Abstract/Summary

Abstract. In the study of the stereotypes which Filipinos hold regarding an under-the-saya husband, a Focus Group Discussion method was used in conducting the research involving 24 participants, with ages ranging from 20-50 years old, and working in Quezon City were grouped into four groups of 6 same-sex participants with the use of purposive sampling. The data gathered were transcribed and analyzed through basic qualitative content analysis wherein prominent themes that emerged during the discussions were categorized. The results showed the respondents' stereotypes of an under-the-saya husband, his characteristics as well as the physical and emotional aspect, and as to where these can be evidently seen. It also presented the areas in marital life wherein deviations from the normative husband role arise specifically in child rearing, decision-making, discipline, and financial aspect. Stereotypes in general are group-based rather than individually-held and can be found in media as well as the norms in the society.
