ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE 1
CHAPTER 1
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Nowadays adolescents are more desired in committing relationship which includes
romantic one. The teens who say they are either recently participated with a romantic partner or
have ever dated, hooked up with or had a romantic relationship are 35% over 100% [ CITATION
Ama15 \l 13321 ]. Based on the survey almost half of 100%, students are involved in relationship.
Some of the students are engaged in a romantic relationship.
The effects of having a romantic relationship while studying have a positive outcome.
Romantic relationship provides a positive outlook of adolescents’ life which motivates them to
achieve goals such as performing well in the studies. Most of the students have a strong interest
in terms of committing into romantic relationship. They naturally maintain their grades and they
are satisfied to have a romantic relationship as their inspiration to study hard [ CITATION Mar10 \l
1033 ].. In addition, having a partner in a students’ life motivate them to go school every day and
make them strong ones to face whatever obstacles may go through in their lives [ CITATION
Mio11 \l 1033 ]. In addition, there’s no negative effect on the students’ academic achievements
even though they are in a romantic relationship. Moreover, everything might have a negative or
positive effect, in the other hand, being in neutral can help to happen it in reality [ CITATION
Gab15 \l 1033 ]. It can also affect the school works of a learner because of lack in time
management. The result of this study may turn to either positive or negative outcomes. This
study tells about the effects of having romantic relationship with the opposite sex while the
students are studying.
Meanwhile, there are disadvantages that we can see in this matter as it includes the
students’ experiences of being in a romantic relationship while studying. There are more
negative effects when a student is involved in a romantic relationship in terms of their academic
matters. Nowadays teen romance is considered as the pioneer source of stress [CITATION Man09 \l
13321 ]. In the same manner, students who are participating in a romantic relationship usually
experience struggles in maintaining their grades high while they are also trying to keep their
relationship working out for good [ CITATION Mis15 \l 1033 ]. In short, instead of making sure
one’s grades are up to part and preparing for the real world most of their attention is focused on
love and relations [ CITATION Sni12 \l 13321 ] . Every decisions and choices they made influence
their academic performance. Doing the responsibilities as a partner and as a student is difficult.
In addition to this there are some point where in a student experience break down, caused by
break-up from the romantic relationship. This can lead to divided attention and less
determination in fulfilling the desired academic performance. With this thought of
disappointment and loosened motivation, create delays and unsatisfied accomplishment of school
works. As a result, students are prone in having poor grades as an outcome.
As an aid, students should learn to manage their time in accomplishing school works and to
their partner. They should take the relationship as a motivation and inspiration to study hard
because it may help them improve their academic performance. In order to answer this problem,
this study will determine the effects of romantic relationship of students towards the academic
performance of Senior High School students who are involve in a relationship. This study also
aims to the students who are involved come up into a certain realization as well.

CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature
Foreign Study
The generation nowadays (known as “Millenial Generation”) are so carefree and prefers to
do things in response to their curiosity. Teenagers are in the point where they want to experience
new things and they stand on their own [ CITATION Cui11 \l 1033 ]. Due to puberty stage, they are
more engaged in socialization which leads to greater tendencies of committing into different
kinds of relationships which includes romantic one, especially in their high school days. This
phenomenon could barely bring the students who are in a romantic kind of relationship into
either a positive or negative chapter in their academic performance. If you are participating in
romantic relationship, it can affect your attendance in school, but not in points of your
grade[ CITATION Loc17 \l 1033 ]. Having a romantic relationship may affect the academic
performance of the students. Attendance in school may affect it since it can also make an impact
in school works but not with the average grade of a student. Having a relationship will not affect
the grade, thus, it only affects the attendance of the student. Class absences are included in
grading but in computing grades, performance task and periodical exams are the things that have
a bigger count. The effects of the attendance in grade point average is not that huge to modify
someone’s grade. It helps to have a better grade but does not really results into a poor status. One
more thing, absences of a student in the high school level due to their curiosity and/or desire to
experience different and new things, tend to do not attend a day of class just for a date or certain
activity. In result, such actions will affect because written works including quarterly
examinations and projects will give them a chance to haul and get more than a passing final
grade. Moreover, being involved in a romantic relationship can be an inspiration to the students.
They can be active in performing on the field of their education. Responsibility of a person who
are committed in a romantic relationship is to be connected and affectionate to their loved ones.
They help, motivate and enjoy each other’s company then contribute to the dedication of
completing their school works before the given time of submission (Ullah, Ahmad, Khan &
Alam, 2016). This set up will make the students more motivated to strengthen their relationship.
Those couples who has their goals and achieving it in their own ways will make them proud for
each other because they did their best to reach it. And as the time flies, these types of students
will be more mature and understand each other because of the bond that has been made. In order
for them to be a happy and healthy couple, they should lift each other towards the shimmering
goal they want to achieve. Students who are engaged in a romantic relationship are more
tenacious in improving their academic performance because they have a more complex target to
attain.
On the other hand, students tend to concentrate more on what's happening in their own life
with their relationship and cannot focus on their school works [ CITATION Mau12 \l 1033 ]. Some
of the students nowadays forget their responsibilities. They put more attention to their partner
more than their school related activities and because of it, they tend to neglect their studies.
Usually students who are in love tend to feel happier when they are with their partners. There are
some point that they choose to give more than enough time on their loved ones, disregarding
academic matters because they love to be with and to talk with their partner. Obviously, when a
person is in a relationship, his or her time will be divided but unfortunately, some of the students
unluckily tend to unbalance their time for education and for their loved ones. Handling both
romantic relationship and maintaining your grades are quite difficult most especially for the
students because they really don’t know yet how to concur it without hesitation and stress. Time
management is the key for a student to stupendously fulfil his or her responsibilities as a student
and a lover at the same time.
On the contrary, there’s no negative effect on the students’ academic achievements even
though they are in a romantic relationship [ CITATION Gab15 \l 1033 ]. Everything might have a
negative or positive effect, in the other hand, being in neutral can help to happen it in reality.
Time management is the best answer in balancing the academic and romantic aspects in life for
every student who are involved in romantic relationship for them to do not experience any kinds
of struggles in their academic matters. Practices to surpass in maintaining the grades in school
and having a quality time of the youth to each other will serve as a bridge towards their aims and
goals.
Foreign Literature
Those learners who are involved in a romantic relationship has experienced more stress
when facing deadlines for school[ CITATION Qua171 \l 1033 ].When you are in a relationship, there
is always a problem which is inevitable. In academic, when there is a school work that has the
same deadline, you might get pressured. School works together with the problem they have with
their partner will give stress to that student who is in a romantic relationship. Little arguments of
a couple might lead to stress specially for those students who are facing near specific target time
of their performance task such as quarterly projects. Immaturity due to their young age also adds
on the complications of their situation as students who are engage in a romantic relationship as
they tend to seek for attention to their partner which they usually disregard for the sake of
academic matter of their loved ones. In result, student with a childish or immature partner are
experiencing dis-stress when the arguments and deadlines are coincided.
In addition, there are more negative effects when a student is involved in a romantic
relationship in terms of their academic matters. Nowadays teen romance is considered as the
pioneer source of stress [CITATION Man09 \l 13321 ]. One of the negative factors that can affect
academic performance is stress. Being in a romantic relationship can give you stress as a student
because it will serve as a source of problems in your academic life. Students are more distracted
in maintaining their grades, instead of reviewing, the students commonly have a sweet or little
argument with their partners. Stress will eat them up sooner or later because they tend to think
from time to time regarding what's the going on between the relationships with they loved ones,
then the students will forget that there are more significant stuffs that they should prioritize first.
In result, students might get failing grades while they’re busy arguing with their special
someone. In the same manner, it is an outcome from the break-ups or arguments between the
couple. Even those people who shows more attention on academics, giving time with one’s
partner may also serve as a distraction [ CITATION Ver10 \l 1033 ]. Even when we give an
importance in our academic matters, if our time is divided into so called love life and academic
life, it can still affect the other. Hence, the more time which a student gives in his or her
education, the other aspect of that student will suffer which is her romantic relationship, then,
vice versa. In addition, break-ups could barely drown a student unto failing grades because of the
sadness brought by that happening. Simply, a student will not have enough time consider that he
or she will make a little bit more effort in his or her studies. In contrast, romantic relationship
provides positive outlook of adolescents’ life which motivates the adolescents in achieving goals
such as performing well in the studies [ CITATION Jor19 \l 1033 ]. Being in a relationship while in
a high school level lead some students to a more active in accomplishment different tasks given
by their teachers. Their lover serves as one of their motivation to go and study in school, and a
little bit harder than they usually doing. With more sources of inspiration, students gain higher
grades because they are more motivated to complete their school works and that is one of the
results of thinking that it could help to feel more appraisal and compliments by someone they
love. In addition, they are more dedicated in achieving every goals running in their minds,
simply because they think that it would be for their self, family and partner. However, it affects
the school works of a learner because of the lack in time management [ CITATION Goi08 \l 1033 ].
Every hour is important, you should handle it wisely for you to be effective in finishing every
task that you have especially if you’re a student. Managing time is difficult because there are
many kinds of distractions in any place you go. Maintaining good grades will be more
complicated when a student is in a romantic relationship. When a student is engaged on a
romantic relationship, he or she will experience different struggles with his/her academic
matters. Simply, struggles in academic matters includes gaining failing scores in quizzes and
exam, not properly accomplishing the given task in a group activity, and poorly performing in
school. Unbalanced handling of the two aspects might lead to a suffering of poor grades as a
student or your relationship with your partner which might unfortunately result to break-up.
Local Literature
Having a partner in a students’ life motivate them to go school every day and make them
strong ones to face whatever obstacles may go through in their lives[ CITATION Mio11 \l 1033 ].
Inspiration can be in many ways; it can be your family, friends, dreams and also your special
someone. Students are happier and livelier to attend classes when he or she is involved in a
romantic relationship. That kind of affection could barely help the student to enhance and
improve his or her academic performance. They tend to be inspired to try things they often think
that they wouldn’t do it with a great outcome. Also, read books they never thought they’d like, to
go to a place they never wanted to visit, to eat a food that they always swore off. Although self-
motivation is essential, sometimes students’ esteem just runs out. There are some points that they
need a person running alongside them, telling that they can keep going that they can cross that
finish line. Their partners with that romantic relationship can give them strength to face problem
and inspire them to fulfill their responsibilities and priorities. Furthermore, being in a romantic
relationship is a very important part of the process of growing up. It adds to the development of
the ability to maintain in committed relationships later on in life and can be just plain fun.
[ CITATION Kat17 \l 1033 ]. Through this, it is more likely that the students will improve in their
education. This time, teenagers are excessively attracted to be in a romantic relationship and
there is nothing wrong with that unless a person is gracefully doing the balance of both subject
which is the so-called love life and academic performance. At some certain point, students may
also be more inspired and dedicated to do every school activities because of the contribution of
his or her partner. Young couples tend to be more flexible in many things because they can do
two things in at the same time, thinking of their loved ones while doing their projects or else,
replying to the lover’s message while reviewing for exam. Those practices can improve the skill
of a person to manage his or her time, which will help them to live a little bit happier and easier.
Besides, for teachers, professors and instructors – to identify what can help the students in
maintaining an excellent academic performance while having relationship so that they can
correctly educate them and isolate those effects that can lead to distractions in academic learning
[ CITATION Mas14 \l 1033 ]. Performing two things at the same time can affect the result of what
you do. Undeniably, your attention will be separated into two if you’ll be committed in a
romantic relationship. This could barely lead a student to a situation wherein he or she will be
unfocused in accomplishing the given task at house and most specially at school. Excellent
performance in the education field can be affected if a student chooses to be in a relationship,
simply, conflicts inside that affair contributes to the factor of students’ distractions.
Considerations are important in giving information to the students; the educators should also
think the sake or situation of that person. If more than half of the students are in relationship,
style in educating should also be improved but it is not quite easy also. The gain of learning
inside the campus can be affected if a student is committed in a romantic relationship as he or
she can be inspired to study harder, so that the school should do more activities and educational
programs for them to learn new things when it comes to that point wherein mostly the students
are more inspired to participate in class because of their engagement in a romantic relationship.
Likewise, relationships in high school are very distracting. Instead of making sure one’s grades
are up to part and preparing for the real world most of their attention is focused on love and
relations [ CITATION Sni12 \l 13321 ]. It tells the bad effects of the relationship during the study.
Relationships are not good at learning because it will cause distraction in students’ academic
performance. Nowadays, people easily get distracted by many kinds of distractions including the
romantic stuff. Relationships in young people, are tend to be a negative thing to the students,
simply because they pour more strenuous effort for their partner. The only thing that could
contradict that statement is, if the student is obviously good in managing his or her own time for
aspect, love and education. On the brighter side, positive outcome may be in a form of serving
as an inspiration and boost students’ determination to focus on their students to get high marks in
school [ CITATION Met17 \l 1033 ]. Students can inspire their partners to become a better person.
To push his-self/herself — in terms of career, beliefs, culture, values and education. In order for
them to accomplish every school related activities, students’ who are in a romantic relationship
should practice the ability of managing his or her time. Romantic relationship can also serve as a
useful and helpful one for a person because instead of facing problems only by thyself, the force
of solving that hindrance will be multiplied, in result, performance in school can also be affected
in a positive way.
Local Study
Students who are participating in a romantic relationship usually experience struggles in
maintaining their grades high while they are also trying to keep their relationship working out for
good [ CITATION Mis15 \l 1033 ]. In life, the best feeling is being in love. Meanwhile there’s
always a boundary between managing your time for romantic and academic aspects. Getting
more than a passing grade while a student is just being busy talking and dating with his or her
partner will be an obstacle. It will obviously be a hindrance in smooth journey towards the goals
and dreams of the students. If only if, student didn’t practice time management, it will lead to
gaining a failing grade. In addition, study would knock the students and elevate their awareness
on the effects of romantic relationship on the academic performance especially on its counter
part of positive effect. These concluded data would also make the students who are involved in
romantic relationship estimate the style in handling it considering the consumption of time
between academic and romantic aspects [ CITATION Alm11 \l 1033 ]. Nowadays, awareness is a
must especially to the youth. Teenagers who are in a relationship should realize how those
happenings in their lives affect their academic performance. Another thing, effects might be
good or positive, if being in a relationship is helpful that’s good, but if that kind of connection
does a negative effect in his or her grades in school, maybe that student should practice proper
management of the time of both aspects. Nevertheless, doing other responsibilities including
maintaining good grades, surpassing stress each day, and studying are some reasons why
students are busy while they are spending time with their future lifelong lover [ CITATION Aqu12 \l
1033 ]. Some of the students are already spending time to their assumed future partner, while
other students are not that much ready to have a romantic relationship. Academic achievers are
the people who prioritize their dreams first to achieve it. Everyone knows that being a student
and a lover is difficult to handle, but the good thing is, some of the students who are in a
romantic relationship have time management for them to live their lives according to what they
want to. Furthermore, giving more importance in the relationship with their love ones makes
them spend less effort and time in their school works and other school responsibilities that
affects their academic performance [ CITATION Joh14 \l 1033 ]. In other words partners who spend
more time and give more attention in their relationship without thinking other things they should
do like maintaining good grades, it can affect to their academic performance because they don’t
have time for school works and most of all, for other school responsibilities that affects their
academic performances such as getting more than just passing scores in their seat works, quizzes,
and quarterly examinations. When the students will give more time in working out the romantic
relationship he or she will become less active in participating with the school activities.
Moreover, youths are mostly satisfied with their romantic relationships. Respondents are already
confident in building romantic relationship. There is a positive relationship between the length of
the romantic relationship and the level of satisfaction. Most of the students have a strong interest
in terms of committing into romantic relationship. They naturally maintain their grades and they
are satisfied to have a romantic relationship as their inspiration to study hard. Teenagers
nowadays usually want to experience being in a relationship while studying and it will also serve
as their lever to attain their short-term goals. In order to achieve a change among teens sexual
behavior, an important step is to improve our knowledge about their opinions concerning
relationship, love and sexuality. [ CITATION Mar10 \l 1033 ]. For us to alter the attitude of
adolescents, we must make ways to enhance their insights and perceptions regarding in
relationship, love and sexuality. Just few of the adolescents these days know about the real
meaning of love. Several students nowadays are in a serious relationship because they have
enough knowledge about that. Mostly of the teenagers in this generation are digital natives,
which mean if they want to get in a relationship they can just use a dating app even though they
don’t really know the person they want to be with. The essence of improving their point of view
about this matter is for them to be aware about the decisions they make and the consequences of
their actions. There are couples out there who are unconscious yet clueless about love, sexuality
and some kind of romantic relationship or lack of awareness in these situations. These couples
are naturally prone to wrong path.

Meycauayan who are involved in a romantic relationship. We used purposive sampling
technique to get the number of respondents which is sixty-five (65) Senior High School students.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The data that has been collected will be presented using non-textual forms: in tabular and
graphical form to show simple interpretation for the collected data.
In order to get the effects of romantic relationship in academic performance of the Senior
High School students, the following formula was used:
1. To get the percentage we used formula for percentage:
is/ part %
=
of /whole 100
2. To describe the romantic relationship and academic performance, weighted mean
formulas was used.

n
∑ ( ¿ x 1∗w1 )
x= i=1 n
¿
∑ w1
i=1
Where:
Σ = the sum.
w= the weights.
x = the value.
3. To determine the relationship between Romantic Relationship and Academic
Performance, Correlation formula was used.
N ∑ xy−( ∑ x)( ∑ y)
r=

Where:
N = number of pairs of scores
Σxy =sum of the products of paired scores
Σx =sum of x scores
Σy = sum of y scores
Σx2 = sum of squared x scores
Σy2 = sum of squared y scores

4. To find the effects of romantic relationship to academic performance, regression
formula was used.
a=¿ ¿
b=n ¿ ¿
Sampling Technique
Purposive Sampling Technique was the method that the researchers used for getting the
desired respondents. One of the non-probability sampling is purposive sampling technique. It is
most effective when one is necessary to study a specific cultural domain with knowledgeable
experts within. This sampling technique can be used both in qualitative and quantitative research.
[ CITATION MaD08 \l 1033 ]
In this study the respondents should be in a romantic relationship. The researchers ask every
section of Senior High School, if they are in a romantic relationship since the second semester
started upon January 31, 2019.

into textual form. Statistical formula was used to analyze information which delineated in the
previous chapter of this research.

Problem 1: Romantic Relationship in terms of:

6. I’m inspired to finish my course Agree

8. I enjoy studying when I’m in a Agree

10. I feel motivated to study

63 3.73 .85
get involved in a romantic
relationship.
Total 63 3.82 1.04 Agree
Table 01 shows the motivational scale of the students who responded in following
statements. Most of the interpretation in the said questions had agree. The statement no.2, I want
to get good grades to ensure a brighter future with my partner has a highest mean which is 4.14
with a standard deviation of 1.31. Meanwhile, statement no. 9, I think I can get a higher grade
when I’m in a romantic relationship has the lowest mean which is 3.50 with its standard
deviation 1.03. The total mean is 3.82 with a standard deviation which total of 1.04 and
interpreted as Agree.
In the second statement, I want to get good grades to ensure a brighter future with my
partner which has the highest mean that serves as the statement wherein most of the respondents
agree on, simply shows that the students who are involved in a romantic relationship believes
that it is a way for them to be inspired in making their academic performance be developed to
have a brighter future not only for themselves but also for their future partner. Having a partner
in a students’ life motivate them to go to school every day and make them strong ones to face
whatever obstacles may go through in their lives[ CITATION Mio11 \l 1033 ]. Students are happier
and livelier to attend classes when he or she is involved in a romantic relationship. That kind of
affection could barely help the student to enhance and improve his or her academic performance.
1.2 Anxiety

that statement no.7, I can still pass my subjects and homework on time even if I’m in a
relationship has the highest mean which is 4.05 and a standard deviation of 1.18 and an
interpretation of agree. Meanwhile the statement no. 5, I can’t catch up with my lessons because
I often hangout with my partner has the lowest mean which is 1.73 and a standard deviation of .
99 and an interpretation of disagree. The total mean got 2..28 while the standard deviation has
1.01 with an interpretation of undecided.
In the seventh statement, I can still pass my subjects and homework on time even if I’m
in a relationship has the highest mean that serves as the statement wherein most of the
respondents disagree on, simply represents that the students who are involved in romantic
relationship are giving more attention to hang out with their partners than to their academic
performance. Students tend to concentrate more on what's happening in their own life with their
relationship and cannot focus on their school works [ CITATION Mau12 \l 1033 ]

Being involved in a romantic relationship can be an inspiration to the students. They can
be active in performing on the field of their education. Responsibility of a person who are
committed in a romantic relationship is to be connected and affectionate to their loved ones.
They help, motivate and enjoy each other’s company then contribute to the dedication of
completing their school works before the given time of submission (Ullah, Ahmad, Khan &
Alam, 2016). Anxiety is fear or nervousness about what might happen. Anxiety is connected in
romantic relationship because there are times that the students getting lazy to go to school
because they are with their partner. Every time they do it they can realize that if they didn’t
attend their class there’s a possibility that they will fail, and it may become the reason why
romantic relationship gives an anxiety that really affects in the students who are involved in

The result above illustrates that the highest factor that affect to the students is they enjoy
studying when they’re involved in a romantic relationship. According to the study of Phelps that
has the same results, romantic relationship provides positive outlook of adolescence life which
motivates the adolescents in achieving goals such as performing well in the studies [ CITATION
Jor19 \l 1033 ]. It only tells that having a romantic relationship can affect academic performance
in a positive way. In addition, another study stated the same result. They help motivate and enjoy
each other company then contribute to the dedication of completing their schoolworks before the
given time of submission. (Ullah, Ahmad, Khan & Alam, 2016).

that has .05=B.
In the table above, the result illustrates that got the highest factor that affects to the
students is they can’t catch up their lessons because I often hangout with my partner. According
to the study of Peterson that has the same result, students tend to concentrate more on what's
happening in their own life with their relationship and cannot focus on their school works
[ CITATION Mau12 \l 1033 ]. It tells that there is also a negative effect to the students when they
were involved in a romantic relationship. Another study stated the same result, those learners
who are involved in a romantic relationship has experienced more stress when facing deadlines
for school[ CITATION Qua171 \l 1033 ]

the same time to monitor you in your study.
 You and your partner talk about your relationship. Just to give some time and to talk
about that you both don't need to rush because true love waits.
 You need to encourage talking the painful experience out so that destructive acting out
does not occur, and to make sure they are moving through the loss in a healing way as
they contemplate some grown up lessons sadly learned when broken love occurs.
 Stay connected with each other and be faithful to your partner, until they reach they goals
in life.
 Your partner be your inspiration to have you motivation in school and to avoid anxiety.
 Don't always focus your mind on romantic relationship, because if he/she willing to wait
for you. Willing to give a time to reach your own achievement and goals in life.

our academic performance
