This research was conducted to answer the following questions: how men and women perceive catcalling? ; how men feel about doing catcalling?; how women feel about being catcalled?; what are the means men use to catcall another person?; how women respond to catcalling?; how men and women experience catcalling? ; how the general public perceive catcalling?; how the general public feel for the doer/s and receiver/s of catcalling?; how the general public react towards the witnessed catcalling incidents?
This study is a qualitative study that used Interpretative Phenol enological Analysis as a methodology. It intended to understand the perception, feeling and behavior of men (doer), women (receiver), and general public (observer) toward catcalling. The researchers used purposive and snowball sampling to determine the participants. The researchers also used semi-structured interviews as a method of gathering data.
Based on the findings, men perceived catcalling as a natural tendency. They saw catcalling as a means to fun friendship, to find a girlfriend, and to be famous. Moreover, there is incongruence between what men's motives and how it was perceived by others. Men experienced pleasant and unpleasant feelings in doing catcalling. They did catcalling in varying ways, with purpose, and even selected who to catcall. With women, they Perceived catcalling as men seeking attention, a form of objectification, a natural tendency of men, and lastly, a disrespectful/rude act. Most Of them held unpleasant feelings about being catcalled but, other pleasant feelings also arose. Women either responded to catcalling in an active or passive way. When it came to the general public, catcalling was construed in a positive and negative manner. Their feelings toward the doer/s and receiver/s of catcalling ranged from pleasant to unpleasant ones. Also, upon witnessing such catcalling incidents, they opted to respond actively or passively. The result of the research indicates that there is incongruence among men's motives in doing catcalling, how it was perceived by themselves, by women, and by general public. Most of them perceived catcalling as disrespectful/rude. However, it was found out that men did catcalling to express their appreciation of women's physical appearance and also to make friendship, which opposed to the view that their catcalling behavior showed rudeness.
