Methodology
This chapter presents the description of the research design and why such method is best
suited for the study. It also contains detailed information on how the research were conducted,
how the data were gathered, the setting off the study, the research instruments that were used,
sampling procedures and the statistical treatment of data to be utilized in this study.
Research Design
This study used descriptive research method to describe the relationship of a father and a
daughter and the desirable and undesirable that that are being perceive by both side. Tarlac State
University Graduate school (2002) handbook states that in descriptive research, variables are
studied as they exist in their setting. The purpose of the descriptive studies is to observe, describe
and document aspects of the situation. According to Tan (2006) descriptive design answers
questions and satisfies curiosity about certain phenomenon at the time of the study. Dizon (2002)
states that descriptive study is focused on the present condition-what is. It is the gathering data
from present of existing conditions.
Research Locale and Respondents of the Study
The respondents of this study are 30 fathers and 30 daughters. The respondents were chosen
through purposive sampling technique. The research locale of the study will be conducting in the
entire Province of Tarlac.
The answers were compiled and organized based on the findings of data that were tabulated for
their easy interpretation and presentation.
Data Processing Analysis
The researchers employed simple statistical treatment to be able to compute and tabulate the
result of data that are gathered.
Specifically, frequency distribution and percentage were employed. This means that the sum of
their responses were divided by the populations and the multiplied by one hundred (100).
This can be done using this formula:
P=F/N X 100
F=Frequency
P=Percentage
N=Total number of Respondents
