In determining the relationship between the focal variables, the following were controlled separately and simultaneously: sex, marital status, educational attainment, length of teaching experience, and monthly family income.

The study involved two-hundred fifty full-time college faculty members proportionately allocated to the four universities in Iloilo City; namely, University of Iloilo, University of San Agustin, Central Philippine University, and West Visayas State University. The sample respondents were drawn using systematic sampling with a random start.
