contextually and culturally sound intervention program. ‘Authors: Urrea, Ma.

PSYCHOLOGY IN EDUCATION The Relationship of Perfectionism and Peace of Mind: The Mediating Role of Implicit Theories of Intelligence Montano, R.L.T. De La Salle University Perfectionism is a multidimensional trait that has been associated with psychological distress and reduced well-being. The maladaptive Evaluation Concerns (EC) dimension has been consistently linked to maladjustment while the adaptive Positive Strivings (PS) dimension has been occasionally associated with better functioning. The present study examined how the two dimensions are related to peace of mind (PoM) or the state of peace and harmony. The current research also investigated the mediating function of. Implicit theories of intelligence. It was hypothesized that entity theory would mediate the relationship of EC and PoM. On the other hand, it was expected that incremental theory would mediate the effect of PS on PoM. A total of 451 Filipino undergraduate students took part in the present study. The results revealed that EC predicted entity theory, but the latter was not significantly related to PoM. Conversely, PS. predicted higher incremental beliefs which, in turn, positively predicted PoM. This indicates that EC Perfectionists are more inclined to believe that their intelligence is fixed but their entity beliefs are not necessarily detrimental to their PoM. In contrast, PS perfectionists are more likely to experience greater PoM because they believe in the malleability of their abilities, Authors: Montano, R.L. T. Pakikipagkapwa: Pathways in Developing Civic Engagement Among Student Leaders Baga, PCN, Saint Louis College The realm of academe has a vital role in civic engagement development among student leaders. The study aimed to analyze the perceived routes and attributes in developing civic engagement among nine farmer college student leaders from a CICM school recruited using purposive sampling. The study employed qualitative research using phenomenological design. Online photo-elicitation interview with auto-driving. was the main data measure, Participants were asked to take photos that best capture the pathways in molding civic engagement. Framework analysis and triangulation were employed for analysis and validation. Pathways are inculcation of values, spirited involvement in extra-curricular activities, ‘embarking with a sense of purpose, character and interpersonal skills building, and rooted in chosen discipline or course. Moreover, the facilitative attributes are authentic social interest, pivotal core values, experiential learning space, and supportive academic ecosystem. The pakikipagkapwa and civic engagement shared a common ground that the community is hindi ibang tao. Consequently, the synergy between routes and characteristics of the school mold civic engagement among the participants. It is suggested to strengthen its leadership training by including necessary characteristics or traits related to civie-mindedness and interpersonal skills. ‘Authors: Merza, C. A., Baga, P.

University of the Philippines Diliman, University of the Philippines Manila Handum, a UP Diliman research project funded by the Department of Science and Technology, developed a mobile game that teaches topics from the Grade 4 and Grade 8 DepEd Prevention of Disease and Disorders Curriculum, The development of the mobile game incorporated principles of motivation in game design. To test its effectiveness, the mobile game was used by Grade 4 students of UPIS during their regular Health classes in mid-2022. A standard pre-test and post-test were given before and after discussing the targeted health topics. The experimental group's performance, who had access to the mobile game as they learned their lessons, was compared to the control group, who only had access to teacher-facilitated online classes. Results showed that for Grade 4 students there was no significant difference in learning between participants in the experimental and control group. However, there was an overall within subjects improvement in pretest scores in comparison to posttest scores across both groups.

WELL-BEING AT WORK Virtual Big Brother: An Exploratory Study of the Consequences of Micromanagement while Working from Home Deen, CM. RMIT University, Australia Micromanagement is ubiquitous in organizations and its negative reputation Is undeniable. Surprisingly. academics have not shared this interest resulting in deficient understanding of micromanagement marred by disjointed definitions and paradoxical views. As part of a larger research program on micromanagement from an organizational behavior perspective, this paper focused on micromanagement while working from home (WFH). An online survey was used to collect critical incidents of micromanagement among Filipino employees during the pandemic (July 30 to October 10, 2020, n=31). Applying the steps of grounded theory, results confirmed extant conceptualizations about the core attributes (i.e., controlling, close monitoring, detail focus) and key features of micromanagement (i.e., sustained, excessive, unnecessary). Uniquely, this study uncovered how micromanagement was enacted in the WFH context (e.g., controlling WFH environment, online work monitoring, online spot checking, work review). Furthermore, results showed that micromanaged workers reported a slew of detrimental consequences on their performance, work attitudes, and work relationships even while WFH. Participants also perceived negative impacts on their personal life (e.g., work-life imbalance) and overall mental health (e.g., esteem issues, negative affect, demotivation) Implications and future directions for scholarship about micromanagement in the changing work environment is offered.

Gray Matters Psychological and Consultancy Inc, The study examines resilience and locus of control as predictors of both psychological and subjective well- being among working-age adults during the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper employed a combination of descriptive and predictive research designs to test the hypothesized model linking locus of control resilience, subjective well-being, and psychological well- being. A total of 140 convenience samples participated in the study with equal and balance presentation in terms of gender. Multiple regression, Pearson Correlation and T-Test were the statistical tests used for the analyses. Males have significantly higher levels of well-being (both psychological and subjective), and resilience. Middle-aged working have significantly greater levels of psychological well-being resilience, and internal locus of control. On average, working adults’ well-being were significantly greater in the subjective well-being domain and. their internal locus of control significantly predicts both psychological and subjective well-being. The results of the study call out for researchers and policy makers to understand the drivers of well-being among adults so that policies and intervention plans can be better informed and guided about what to target in order to promote it.

Using Dialogical Self Theory (DST) by Hermans (2001), we explore the agentic process of negotiation within the self and how transgender men negotiate the field of tension between the internal I-position of being a man and society's imposed external I-position of being, forced to be a woman. Using a multi-case study approach, in-depth interviews with five Filipino self identifying transgender men were conducted, The negotiations between I-positions were analyzed using. the Analysis of Multivoicedness by Aveling, Gillespie, and Cornish (2015). Key patterns of negotiating tension among transgender men were resisting heteronormativity characterized by an identity crisis; performing femininity as protection against rejection, discrimination, and danger; and the claiming (and reclaiming) of the authentic self with transgender and queer communities. Implications of DST and a logical approach to agency, dialogical psychotherapy, and dialogical parenting are discussed. Authors: Borres, M., & Ofreneo, M. A. P.

Balensoy, TC. University of the Philippines Visayas - Miag-20 Queerness branches through a vast field of disciplines, urging scholarly interest towards questions regarding the peculiar and confusing experiences an individual acquires when occupying a particular space as well as the actions they do in a space. Utilizing Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology (2006) as theoretical anchor, this study explored queer lived experiences through the experiences of disorientation and the queering actions of queer Filipino teachers; specifically, the mechanisms, the experiences, and the outcomes as queer Filipino teachers become challenged by the normativity of distance education, and how. they addressed the challenges they experienced from the disorientation. Through interviews with eight (8) self-identified queer High School teachers from the provinces of Antique and Capiz, this study identified that in the context of distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, queer Filipino teachers experience disorientation through the challenges brought about by norms in the learning setup. As they reflect on their disorienting experiences, the queer Filipino teacher recognizes a need to change their perspective and pedagogies to orient themselves in the space of distance education. This leads them to enact queering actions through a pedagogical performance of going beyond what are obligated and expected of them, as informed by their identities. ‘Authors: Balensoy III, Timoteo C. & Farinas, ML D.

Examining the Work-life Balance of Married and Single Employees during the COVID-19 Crisis, De La Paz, ES. Ateneo de Manila University Work-life balance (WLB) has been a topic of interest during the COVID-19 pandemic changes in work arrangements and employee contexts. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in employees’ WLB one year into the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine factors that contribute to the increase or decrease in WLB among married and single employees. Paired t-tests were conducted to explore changes in WLB. Topic modelling through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was then utilized to determine what contributed to changes in WLB among single and married groups. Eight topics emerged, with 5 of these explaining decreases in WLB and 3 topics explaining increases in WLB. Decreases in WLB were related to experiences of stress, limitation of social interactions, working hours and urgent communications among single employees; and technology for married employees. Increases in WLB were related to catching rest for single employees; and travel time and presence with family for married employees. These findings suggest different WLB experiences based on employee marital status. It highlights the need for organizations to understand their workforce’s demographics and each groups’ needs and challenges in order for relevant and appropriate policies and systems to be implemented during. the pandemic.

Qualitative data gathering was done primarily from their self-written stories, in the course of narrative therapy. Interviews were also a source of data. The thematic focus of the study was how the experience of traumatic stress, uniquely characterized by the perception of social dystopia, led to individuals resorting to new personal coping strategies. This research first attempted to identify and define what made their experience of stress traumatic, their reactions to the said experiences, and then then how their resulting coping strategies were developed. These new coping strategies are analyzed through the healing and growth framework of Inner Blossoming, specifically how their coping process manifested Presence, Openness, Awareness, Acceptance, Understanding, Freedom, and Choice.

Finding Light Amidst the Darkness in the Time of a Pandemic Tang, JMC. Office of the Solicitor General ‘The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were pervasive. People had to make changes to cope and adapt. One of the changes introduced was the sudden shift to an online set-up. This entailed learning how to navigate through life using online modalities and ensure that work and school outputs are met, relationships are maintained, and physical and mental well-being are taken care of. Lifestyle changes also happened. At the height of the pandemic and “living” online, most people were negatively impacted. A lot of adjustments were made, uncertainties faced, numerous circumstances beyond one’s control, and different levels of stress, anxiety, and fear were experienced each day. While most started out this way, some rose above the cumstances, found meaning in the difficulties they faced, began to make peace with the feelings and the voices within and found alternative ways of living and growing. This is where post traumatic growth comes in, where life events, such as trauma, highly stressful life events, and crises, facilitates “positive psychological change”. Some learned to adapt, rewrote the narratives in their hands, explored possi and became strong and more creative versions of themselves. Authors: Tang, J.M.C.
