CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the reports of the study,

including the presentation of relevant quantitative data.

Findings were written up patterned after the descriptive

comparative research design. For a systematic presentation,

the sequence of the results was aligned after the statement

of the problem presented in Chapter 1.

1. Profile of the Community Residents

1.1 Respondents’ Age

Table 2a. Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the

Respondents as to Age

Age Frequency Percentage

Young Adults (18-35) 240 80.00
Middle Aged adults (36-55) 59 19.67
Older Adults (56 and above) 1 0.33
Total 299 100
Mean Age 29.76

The data above show that 240 or 80.00% of the

respondents are young adults while only 1 or 0.33% is an

older adult. It also shows that the respondents’ mean age is

29.76. It indicates that the majority of respondents were

young adults and that the mean age was relatively young.

This further means that the data gathered in the survey

conducted was based more on younger adults’ experiences,

opinions, and attitudes toward the MASA-MASID than older

adults.

1.2 Respondents’ Sex

Respondents as to Sex

Sex Frequency Percentage

Male 193 64.33
Female 107 35.67

Total 300 100.00

The table above shows that 193 or 64.33% of the

respondents are males while 107 or 35.67% of the respondents

are females. It points out that the majority of the data

gathered in this study was based more on the perspective of

males than females.

Elementary Graduate 15 5.00

High School Graduate 224 74.67

College Graduate 44 14.67

Graduate School Studies 17 5.67

Total 300 100

The results of the survey present that 224 or 74.92% of

the respondents were high school graduates while 15 or 5.02%

were elementary graduates. This indicates that all of the

respondents reported having a formal education. On the other

hand, it generally presents that the respondents have

relatively low levels of educational attainment.
