ITS EFFECT TO THE BEHAVIOR OF

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN
OLO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
 INTRODUCTION
Problematic household is an issue where a family is having complications
such as arguments, parent’s separation, and other’s. Having these kind of
matter causes the child to behave unpleasantly.

According to Sandip S Jogland and JD Naik, 2014, The behavior

problems are having major impact on a person bodily and social
development. The family provides emotional support to an individual as well
as plays a major role in the formation of one’s personality. The quality and
nature of parental nurturance that the child receives will profoundly influence
his future development. The knowledge of these family factor’s associated
with behavior problems may be helpful to identify at risk children.
 The behavior of a child is variable and depends on biological, social and
environmental factors. In learning to adjust to the world in which child is
growing up, he or she develops certain kinds of behavior which are annoying
or embarrassing to adults which whom he or she comes in contact. Adult’s
frequently label such as behaviors as a problem behaviors.

major role in the formation of one’s personality. The quality and nature of the
parental nurturance that the child receives will profoundly influence his
future development. But only few homes provide the right type of
environment to the growing child. Numerous studies have shown that

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

FOREIGN LITERATURE
According to Conley Laura (2014), student with emotional and behavioral disorders
or (EBD) are less successful in school than their peers. Research identified six
components of EBD such as unsuccessful peer relationship antisocial behavior l,
internalizing behavior, aggression, academic problems, and attention problems. These
components were compared were compared to the survey responses of B2
elementary school teachers. About problem behavior they observe in their classrooms.
Overall, teacher and research perceptions of behavioral difficulties were similar. Two
additional categories were identified in the analysis disrespect and hyperactivity
suggesting additional area’s in which the educator researcher partnership could be
strengthened.
 According to Johnson, (2020) students from divorce families have problems affecting
their academic performance, self-confidence, and behaviors. One main factor that affects
how well or how badly students react to the trauma of separation.

Based on the study of Lonozo, et al.(2021) Most of the students from broken families are
greatly challenged by financial, emotional, mental, social, and behavioral problems that
contribute to their poor academic performance. Most of the students that have divorced
(separated) parents are inattentive and limited. They rarely provide time, care, and
financial support for student’s daily needs and academic fees. Students from broken
families cope with being independent and optimistic in their situation. Students from
broken families gain positive experiences despite the traumatic family background,
especially personal growth and building stronger relationships.
 According to Anderson’s (2014) study, there was a higher percentage of children living
in a separated family or with a divorced parent who has the likelihood to live at a lower
poverty level. This claim was reinforced by the students’ answers regarding the difficulties
in supplying daily needs and expenses. The respondents have experienced dealing with
the thought that there were various necessities they wished to have but struggled to
afford them. The inadequacy of financial resources and materials has led to the poor
performance of the students. It was the sudden financial insufficiency that the
broken family brought to the lives of students who had made them suffer from keeping
up with their classmates fully equipped at school and performing at their best. According
to the Magazine Desk’s (2018) statement, the issues of separation among families have
left the students the emotional burden and, at the same time, the lack of opportunity to
study well at school. Additionally, when children at school learn about the separation of a
student’s family, bullies can criticize them. Bullies thrive on publicity and the response
they get from other students Aunindita,(2016).
LOCAL LITERATURE
According to Pocsidio, Renzo, et Al (2021) Externalizing behavior’s and family
influence on Filipino urban adolescent studied bandura’s social learning theory
perspective on how parental influence predict Filipino adolescent’s externalizing
behavior. Children are impressionable. They observe their parents as role models; their
behavior develops from childhood to adolescent is dependent on parental influence.
With this in mind, the study research objectives aim to understand how parental
influence, such as abusive and antisocial behavior, affect the adolescent enternalizing
behavior and the level of externalizing behaviors among Filipino adolescents living in
Metro Manila, Philippines. The researchers surveyed 202 characteristics, perceived
abusive and antisocial behavior of parents, and self-assessed level of externalizing
behaviors. The data gathered was processed through descriptive and inferential
statistics, and the results concluded that family influence does have significance in the
adolescents externalizing behavior. In conclusion through the social learning theory and
the data collected, the adolescent’s externalizing behavior are due to family influence.
 According to Javier, Joyce R., et al (2014) Filipinos are large, yet invisible minority at
high risk for adolescent behavioral health problems. Limited research describes the family
as offering a source of positive of support for some Filipino youth and yet for some it is
also source of stress and isolation, leading to struggles with adolescent depression and
suicidal behavior. This article describes a qualitative study that investigates the role of
family when understanding behavioral health needs among Filipino adolescents. Finding
highlight the importance of addressing family cohesion when designing interventions
aimed at improving the well-being of Filipino youth.
 Among Filipino adolescents l, the family is the major agent of socialization Medina
(2001) as it shapes the adolescent’s personality, values and attitudes Gastardo-Conaco,
Jimenez & Billedo,( 2003); Natividad, Puyat, Page & Castro, (2004). The socialization of
gender roles and values remains traditional and family –oriented Cruz, Laguna &
Raymundo, (2002); Liwag, Dela Cruz & Makapagal, (2001). Children are raised
differently within the family; sons and daughters are assigned different roles and carry
out our different parental expectations. For example, daughters assist their mothers in
household chores and in carrying for their younger siblings, whereas sons are expected
to help out in task’s that require physical strength such as farming, or carrying heavy
buckets of water into the house Liwag, Dela Cruz & Makapagal, (2001).

SYNTHESIZATION
The foreign and local literature discuss the impact of broken families on
children’s academic and behavioral outcomes. The foreign literature text
presents various studies that suggest that children from broken families have
lower academic performance, self-confidence, and higher rates of behavioral
problems, including drug and alcohol use, sexual activity, and bullying. The local
literature text discusses how parental influence, particularly abusive and
antisocial behavior, affects Filipino adolescents’ externalizing behavior, which is
linked to family stress and isolation, leading to adolescent depression and
suicidal behavior. However, both texts offer some positive effects of broken
families on children, such as growing empathy towards others and developing
coping mechanisms through therapies, challenging themselves to do their best,
and seeking support from peers and teachers.
 In this situation it can simply say that if a parent focusing on his/her child everyday it
can result a positive outcome such as in his/her behavior socializing with other people
and academic performances. On the other hand if a parent is not capable of doing
his/her best to make his/her child happy and comfortable in whatever he/she doing. It
can actually result a negative impact especially in their mental health, social and
emotional state of life which can negatively result a failing grades or not socializing and
participating in different school activities.

This paper critically reviewed the literature related to problematic household and
identified some of the most influential factors used in the field of information so systems
research. More specially, this paper had an insight on effects of Problematic Household.
Student variable’s such as behaviors and attitudes are important variable’s that are
affected in having household problems. Understanding these variable’s is helpful for
families to promote healthy relationship with each of the members of the family.
