Abstract/Summary
The main purpose of this study was to determine and compare the patterns of friendships among single and married Filipino adults, taking into consideration the following: civil status (single/married), gender (male/female), and types of gender relationships (same sex/cross-sex). This was an exploratory study which used the non-probability, purposive sampling procedure for selecting its participants. The participants were chosen through chain referrals. And unstructured questionnaire was used as guide for the focus group discussion. Data will be examined using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results showed that Filipino adults had varying levels of friendships due to the following factors: communication, activities, disclosure, advantages and disadvantages, and strengths and strains of the relationships and that the distinct differences among these friendships lie in the willingness of a person to take time out to be with friends and the amount of self-disclosure one shares with them. The researchers concluded that single same-sex friendships were not restricted, cross-sex friendships experienced minimal amounts of restrictions similar to married same-sex friendships. Married cross-sex friendships had the most restrictions, with the females experiencing most of the burdens.
