A study of the likes and dislikes of Filipino adolescents

Abstract

This study of Catholic and Protestant adolescents, ranging from twelve to sixteen years old studying in the four private high schools in General Santos and South Cotabato, was an attempt to answer three questions as follows:

1. What qualities in adults are liked by adolescents?

2. What qualities are disliked by them?

3. With regard to their “Likes” and “Dislikes,” are there significant differences in the choices of Catholic and Protestant boys and girls and in the choices of boys and girls in different age groups?
