Abstract: AURE, JOHN RHEN U., EYAYA, NANCY JOY B., PEREY, EMMA G. The Psychosocial, Emotional and Academic Behavior of Children with Parent in Detention. Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Social Work, College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Ms. Merlie C. Nahilat. This study was conducted in selected cities and municipalities in South Cavite from July 2014 to January 2015. It aimed to determine the psychosocial, emotional and academic behavior of children with parent in detention. Twenty-five participants were randomly selected for the study from children of imprisoned parents. The said participants were given questionnaires to answer upon. Out of the twenty-five, ten were again randomly selected. To assess the psychosocial, emotional and academic behavior of children with parent in detention, the researchers conducted interviews to the children. Casual talks were conducted as well to the children's remaining parent or guardian, neighbors, friends, acquaintances and school advisers (wherever applicable). In terms of psychosocial behavior, it was found that children with parent in detention were outgoing and exhibited positive psychosocial behavior. They possessed positive outlook which negates whatever adverse effect may have been caused by their predicament. At a young age, the children also showed strong sense of initiative making them already responsible and behave maturely at an early age. On the emotional aspect, the children manifested strong personality which is also a factor of coping mechanism in dealing with the not so usual situation they were into. They possess the ability to direct their feelings to positive direction and managed to accept though gradually, the burden of having a parent in detention. In relation to academic performance, they possess initiative and strong determination to be a better person than what their detractors or critics say of them. Their present predicament, although it slacken them, had somehow made majority of them to strive harder to maintain, if not to surpass, their ranking in class. Such is due, partly, to the determination to survive the odds and partly because of the lessons learned not to repeat the mistakes made by the parent. In the light of these findings, the following conclusions were drawn: That, despite of having a parent in detention, left under the care and guidance of the other one parent, or of other next of kin, who would portray both mother and father to them, these children still managed to manifest positive, outgoing psychosocial behavior. That, these children, though hurt and saddened by their predicament still view the world positively. More so, these children do not exhibit untoward or extremely negative emotional behavior which may have cause destruction to others or to themselves. That, these children still regards the value of education as manifested by their average or above average performance in class notwithstanding the predicament they were into. As for the children who were not in school, their behavior still proved that the academic deficiency is rather caused by financial difficulties and not mainly because of parental imprisonment. These children chose to help the remaining parent to provide for the family over their studies. That these children proved that they possess the values and characteristics which Filipino people are most known for — the strong family ties. Family systems theory, one of the strenghts and theories used in the conduct of this study correlates with it the Filipino saying "ang- sakit ng kalingkingan ay dama ng buong katawan".
