CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of the study, conclusions drawn from

the results of the research and the recommendations made as an outgrowth of

the study.

Summary of the results

The study revealed the following findings:

The Profile of the Respondents in Selfitis and Self-esteem has been revealed

when grouped according to gender, grade level, age and section. Most of the

respondents were female which was 64% of the sample size of the population.

A total of 302 respondents out 521 were from Grade 11 which meant that most

of the respondents were from Grade 11. Most of the respondents were aged

17. Lastly, most of the respondents were from sections Aguinaldo and Del Pilar

which was 12% of the sample size of the population. Moreover, the selfitis

under Environmental Enhancement had a weighted mean of 3.42 while social

competition had 2.77. Moreover, attention seeking had a mean of 2.70 while

mood modification had 3.06. Furthermore, self-confidence had a mean of 3.08

and subjective conformity got 2.75. Furthermore, it revealed that approximately

62% of the senior high school students’ population belonged to acute level of

selfitis. This was followed by approximately 31% of the population under

chronic level of selfitis while 7% of the population belonged to borderline.

Moreover, it was found out that 45% of the respondents belonged to moderate
 41

level of self-esteem, 38% under low level of self-esteem and the remaining

17% belonged to high level of self-esteem. Lastly, there was a significant

moderate relationship between selfitis and self-esteem. Thus, the level of

selfitis had a contribution to the level of self-esteem of the students.

Conclusion

The analysis of the data collected for this study provided sufficient

evidence to support the following:

1. The selfitis under Environmental Enhancement had a weighted mean of 3.42

while social competition had 2.77. Moreover, attention seeking had a mean of

2.70 while mood modification had 3.06. Furthermore, self-confidence had a

mean of 3.08 and subjective conformity got 2.75.

2. Based on findings, majority of these students were under the level of acute

Selfitis and moderate level of Self-Esteem.

3. The level of selfitis had a contribution to the level of self-esteem of the

students.

Recommendation

Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the following

recommendations were formulated.

 42

1. Students should be responsible in using electronic gadgets especially in

taking of her/her picture and to be aware of the pros and cons of selfie taking.

2. Parents or guardians should guide and monitor their children especially on

how to educate children in utilizing their gadgets in selfie taking responsibly.

3. Teachers should highly educate and remind their students about the pros

and cons of selfie taking.

4. School Administrators should set precautionary measures especially in 5.

Future researchers should conduct deeper research regarding this matter to

provide better solutions.
