CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter contains the research methodology that
includes the research design, flow of the study, the research
environment, research respondents, research instrument,
research procedures, statistical treatment of data and scoring
procedures that will guide the researchers in knowing the
Lifestyles of Senior High school Students in Indiana Aerospace
University and its contribution to stress.
Research Design
This study is conducted to determine the different lifestyles
of Senior High school Students of Indiana Aerospace University
and its contribution to stress.
The researchers used both qualitative and quantitative
approach in conducting the study. Qualitative approach, in a way
to utilize the narrative method to be able to concisely harness
varying facts and opinions of students. Quantitative approach
with a descriptive survey design to collect data and information
to be used in the research.
The respondents are randomly selected from Senior High
School that are currently studying any academic strand in
2
Indiana Aerospace University. Teachers are also randomly
selected to state and give their own opinion and knowledge
about the topic. The credibility of outcome and findings deeply
relied on the quality of research design, data collection, data
management, data analysis and interpretation.

Flow of the Study
INPUT
Granted that different lifestyles of students could lead to stress
that would lessen the productivity or the performance of the
students, the researchers would like to know different kinds of
lifestyles of that leads to stress.
The researchers would like to know prevent and avoid having
stress.
PROCESS
Quantitative Design and Qualitative Design
1. The researchers will conduct a survey and interview
among the stated research respondents.
Observation and analyzation of the collected data.
Formulation of conclusion about the lifestyles of Senior High
school students in Indiana Aerospace University and its
contribution to stress
OUTPUT
Conclusion and findings about the lifestyles of senior High
school students in Indiana Aerospace University and its
contribution to stress

The study was conducted in Indiana Aerospace
University/Indiana Learning Center located at Kagudoy Rd.,
Basak, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines 6015. It is an institution of
learning which offers Basic and Tertiary levels of quality
Education. It is where the investigation started and will soon
ended in the same environment. Details of their phone number
which is (032) 236 2771/505-7445, or fax number (6332) 236-
9788. Their website IAU.com.ph gives more information about
the institution.

Research Respondents
The researchers will conduct an interview and survey with
the following respondents on the table that will help the
researchers collect enough and reliable sources, opinions and
thoughts. With the respondent’s cooperation researchers can
easily study and analyze the following problems about the study
which is written in the statement of the problem.

Research Instrument

In this research study, the researchers used two of the
following instruments namely:
a. Online Surveys
b. Survey Questionnaires
With these instruments the researchers can gather data
which will be used in finding answers to the research problem
through collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting and
concluding the data for the investigation.
Research Procedures
First, a discussion was done by Sir Jason D. Baguio, the
research teacher talked about the similarities and differences
between Research 2 and Research 3; afterwards the researchers
had a brainstorming to formulate three titles together with its
problems. The researchers then passed the three titles to the
research teacher for him to check it and approve. The
researchers then selected the title for the research paper. After
selecting the title, a recapitulation was done by Sir Jason D.
Baguio to remind the researchers on the similarities and
differences between the past and the present research and in
what to do in the research paper. The researchers then precede
to Chapter I of the research paper and passed it to the research
8
teacher to check the papers and to correct what is needed to be
corrected. The researchers will then proceed to Chapter II which
is the research methodology of the research paper and let the
research teacher check it for corrections. Next, the researchers
will make a questionnaire for both the survey and interview
which will be produced into copies, for the researchers to
conduct the gathering of data in the chosen research
environment. After the Chapter II, next is Chapter III, which is
the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the gathered
data. Following the Chapter III is the Chapter IV in which the
researchers will summarize the collected data of the researchers
from their survey and interview, the researchers will then give a
conclusion and recommendations from data collected.
Statistical Treatment of Data
These are the following formulas involved:
Formula in getting the weighted mean:
WM= (∑fw)
(N)
WM – Weighted Mean
N – Total number of respondents

f – Frequency
x – Ratings
∑fx - Summation of the productof f and x

Scoring Procedures
The researchers have chosen the respondents and decided
to use specific statistical tool for the fifty respondents needed for
the study who will share their ideas and opinions to broaden the
learning of the researchers in solving the research problem. The
12
researchers used weighted mean as the statistical treatment of
data.
The data gathered will be interpreted and analyze using
the following categorical response.
