RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter provides the description of the research methodology which
includes research design, locale of the study, sampling technique, data gathering
instruments, data gathering procedures, and statistical treatment data.
Research Design
The research design used in this study is descriptive design which concerned with
describing characteristics of a problem. It is the chosen research design. This is the
most appropriate for the study and it helps to present the experiences of college
students on street harassment.
This research design helps to allow in-depth analysis of variables and elements to be
studied. It enables generation of factual information about the study. This is because the
descriptive design relies much on secondary data which helps in developing the case
based on facts, sustained by statistics and descriptive interpretations from the data
being gathered. This quantitative study will consider correlations between the influences
of catcalling with regards to bullying and academic achievement, self-efficacy and self-
esteem at the college level. This methodology will be accomplished through a survey
sample questionnaire, completed by the college students as provided by the
researchers.

students’ profile enrolled in Northeastern College. The researchers will use a
questionnaire that will be drawn out from previous studies and research for it is proven to
be much more effective on this type of research. The type of questionnaire is rating
scale questionnaire where the research used likert scale to get information from the
respondents. Likert scales are a non‐comparative scaling technique and are
unidimensional in nature. Respondents are asked to indicate their level of agreement
with a given statement by way of an ordinal scale. The researchers will choose students’
answer from questionnaire as the main instrument to collect the data because
questionnaire is the representative for the research to collect the data fast. Additionally,
questionnaire is a written data that could help the research to remain students’ answer
or response.
Data Gathering Procedure
Data gathering procedure is very important on the research because the main purpose
of the research is collecting the data. Because this study was survey research, to collect
the data, the researcher used questionnaire. Survey defined as any procedure in which
data are systematically collected from a population or a sample thereof through some
form or direct solicitation, such as face to face interviews, telephone interviews or mail
questionnaires. Based on that statement, the data collection of this study was
conducted by employing all instruments used through preliminary research, and
students’ answer from questionnaire. The main data was from students, while another
one was a supporting data.

There were some procedures to be followed during the research, in order to find out the
valid data to answer the research problems. The procedures were:
1. The research asked permission to the lecture to ask students’ permission
2. The researcher asked permission to the participants as the subject to do the research

tabulate the data being gathered. They will subject to statistical treatment in order to
answer the questions proposed in the study. The statistical tools employ are the
frequency distribution, percentage, ordinal scale and weighted mean.
1. Frequency distribution is an arrangement of the data which shows the frequency of
different values or groups of variables.
2. Percentage is to be used to determine the proportion of each given data by using the
formula.
% = (R/C) X 100
Where:
% = Percentage
R = No. of respondents
C = total number of cases
Percentage and frequency distribution were used to show the distribution of students in
a particular range with respect to their experiences in catcalling.
