Overall Weighted Mean 3.70

Table 14 its shows above the Academic Performance of the Respondents. Five (5) out of

ten (10) questions were interpreted as high extent: the highest weighted mean was the students

are ready all by their self in any subject with the mean of 4.59; Second question that have an

highest weighted mean (4.44) are Students are always want to have a good grades every subject,

Third question that have also highest weighted mean (4.08) are the Students are active in school.

Fourth Question that have a highest mean are (4.05) are every students are getting a passing

grades, the last highest mean (4) are that every students are participating in class.

The other four (4) were interpreted as the moderate extent, exerting effort on difficult

activities (3.88); actively participate in every discussion (3.61), Gaining focus after seeing some

technical problems (3.55), and Academic performance and Health behavior (3). Only one

question was interpreted as great extent: getting failing grade (2.05).

On the First question they are ask if the stated Health related Behavior affecting their

Academic Performance, they responses are sometimes (28) this kind of health related behavior

( Alcoholism and Poor Dietary Habits) are affecting their academic performance, while the other

choose as Always, Often and Rarely this Health Related Behavior affecting their Academic
Performance. And ten (10) remaining responses choose that this kind of health behavior is never

affects their academic performance.

The computed Overall weighted mean of 3.72 were verbally interpreted by the

respondent as high extent as to Academic Performance.

PEARSON r -0.41986

CORRELATION (LOW NEGATIVE CORRELATION )

r = -0.41986 (Low Negative Correlation)

The collected data shows that the given Health Related Behavior and the Academic

Performance of the respondents have 0.41986, which gives a result of low negative correlation.

This means that the two variables have an inversely relationship, which means the one variable

increased while the other variable are decreased and vice versa, this relationship may or may not

represent causation between the two variables, but it does describe an observable pattern.

A negative correlation can be contrasted with a positive correlation, which occurs when

two variables tend to move in tandem. The health related behaviors given are poor dietary habits
and alcoholism has a 1.74 overall weighted mean, and on the other hand, academic performance

has an 3.72 overall weighted mean.
