CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
The focus of the study is to determine romantic teenage relationship to the
academic performance of the students at San Pascual Senior High School 2.
This chapter presents the introduction, statement of the problem, scope,
limitation and delimitation and significance of the study.
Introduction
High School life can be stressful, although it is undoubtedly one of the
most memorable experiences in one's life. It represents a critical developmental
period for both late adolescents and young adults. Social factors such as
romantic relationships, organizations and clubs, and sports activities have been
found to have effects on students' academic performance. These social factors
affect academic performance in terms of time demanded and the psychological
state they may cause. A student may be influenced to be involved in any of the
stated variables. The question is how one strikes a balance between the stressful
academic attainment and social activities (Chickering, 2000).
Education is a very important thing that matters in this world. Our parents
educate us through their stored knowledge while we’re a child until we grow up.
They are the one who really knows our feelings. We are schooling for our best
future. This is the best place for acquiring more knowledge. As a teenager, we
are prone to have knowledge while we are studying. We are experiencing more
intense feeling during our high school life. We can never ignore it, and that’s why
3
lot of students are in a relationship. There are factors that really affect the daily
life of a particular teenager.
Relating ourselves to one another is building a relationship that lasts.
Relationships of all kinds are a distraction at this time, but in a way, studies are
distractions to the most natural growing up biological process as well. There is no
“studies” designed by nature. But of course relationships cause distraction so
long as academics are concerned. We tend to waste a lot of time daydreaming
about that person and don’t realize how time quickly flies away, which ultimately
hampers our performance. Relationship can be a key to focus in your study but
nowadays we used it as a game however we don’t know the effects on our whole
performance.
Romantic teenage relationship is one of the issues that people have
different views on. Some may argue that a relationship that starts at a younger
age is not healthy; others may think otherwise. Regardless of what people say,
teenage relationship has both its advantages and its difficulties. The researchers
work out the main topic of this study which is implementing a survey
questionnaire to find out the romantic teenage relationship on the performance of
selected students in San Pascual Senior High School 2.
4
Statement of the Problem
This study will be conducted to determine the romantic teenage
relationship in the academic performance of the students in San Pascual Senior
High School 2. In order to achieve the general objectives of this study, the
researchers have gathered data and information which aim to answer the
following:
1. What is the positive effects of romantic teenage relationship to the
student at San Pascual Senior High School 2?
2. What are the challenges met by student having romantic teenage
relationship to the students in San Pascual Senior High School 2?
3. What are the proposed material to attain a good academic performance
of students who are involved in a relationship?
Scope, Delimitation and Limitation of the Study
This study covers up to determine the romantic teenage relationship to the
students at San Pascual Senior High School 2. As such, any other factor that
possibly influences the effects of teenage relationship which is not part of the
defined parameters of the study is deemed out of scope. The results are,
therefore, interpreted only within the context of the study.
The limitation of the study was that data was only collected from the
selected students through questionnaires and interview. This study limits only to
students who are currently enrolled in San Pascual Senior High School 2.
5
The findings of this study are primarily delimited by the answers given by
the students, which are assumed to be true and correct. It is also delimited to the
number of the students who are unavailable at that time that the survey was
conducted which slightly alters the population sample used in the study.
Significance of the Study
This research is being conducted for the purpose of determining the
effects of teenage relationship. The researchers believe that this study is
significant to the following:
To the School Administrators. This will help the school administrators to
be aware on the effects of having love relationship of students for them to be
guided and be educated in a manner that it can help students attain excellent
academic performance.
To the Teacher. For the teachers, the information that they would get in
this study would help them guide and give proper attention to their students who
are involved in romantic relationship so that teachers could also help in
increasing the academic performance of their students not just by teaching them
lessons on the course/subjects they handled.
To the Parents. Findings of this study would also raise the awareness of the
parents of the students who are synchronizing their time in both academic works
and romantic aspects. These findings could benefit them so that they could guide
their children on how to balance time wisely, and as parents, they are tasked to
6
motivate their children to prioritize their study and set-aside/minimize factors of
romantic relationship (i.e., more frequent interaction with the partner) which can
affect the academic performance of their children.
To the Students. The result of the study would alarm the students and raise
their awareness on the romantic relationship of the student especially on its
positive and negative effects. These concluded data would also make the
students who are involved in romantic relationship asses their time management
between romantic and academic aspects.
To the Future Researchers. The findings of this study may serve as
reference for the future researchers. This will help them in conducting a research
as it could give them idea about teenage relationship. It will also give the future
researcher the knowledge that they need in order to do the same research.
Chapter II
Review of Related Literature
This chapter presents the review of conceptual and research literature.
This include the discussion of research literature taken from various sources. In
this chapter the researcher seek information that is connected to the study. It can
help to have perused to shed light on the topic under study.
7
Conceptual Literature
This include information relating to the study based on published
article, books and other information that is relevant to topic.
Romantic Relationship. Humans, particularly adolescents get in romantic
relationship with variety of reasons. According to Aristotle, humans are ‘social
animals” which mode them long to form an intimate relationship which love can
be given and received freely which psychologist called “the need to belong”
(Myers 2010). Rest assured of the love and care given by the persons close to
them, they are secured with the trust and confidence that they are acceptable to
individuals whom they can depent on for the satisfaction of their needs.
Roman(2010) stated that being in romantic relationship involves physical contact
which causes chemical arousal to the persons involved and at the same tome
gives love and confidence in which they are longing for.
According to Collins (2003) content of romantic relationships refers to
shared activities of romantic partners, what adolescent partners do together, how
they spend their time, the diversity of their shared activities, and the activities and
situations they avoid to do when they are together.
On the other hand according to Arnet (as cited in Fincham and Cui 2011),
“late adolescents” is the stage where teenagers experienced how to be totally
and socially independent. This is the time for curiosity and exploration in
choosing and having a partner, and explore this kind of relationship may not lead
8
to pleasant and intense love affair. This is just a result of their inquisitive mind
and a sort of finding on how to fit into the world. “What is life all about” Questions
such as these assume special significance during teenage years as adolescents
seek to find their place in broader and social wold.
Luqman (2009) said that an adolescent relationship plays an important
role to adolescent as it develops the ability for committed relationship,
Additionally, Pelt (2004) started that those relationship help develop personality.
She also added that it is a way of knowing ones unique qualities of opposite sex
and at the same time choosing the right life partner.
However, romantic relationships do not always behave in a positive way.
There are instance in which romantic relationship may harm adolescents and
because of this, they need adults who will guide them in developing healthy
relationship.(Luqman 2009). In another way, romantic relationship gives more
negative effects in the academic performance of adolescents. Teens nowadays
consider romantic relationship as the number one source of stress (Manning, et
al, 2009). It results from the break ups on conflicts with partner. Even those who
give more importance on academics, spending time with one’s partner may also
serve as a distraction Myers (2010).
Dating Relationship. From the concept of Barber and Eocles (2003),
about dating relationships, students often refine their communication and
negotiation skill, development and learn how to maintain intimate relationship.
9
The emotional ups and downs student with getting together and breaking up may
also help youth develop important skills, while break up may put some young
people at risk for depression. They may also help youth develop emotional
resiliency and coping skills needed to handle difficulties later in life. They need a
emotional support from their parent and partner. The role of romantic relationship
as a source of support and identity may be especially important for sexual
minority who are often compelled by social norms to keep partner may be only
people with whom they feel comfortable and safe sharing their thoughts and
feelings about their sexual identity.
Social influence on romantic relationship. Exposure to entertainment and
social media might influence the interest and attitude of youth towards romantic
relationship. This study explained how a teenage vision about romance shifts
from ideas. Studies have shown that romantic love been significantly influenced
by the exposure to westernized mass media and the conceptualization about
love among teenage ( CR Agnew-2004).
According to the study of Eggermant (2004), he aimed to explore the
relationship between overall and romantically thermed television viewing and
adolescents expectation of a romantic partner. He found moderate but significant
associations for over all television viewing, after background variables and the
quality of other relationships were accounted for in the 428 adolescents aged
10
between 15 to 16 year old who related the important of physical attractiveness
and a pleasant personality in a romantic partner.
Huang (2004) found out that considering arousal and pleasure to be two
mediating mechanisms of romantic love in media he studied its impact on
advertisement attitudes, in this study spiritual compassionate love and were
considered as type of romantic love.
Factors affecting student having romantic relationship.
Correlation of time management and academic performance. Many
student become more focused on their romantic relationship since they spend
more time with their partner than in studying. The students who are involved in a
relationship have face a challenge and balancing their time in academic and
romantic side. Consequently it is indeed important to find out if there is a
correlation between the time management and their academic performance.
Crissey (2006) who studied the impact of romantic relationship among
girls in high school believed that the time management of the student involved in
romantic relationship affects their academic performance. She said that the more
time spent by the students to their partner the lesser the time they will spend in
studying.
Effects of teenage relationship. Joshua Elevate, 2016 stated the early
romantic relationship (advantage and disadvantage). First many teenagers “excel
in their class” because they become motivated to study hard because of their
11
partner which is considered as a positive result for every students and teenagers
having an early romantic relationship.
Consequently, half all teens been in a dating relationship and nearly one
third of all teens have been in a serious relationship. According to Fuman (2002)
romantic become more and more significant to adolescents in their social world
as they also develop from puberty towards late adolescents.
Negative outcomes may be in a form which worst may lead in teenage
pregnancy. On the bright side, positive outcome may be in a form of serving as
an inspiration and boost student determination to focus on their studies to get
high marks/grades in school. It may also teach students on how to be
responsible, patient and be nature on decision they make.
Positive effects of teenage relationship. Different relationship affect
teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same amount as
their parent. Teenager go to their friends for help or to ask their parents about.
Most of the time they friend give them a good advice but then there is a downside
when they put pleasure and they friend to do something like to smokes, drinks
and do drugs. (Heather R. 2000).
Dating has many positive benefits for teens even, if they easily get carried
away from a romantic feelings. Appropriate teens relationship lead to maturity in
teenagers and a better understanding of adult relationship. Through dating, teens
12
gain essential tools in navigating the world and are better able to develop
meaningful intimate relationships as adult (Grey) .
Teenage relationship violence. Teen dating violence is defined as the
physical, sexual, psychological or emotional aggression within dating
relationship, including stalking. It can help occur in person or electronically and
might occur between a current or former dating partner. As teen develop
emotionally, they are heavily influenced by experiences in their relationship.
Healthy relationship behaviors can have a positive effects on a teen's emotional
development. Unhealthy abusive or violent relationships can have short and long
term negative effects on a developing teen.
This article provides a critical assessment of our understanding of
partner abuse and violence in teenage relationships. Initially an overview is
provided of theoretical and methodological issues in this area, examining how
dominant trends have influenced perceptions of this problem. In contrast a more
encompassing approach incorporating gendered power relations teenagers own
experiences and an acknowledgement of young people agency is suggested.
The importance of understanding the context in which such violence
occurs and the meaning it holds for young people, are highlighted. Young people
responses are explored and a range of risk factors associated with this form of
violence evaluated. In conclusion, messages for policy and practice development
are raised.
13
Relationship quality is studied in a variety of disciplines, yet widely
accepted practices promulgate a lack of conceptual clarity. We build on a
conceptually simple and theoretically advantageous view of relationship quality
and suggest a shift to conceptualizing it as two distinct yet related dimensions—
positive and negative evaluations of relationships. We introduce item response
theory as a powerful tool for measure development, demonstrating how
relationship quality can be optimally pursued in the context of modern test theory,
thus leading to better theory development. Recognizing the limitations of self‐
reported relationship quality, we extend this two ‐dimensional conceptualization
further by drawing on developments in the derivation of implicit measures. After
briefly introducing such measures, we illustrate their application to assessment of
relationship quality
Challenges having romantic teenage relationship. Forming and
maintaining a successful romantic relationship can be a challenge. Without
question, attaining love and romance can enrich your life and can help satisfy the
need for positive, long-term social bonds. Yet, you can have trouble finding the
“right” partner or any partner at all, and even if you find a suitable partner, so
many things can go wrong. Your satisfaction can wane, and your level of
commitment can go with it. You can be tempted by infidelity, or your partner may
fall prey to similar temptations. These challenges can be particularly troublesome
14
among emerging adults, who tend to have relatively little experience with forming
and maintaining a successful long-term relationship.
Indeed, emerging adults in many ways must feel their way through a new
romantic relationship with relatively little knowledge or background to guide them.
Given the potential difficulties inherent in forming and maintaining a close
romantic relationship, it is surprising that so many relationships among young
adults are successful. However, their relationship successes are perhaps less
surprising when one considers that human beings have been succeeding at long-
term romantic relationships for thousands of generations. All of our ancestors
were successful at mating (at least insofar as they were able to reproduce), and
we have inherited from them a very useful suite of psychological processes that
help us solve important relationship problems. In this sense all people are built to
succeed at romantic relationships.
Research Literature
This include the discussion of research literature taken from a various
sources. It can help to have perused to shed light on the topic under study.
The study used the discriptive method to investigate the effects of early
teenage relationships on academic performance of senior high students.
Frequent dating behaviors and early sexual experience showed significant
negative impacts on both academic outcomes; moderate dating activities had an
15
estimated positive impact. Implications from this study help inform educators and
families in developing appropriate policies and educational conversations to
guide youth toward a moderate timely of dating.
Humans particularly adolescents get involve in romantic relationship
with variety of reasons. According to Aristotle, humans are “social animals” which
made them long to form an intimate relationship in which love can be given and
received freely which the psychologists called “the need to belong”. Rest assured
of the love and cared given for the person closed to them, they are secured with
the trust and confidence that they are acceptable to individuals whom they can
defend on for the satisfaction of their needs (Myers 2010). From the concept of
Lucas and Curpuz (2001), “quality personal relationship that provise stability trust
and earing such as romantic relationship can increase lea mers” sense of
belonging self – respect and self acceptance and provide a positive dimate for
learning and thus increase academic performance.
More over, theorist suggest that romantic relationship has a great role in
the academic performance of the students. Further more Vygotsky’s ideas about
cognitive development have become major influences in psychology and
development today Lucas and Corpuz (2007). Theorist suggested that romantic
performance of students, parents, peers and partners on the other hand.
Cooperate, collaborate and enrich the learning experience (Lucas and Corpuz
2007).
16
Roman(2010) stated that being in romantic relationship involves physical
contact which causes chemical arousal to the persons involved and at the same
time gain love and confidence in which they are longing for. (koob and
Bloom1982) also explained this by stating that the individuals who are involve
release a number of chemicals within the brain such as oxytocin, vasopresin and
endorphins which causes "short term" joy and pleasure.
Furman (2002) Young people spend a great deal of time thinking about,
and being in romantic relationships, yet adults typically dismiss teenage dating
relationship as superficial. Young people do not agree: half of all teens report
having been in dating relationship and nearly one-third of all teens said they have
in a serios relationship. Although most adolescent relationship last for only a few
weeks or month, these early relationships play a pivotal role in the lives of the
teens and ate important to developing the capacity for long-term, committed
relationships in adulthood.
The authors examine when romantic relationships may be detrimental to
adolescent development and may be associated with the rise of depressive
symptomatology as well as with the gender difference in depression that
emerges during adolescence. In this chapter the authors first present the
dominant theoretical models explaining the etiology of adolescent depression
and current theoretical models of adolescent romantic relationships. They
attempt to integrate these perspectives in an effort to explain the link between
17
romantic relationships and depressive symptomatology in adolescents. Their
integrative model posits that a variety of individual characteristics may place
certain adolescents at risk for developing depressive symptoms when exposed to
the stressors inherent in romantic relationships. Second, they examine some of
these stressors or challenges associated with different developmental stages of
adolescents' romantic relationship. Finally, they discuss practical implications for
program planning, health education, and clinical intervention.(PsycINFO
Database Record (c) 2019 APA,)
Synthesis
The concepts principles and studies found relevant to present study are
once more reviewed to discover the similarities and disparities and to establish
the originally of this research.
This is already been reviewed on this topic and the study was able to
conclude that being in a romantic relationship can affect a students academic
performance. They allow bonds to be formed that can influence the behavioural
aspect of adolescents involved. Relationship can be described as expressions of
affections, including emotional, physical, and sexual. Men and women generally
have different feelings when it comes to romantic relationship.
An article of Barber and Eocles (as cited in Luqman 2009) talked about
the importance of romantic relationship to adolescent development and its “long
18
lasting” effects on self-confidence. It affirmed that romantic relationship teaches
moral values on romance. Intimate “relationships and sexuality”. In additional to
this healthy romantic relationship could possibly benefit student education.
(Philips 2007). Romantic relationship provides positive outlook of adolescent life
which motivates the adolescents in achieving goals such as performing well in
the studies. According to Zulueta and Maglaya (2004). “Motivation Constitute the
degree of an individual behavior as manifested by this interests, attitude and
aspirations to satisfy hid desired goal”. It is satisfy his goal object. Provided a
positive romantic relationship, adolescents would strive hard on performing well
in studies to bring a brighten future in their relationships.
The variables of the study were student grades, intensity level of
involvement in a romantic relationship and self – esteem. Finding described
significant effect of romantic relationship or academic performance. Intensity and
level of involvement also exhibited a significant relationship on the student
academics performance. Moreover, Fuman (20008) stated that these relationship
are significant to adolescents live. Student academic performance occupies a
very important place in education as well as the learning process.

In the stage of process the researcher used in conducting is an
interview. In this way of conducting the study and the researchers are able to
have a short time to have a personal interview. The researcher has already a
questionnaire that they are able to answer. After conducting an interview the
researcher was able to scoring and tallying it, after that long process the
researcher will make a recommendation.
In the stage of output the long process of scoring and tallying all the
answer by the respondents the researcher will give some recommendation and
action plan to be done.
Definition of terms
For a better understanding of this study the following terms are hereby
defined theoretically and operationally.
Academic performance. is the extent to which a student teacher or
institution has achieved their short or long term educational goals.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD AND PROCEDURE
This chapter presents the research design of the study, the respondents,
and the data-gathering instruments, the construction and validation of instrument,
the data-gathering procedure and the statistical treatment of data used in this
study.
Research Design
23
The main purpose of this study aims to determine the romantic teenage
relationship of the students at San Pascual Senior High School 2.
With this purpose, the researchers made use of the descriptive method of
research. According to Sevilla (2011), the descriptive method is designed for the
investigator to gather information about present existing conditions. A design that
provides a picture of a situation as it naturally happens. It may be used to justify
current justice, make judgement and develop theories (Burns and Groove, 2003).
The main data gathering instrument was the questionnaire. It purports to
present facts concerning the disaster awareness of students. The researchers
consider this method as the most appropriate because, according to Castillo
(2007), descriptive studies may include present facts as current conditions
concerning the nature of a group of persons, a number of projects, as much as
class of events and may involve the procedure of analysis, classification,
enumeration and measurement of the given data.
Subject of the Study
The subject of the study was 50 selected students from Grades 11 and
12 of San Pascual Senior High School 2 School Year 2019-2020.
Data- Gathering Instruments
Construction of the Questionnaire. To effectively formulate an ideal
questionnaire, the researchers read many books related to the topic to frame up
good questions for the study. The first draft was prepared and shown to the
24
adviser for the corrections, comments and suggestions. Items were revised
based from the given inputs and suggestions. The researchers see to it that all
corrections were incorporated for the second draft. Finally, it was returned again
to the adviser for their proposal.
Validation of the Questionnaire. The final copy of the questionnaire was
submitted to the practitioners knowledgeable about the topic for the purpose of
clarifications of directions, correct grammar usage and enrichment of context.
The correction were accepted and considered for the output of another draft.
After such time all revisions were considered and now ready for the final approval
of the adviser. After the face to face validation, dry run was conducted to
determine reliability of the items in the questionnaire.
Administration of the Questionnaire. After the long process of validating
the questionnaire, finally, the final draft was made. The questionnaire was
reproduced for the purpose of administration to the target respondents. The
questionnaire was administered to the selected students of San Pascual Senior
High School 2. The directions were clearly explained by the researcher so that
good results can be obtained. The questionnaire were retrieved after some time.
Scoring of the Responses. The data will be interpreted in terms of
criteria based on the following scale:
Option Scale Verbal Interpretation

4 3.10 – 4.00 Strongly Observed
3 2.10 – 3.00 Frequently Observed
25
2 1.10– 2.00 Moderately Observed
1 1.00 Observed
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers prepared request to the teachers and principal asking
permission to conduct their study. The researcher conducted the questionnaire
and personally distributed it to the respondents. The aim of their study were
thoroughly explained to the respondents. After the retrieval of the filled- up
questionnaires, scoring and tallying of the students’ responses were undergone
by the researchers themselves as well as their adviser
Statistical Treatment of Data
The data obtained from the respondents were tallied, tabulated and
interpreted using the following descriptive statistics.
Frequency. This measured the normal data. It also determined the
number of repeated occurrences of a particular response of the student’s
respondents.
Percentage. This was employed to determine of the frequency count. This
was utilized in treating the profile of the respondents.
Weighted Mean. It refers to the arithmetic average of the overall response
of the respondents.
26
Composite mean. It refers to the average of the overall response of the
effects of teenage relationship to the academic performance of the students.
CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AN INTERPRETATION OF DATA
In this chapter, the result and discussion of data from the quantitative (survey) method are
presented.

Based on Table 1 the two main positive effects of romantic teenage
relationship are encourage student to learn and have inspiration with the mean of
3.85 and a verbal interpretation of always observed happens to be number 1
positive effects of romantic teenage relationship followed by build self-confidence
and student have open communication between their family and partner with the
mean of 3.43 and a verbal interpretation of moderately observed. Therefor our
composite means is 3.31 with the verbal interpretation of moderately observed.

find their place in broader and social world.
On the other hand according to the study of Eggermant (2004), he aimed
to explore the relationship between overall and romantically termed television
viewing and adolescent expectation of a romantic partner. He found moderate

but significant associations for over all television viewing, after background
variables and the quality of other relationships were accounted for in the 428
adolescents aged between 15 to 16 year old who related the important of

Based on Table 2 the two main challenges met by student having

the mean of 2.78 and a verbal interpretation of moderately observed happens to
be number 1 challenges met by student having romantic teenage relationship
followed students consumes their allowance on their partner with the mean of
2.5 and a verbal interpretation of moderately observed. Romantic relationship
can sometimes lead to unhealthy outcomes. Therefor our composite means is
2.42 with the verbal interpretation of sometimes observed.
Adolescents can be exposed to abusive and violent interactions or
unwanted or coerced sexual activity within their romantic relationship. (Mulford &
Giordano, 2008). On the other hand other challenges facing young people
seeking or participating in romantic relationships include unrequited love and
breaking up. In the case of unrequited love, fantasies about the other can be
intense and obsessional, sometimes leading to misinterpretation that the feelings
are reciprocated. In extreme cases this may result in maladjusted acting-out
behaviours, such as aggression and stalking (Leitz & Theriot, 2005), but more
commonly the distress is turned inwards, contributing to depression and low self-
esteem, someone with the risk of self-harm.
30
On the other hand Roman (2010) stated that being in romantic relationship
involves physical contact which causes chemical arousal to the persons involved
and at the same time gain love and confidence in which they are longing for.
(koob and Bloom1982) also explained this by stating that the individuals who are
involve release a number of chemicals within the brain such as oxytocin,
vasopresin and endorphins which causes "short term" joy and pleasure.
However, romantic relationships do not always behave in a positive way. There
are instance in which romantic relationship may harm adolescents and because
of this, they need adults who will guide them in developing healthy relationship.
(Luqman 2009). In another way, romantic relationship gives more negative
effects in their performance. Teens nowadays consider romantic relationship as
the number one source of stress (Manning, et al, 2009). It results from the break
ups on conflicts with partner. Even those who give more importance on
academics, spending time with one’s partner may also serve as a distraction
Myers (2010).
