Chapter IV

The document presents the demographic profile of 248 respondents, primarily focusing on late adolescents and emerging adults, with 75% being 17 years old. It also highlights a slight predominance of female participants (53%) over male participants (47%), which is typical in social science surveys. Additionally, the study examines the respondents' daily allowance, revealing that the majority receive ₱100 or ₱150, indicating varying financial support among participants.

CHAPTER IV

Results and Discussion

Part 1: Demographic Profile of Respondents


Table 1: Profile of Respondents in terms of Age

Age Group Frequency (f) Percentage (%)

16 years old 4 2%

17 years old 186 75%

Others (18 above) 58 23%

Total 248 100%

This table 1, we see that most of the people responding to this survey were late

adolescent and emerging adults. The largest data set is the 17 years-old age group, making up

75% of the total number of participants (n=248 participants). The next largest group is the 18

years-old and above age group, with approximately 23% of the total number of participants,

and the smallest group is the 16 years-old age group, making up only 2% of the total. The

high number of respondents is in the 17 years-old range. Thus, this research is primarily

focused on "Generation Z" (young adults ages 15-29) during their transition from high school

to secondary education to early adulthood.

According to Pew Research Center (2023), persons in this age range exhibit a high

level of digital literacy and have distinct social media consumption patterns. Consequently,

limiting the participants to such a narrow group allows for the exploration of only the patterns

and behaviors described above, without the effect of older generations on their patterns.
Table 2: Profile of Respondents in terms of Sex

Sex Frequency (f) Percentage (%)

Male 117 47%

Female 131 53%

Total 248 100%

Table 2 provides data on the respondents' sex in this study. There were 248

participants in total. The sample included a larger proportion of female participants (53%)

with 131 total female participants than male participants (47%) with 117 male participants.

The sample is roughly evenly distributed with an additional 6% of the sample being made up

of female participants; this is typical in the social sciences where females typically respond at

slightly higher rates than males when using survey methodologies (Smith, 2021) for

collecting data.

The study may be affected due to the slight predominance of female respondents, as

research indicates that sex can be a key reason for differences in behavioral/perceptual data.

Maintaining a nearly equal number of male and female responses increases the external

validity of this research by allowing for more generalizable outcomes across the entire

population of both sexes; therefore, there is also sufficient sample size (over 100 for each

group) to have statistically powerful samples ensuring both males and females' perspectives

are adequately represented in this research (Doe, 2023).

Allowance Level (PHP) Frequency (f) Percentage (%)

₱100 46 19%

₱150 38 15%

₱200 27 11%

Others 8 3%

Total 248 100%
