CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY


This chapter would be talking (talks about) about the step by step method of the research. It is further sub-divided into different parts that would be useful in finding the results of the study: Research Design, Research Environment, Research Respondents, Sampling Procedure, Research Instrument, Data Collection, and Data Analysis.

Research Design
The research will be using a descriptive research method whose goal is to describe the characteristics of what the subject of the research is. (define what is it?why it is applicable to your problem) Specifically, the research will be using the survey research design since the researchers are particularly interested in a particular sample of the population which is the female students of the University of the Philippines Cebu College aging 16-18 and their preference in choosing their ideal guy. The researchers' questions will be close-ended so that the respondents will experience less hassle and will be more convenient in answering the questionnaires. (remove) After all the data will be gathered, the design will help the researchers in knowing the main objective of the study which is to determine the preference of the respondents in choosing their ideal guy.(remove)

Research Environment
Female students correspond the participating body so the research will be done in the University of the Philippines Cebu College where the respondents are highly accessible and the survey sheets are easier to collect.

Research Respondents
The research is mainly focusing on the criteria female students set in choosing their ideal guy. The respondents of the study are the 30 female students of the University of the Philippines Cebu College aging 16 to 18 years old – 10 females aging 16, 10 aging 17, and 10 aging 18 years old.
The researchers chose the 16 to 18 age bracket because this is already the time wherein they already entered and are experiencing the middle adolescence stage. They are already mature enough to set the standards of what type of guy they want to be with and this is also the time wherein they open themselves to having serious relationship with the opposite sex.

Sampling Procedure
The sampling method that will be utilize (d) in this research is the stratified random sampling. It is a probability sampling method wherein the population is divided into smaller groups known as strata which is organize (d) based on their shared characteristics and uses random selection. In this research, the population is divided into three smaller sub-groups based on the age of the respondents – the 16 age group, 17 age group, and the 18 age group. Each of the sub-group will consist (of)10 members that will be randomly selected by the researchers.

Research Instrument
The research will demand for the set of criteria that girls want their ideal guy to have. In order to know these, the researchers will distribute survey sheets to gather the desired output. The questionnaire to be distributed is composed of five main parts. First is the physical appearance part wherein the respondents will choose the eye shape, nose shape, face shape, lips, eye color, hair color and height of their ideal guy. The second part will make the respondents choose on what social group they want their ideal guy to belong to. The third and fourth part is useful in determining the mental capacity and the social class of the respondents' ideal guy, respectively. The fifth part is composed of the different characteristics of a guy that makes him ideal. It is sub-divided into four parts as well – the vices, religion, family relationship, and personal character of the respondents' ideal guy. The respondents will then rank these four parts and the five main parts as well to determine which is the most important and the least important.
Another instrument that will be use in this research are (agreement) pictures of the eye shape, nose shape, face shape, and the lips of a guy. This will serve as help to those respondents who are not familiar with the words used by the researchers or those respondents who are not familiar about what the shape of the eye, nose, face, and lips that the respondents put in the questionnaire.

Data Collection
In gathering and collecting data, a survey will be conducted by the researchers. The distribution and collection of survey sheets will only take 1 day and will be done on September 20, 2011. The tabulation of the data gathered will take another day and that will be done on September 21, 2011.
The survey sheets will be distributed to 30 female students of the University of the Philippines Cebu College aging 16-18 years old. The respondents will be asked to check the box of the characteristics belonging to the five main parts which are the physical appearance, social group, mental capacity, social class, and the personality they want their ideal guy to have. In the personality part, the respondents will be asked to check if they strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree, disagree, or they are still undecided to the list of personality given by the researchers. After, the respondents will be asked to rank the four sub-groups found in the personality part with 1 as the highest and 4 as the lowest. This will serve as an evaluation to which part of the personality is the most important to them. The respondents will then be asked to rank the five main parts with 1 as the highest and 5 as the lowest. This will serve as the evaluation of their preference in choosing their ideal guy.
Data Analysis
After gathering all of the data, the researchers will tally the answers of the respondents to determine what type of eye shape, nose shape, face shape, lips, eye color, hair color, and height they want their ideal guy to have. Those having the most number of check marks will be evaluated as the most likeable shape of the guys' physical factors that will make him ideal. The tallying of data gathered will also determine the social group, mental capacity, and the social class of the respondents' ideal guy. For the personality part, the ratings will be summed up to determine which of it will rank first and will rank last and then, the researchers will evaluate it whether the respondents will strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree, disagree, or will remain undecided. For the very last part, the researchers will evaluate which of the five main parts will rank first and will rank last to determine which is the most important for the respondents to consider in choosing their ideal guy.
