Abstract: Romantic relationship models have traditionally been developed from heterosexual samples, limiting their applicability to sexual minority couples, particularly within culturally conservative contexts. Guided by this gap, the present study explored the stages of romantic relationships among homosexual emerging adult couples. Using a transcendental phenomenological design, ten participants in homosexual relationships were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Guided by Moustakas’s (1994) framework, interviews were analyzed to identify essential themes and subthemes. Three stages of relationships emerged: (1) introduction stage, including meeting and decision-making as processes, (2) intimacy stage, encompassing the processes of commitment, challenges, and conflict resolution, and (3) planning for the future stage, involving the processes of union, adoption, and independent living. The findings extend existing relationship theories by demonstrating that while core relational processes remain present, homosexual couples experience unique developmental trajectories influenced by sociocultural constraints and minority stress. Recommendations include seminars by LGBTQIA+ organizations on coping strategies, gender-sensitivity training by government institutions, and information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on relationship development, based on the study's results, to guide the design of support for understanding, reflection, and relationship education for emerging LGBTQ+ adults. Future research should involve larger, more diverse samples and examine the effects of stress and specific gender identities on homosexual relationships.

Abstract: This study examined the employment status of the BS Psychology graduates' 2018- 2020. It determined graduates' personal and employment profiles, study conditions, and competency. The study used descriptive-survey research with an adapted questionnaire to collect data. Fifty-six BS Psychology graduates participated. Frequency, percentage, and mean analysis were used to statistically treat the data. Respondents are mostly females, single, and currently employed. Unemployed graduates are pursuing advanced studies. Lack of work experience, seeking a job abroad, lack of professional qualifications, poor starting wage, or being medical students were also reasons for their unemployment. Most respondents advocate altering the curriculum, syllabi, and class size to enhance Psychology graduates' competitiveness. Many previously employed respondents did not specify their roles. Many were DILG-Contact Tracer supervisors. Only 12.5% of the respondents had clerical experience. Half of respondents worked in private settings. 25% of them said their past jobs were related to their course. Many respondents said the pandemic affected their unemployment, while 5.4% mentioned contract ending, job hunting, and medical school. All respondents favor improving Psychology graduates' facilities and reviewing and amending curriculum and syllabi. Respondents strongly agreed that they had built significant relationships with other UNP students, that most of their courses were relevant, and that the faculty was competent and helpful. Positive professor-student interactions, qualified teachers, and a relevant curriculum are evident. On-campus extracurriculars and study groups were evaluated similarly. Overall, respondents regarded study conditions highly satisfactory, indicating a learning-friendly environment.

Abstract: With the new normal, individuals tend to struggle in tolerating frustrations. Frustration intolerance is the difficulty to overcome stressful situations which may lead to negative behaviors like aggressiveness, depression, and suicidal ideation. This study focused on the adolescents’ level of frustration intolerance, aggressive behavior, and suicidal ideation and how they vary in terms of family structure and locus of control; and the relationship between frustration intolerance and aggressive behavior and suicidal ideation. A quantitative method of analysis was employed. The sample were the 375 high school students of three state universities in Region 1. Results show that the respondents have an average level of frustration intolerance, and aggressive behavior, but a low level of suicidal ideation. A significant difference was found between the levels of aggressive behavior of respondents from the three categories of family structure regardless of the level of frustration intolerance. With suicidal ideation, only the level of frustration intolerance, regardless of family structure, is statistically significant. Locus of control and the level of frustration intolerance are significant factors in suicidal ideation. A significant difference was found between the suicidal ideation of respondents with external locus of control and respondents with internal locus of control; and of respondents with external locus of control and bi-local locus of control. There are significant relationships between frustration intolerance, aggressive behavior, and suicidal ideation.
