Abstract
This study was conducted in Bgy. 50, 53, 54, 55, and 56 all comprising Zone 7 of the Sta. Clara District, Pasay City, with a total combined 314 households. Forty heads of the households were reported belonging to SAHFs registered in 2014 in their respective Zone Manager per Barangay. These 40 head of the households, who were identified as being a SAHF served as the main respondents for this study and answered the questionnaires along with undergoing the one-on-one interview with the researcher. The distributions of the participants are such: 8 SAHFs (Bgy.50), 10 SAHFs (Bgy.53), 8 SAHFs (Bgy.54), 7 SAHFs (Bgy.55), and 7 SAHFs (Bgy.56). Correlational analyses revealed that there is no significant relationship between marital satisfaction and paternal salience. The SAHFs’ overall mean score is 7.76 with a std. of 0.0608 entailing that the participants achieved an overall acceptance into the role of their wives and maintain a happy demeanor within their marriage. The participants’ levels of marital satisfaction and levels of paternal salience in terms of its significant relationship revealed a STD of 0.01323 which means that marital satisfaction does not influence paternal salience.
