The Demographic Profile of the Respondents in Terms of:

Table 1.1

Age

AGE FREQUENCY PERCENT

20-25 28 22.8%
26-30 61 49.6%
31-35 31 25.2%
36-40 1 0.8%
41-Above 2 1.6%
TOTAL 123 100%

Table 1.1 presents the frequency and percentage of respondents’ ages.

Based on the gathered data, the majority of the respondents' age range was 26–30

years, with a percentage of 49.6% of the total. The next most common age group is

31–35 years, accounting for 25.2%. Followed by those aged 20–25 years, who

represent 22.8% of the graduates. Next, those aged 41 and above constitute 1.6%,

and lastly, there is a minimal presence in the 36–40 year category, with only 0.8%.

Overall, these findings are based on the data collected on the age demographics of

psychology graduates. The age group 26–30 years has the highest representation

among psychology graduates, meaning most of the respondents are employed in

this age range, while the age group 36–40 years has the lowest representation.

 Table 1.2 indicates the frequency and percentage of sex of the respondents.

The table presents demographic data, indicating that out of a total of 123

respondents, 79 are female with a percentage of 64.2%, while 44 are male with a

percentage of 35.8%. This implies that there is a higher proportion of females in the

studied group compared to male.

YEAR GRADUATED FREQUENCY PERCENT

2015 21 17.1%
2016 13 10.6%
2017 30 24.4%
2018 30 24.4%
2019 20 16.3%

2021 6 4.9%
TOTAL 123 100%

Table 1.3 shows the frequency and percentage of year graduated by the

respondents. According to the gathered data, the highest percentage of graduates

who responded to the survey were in 2017 and 2018, amounting to 24.4%. The next

dominant year is 2015, amounting to 17.1%. Next is the year 2019, amounting to

16.3%. Followed by the year 2016, amounting to 10.6%, and the year 2021,

amounting to 4.9%. Lastly, 2020 has the lowest representation, comprising only

2.4%. The data reveals that the years 2017 and 2018 have the highest

representation among psychology graduates. In contrast, the year 2020 has the

lowest representation. This shows that the majority of psychology graduates were

mostly employed in 2017 and 2018.

 Civil Status

CIVIL STATUS FREQUENCY PERCENT

Single 77 62.6%
Married 23 18.7%
Live-in 19 15.4%
Single-Parent 3 2.4%
Separated 1 0.8%
TOTAL 123 100%

Table 1.4 indicates the frequency and percentage of the civil status of

respondents. Based on the results, the majority of psychology graduates are single,

representing 62.6% of the total. Married graduates constitute 18.7%, live-in

relationships amount to 15.4%, single-parent graduates make up 2.4%, and

separated graduates are the smallest group at 0.8%. This distribution provides

insights into the civil status diversity among psychology graduates. Most of the

respondents are single, indicating an increasing percentage of single status among

the group examined. However, just one respondent indicated that they had been

separated. This shows a substantial difference in the frequency of single people

compared to separated people, suggesting that among graduates, remaining single

is significantly more dominant than being separated.

Employment Status

EMPLOYMENT STATUS FREQUENCY PERCENT

Regular 89 72.4%
Contractual 15 12.2%
Contract of Service 10 8.1%
Casual 7 5.7%
Job Order 2 1.6%
TOTAL 123 100%
 Table 1.5 presents the frequency and percentage of the employment status of

respondents. According to the table, the respondents employed a high percentage in

regular jobs, resulting in 72.4% of the total. Contractual employment follows with

12.2%, while contract of service represents 8.1%. Casual employment accounts for

5.7%, and job-order employment is the smallest category at 1.6%. This distribution

reveals the various employment statuses of psychology graduates, with a significant

portion holding regular positions, and just two of the respondents were in job order.

Table 1.6

Occupational Level

OCCUPATIONAL LEVEL FREQUENCY PERCENT

Entry Level 75 60.95%
Supervisory Level 31 25.25%
Managerial Level 17 13.8%
TOTAL 123 100%

Table 1.6 shows the frequency and percentage of the occupational level of

respondents. Based on the data provided, it appears that the majority of psychology

graduates initially enter the workforce at the entry level, constituting 60.95% of the

sample. Moving up, the supervisory level sees 25.25% of graduates, while the

managerial level has the smallest representation at 13.8%. This shows that a

significant proportion of psychology graduates start their careers at the entry level

before potentially advancing to the managerial level, which represents the lowest

percentage of graduates throughout the group of respondents.

Table 1.7
 Length of Service

LENGTH OF SERVICE FREQUENCY PERCENT

6 months–1 year 21 17.1%
1 year–2 years 24 19.5%
3 years–4 years 44 35.8%
5 years–6 years 21 17.1%
7 years–Above 9 7.3%
Not applicable 4 3.3%
TOTAL 123 100%

Table 1.7 indicates the frequency and percentage of the respondents based

on their length of service. The table reveals that a significant number of respondents,

or precisely 44 graduates, reported having worked in their field for 3–4 years,

resulting in 35.8% of the total, followed by the category of 1–2 years, amounting to

19.5%. Next are the 6 months–1 year and 5–6 years, both of which show a result of

17.1%. Lastly, the 7 years and above category has lower representation, indicating

fewer graduates with longer tenures. Additionally, a small percentage of 3.3%

selected "not applicable," indicating that some respondents may not have relevant

work experience at the time of the survey. This shows that a significant portion of the

data has a service duration in the 3–4 year range, while only a small percentage did

not provide applicable information for this category.

Conclusion
 The data reveals a predominant age group among psychology graduates, with

49.6% falling within the 26–30 range. Notably, the 36–40 age category had the

lowest representation at 0.8%, it is noticeable and implies that participants are

primarily in the younger age bracket. According to the demographic distribution

shown in table 1.2, there were significantly more female respondents with a

percentage of 64.2%, than the male respondents with a percentage of 35.8%. The

123 respondents in the sample study indicate a gender imbalance that draws

attention to a substantial difference in participation rates between the two sexes. As

shown in table 1.3 the highest percentage of graduates who responded to the survey

about their year graduated were in year 2017 and 2018, amounting to 24.4%, while

the lowest percentage was in 2020, amounting to 2.4%. This shows that the majority

of psychology graduates were mostly employed in year 2017 and 2018. Table 1.4

shows that 62.6% of the respondents are single, indicating an increasing percentage

of single status among the group examined. However, just 0.8% of the sample

indicated that they had been separated. This shows a substantial difference in the

frequency of single people compared to separated people, suggesting that among

graduates, remaining single is significantly more dominant than being separated.

According to the table 1.5, the respondents employed a high percentage in regular

jobs, resulting in 72.4%, and a low percentage in job orders, resulting in 1.6%. This

distribution reveals the various employment statuses of psychology graduates, with a

significant portion holding regular positions, and just two of the respondents were in

job order. Table 1.6 shows the frequency and percentage of the occupational level of

respondents. Based on the gathered data, a significant portion, or 73 out of the total

respondents, are in entry-level positions, accounting for 59.3%. Additionally, 2

respondents marked their status as "not applicable," accounting for 1.6%. This

demonstrates that a significant proportion of psychology graduates begin their

careers at the entry level with the potential of moving up to the managerial level,

which is represented by the least number of graduates among the respondents.

Lastly, as shown in table 1.7 indicates the length of service of respondents. The table

reveals that a significant number of people, or precisely 44 respondents, reported

having worked for 3–4 years, resulting in 35.8% of the total. However, just 4

respondents, or 3.3% of the sample, answered "not applicable." This indicates that a

significant portion of the data has a service period within the range of 3–4 years, but

only a small percentage did not give relevant data for this category.
