This study utilized a descriptive-correlational study and was conducted on 126 adolescents to ascertain the correlation between NSSI and emotion regulation and NSSI as an aftereffect of emotion regulation among adolescents. In measuring the levels of NSSI, the researcher used the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation (FASM) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) for emotion regulation. Results of the study reported low levels of NSSI symptoms with computed mean of 0.65 and SD= 0.51 which includes a mild form of NSSI such as biting oneself and pulling out hair and a moderate/severe form which is hitting oneself on purpose. Moreover, the study revealed high levels of emotion regulation among the respondents with mean=4.71 and SD=1.31. High levels of both cognitive reappraisal (4.83) and expressive suppression (4.57) were found in the study as measured by ERQ. Using Pearson correlation, the study revealed a statistical relationship between NSSI and emotion regulation among the respondents with computed p-value= 0.59. Thus, this signifies an aftereffect of improper emotion regulation and the ability to express emotions. The results are recommended to parents and teachers at the very least, to teach their students how to manage and regulate emotions to alleviate the incidence of NSSI.

The prevalence rate of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt in the Philippines were roughly around one (1) in every ten (10) Filipino youth aged 15 to 27 and one (1) in every twenty (20) respectively. This study determined the relationship as well as the predicting factor of depression, anxiety, and stress to suicidal ideation among senior high school students. These level of depression, anxiety, and stress was determined by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 while the Modified Scale of Suicidal Ideation was also administered to students to measure their suicidal ideation level. The result revealed normal levels of all psychological conditionsdepression: 158 (46.5%), anxiety: 139 (40.9%), and stress: 312 (91.8%) of the respondents out of 340, and the majority of the students reported mild-moderate level of suicidal ideation 118 (34.71%). Results were also supported by the student's responses to items on the tests with the following overall mean: depression (9.06), anxiety (7.11), and stress (9.22) which also falls under the normal level and suicidal ideation (16.78) which can be interpreted as mild-moderate. Single regression analysis revealed that there is a significant relationship between depression, anxiety, stress, and suicidal ideation among senior high school students garnering computed p-values of the following: (1) depression-0.4242, (2) anxiety-0.3616 and (3) stress-0.3742. That is; for every unit increase in depression, anxiety, and stress, the suicidal ideation score was predicted to increase, and "Ceteris Paribus" assume all other things held constant. The results of the study should serve as an eye-opener to parents, schoolteachers, and administrators in providing psychologically healthy surroundings at home and at school. Also, it is called for mental health practitioners to establish intervention plans in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and suicidal ideations experienced by senior high school students.

This includes exams, assignments, the subject itself, and even the social pressures they experience in completing schoolwork, or uneasiness with the idea of studying or working in a group in a classroom setting. This study determined the significant difference between demographic factors and academic anxiety among Filipino senior high school students; these demographic factors include age, gender, and grade level. The demographic factors were determined through a survey while the levels of academic anxiety were measured through the Academic Anxiety Scale (AAS) to 270 respondents. Using mean and standard deviation for demographic factors, results showed that 15-17 years old and 18-20 years old reported moderate levels of academic anxiety while 21-22 years old experienced low levels of academic anxiety. Moreover, in terms of the respondent's gender and grade level, results showed moderate levels of academic anxiety. The level of academic anxiety of the respondents measured by AAS revealed that the majority of them, which consist of 89 (32.96%) reported moderate levels of academic anxiety followed by 83 (30.74%) reported high levels of academic anxiety. Statistical analysis using F-test and t-test revealed that there are significant differences in the demographic factors and academic anxiety among Filipino senior high school students garnering computed p-values of the following: age-0.003, gender-0.001, and grade level-0.016. This means that there are significant differences among the demographic factors of the respondents and the level of their academic anxiety. The results called for senior high school students, parents, teachers, school personnel, and mental health practitioners in providing a community of psychologically healthy environment in school and other areas of life.

This study investigates the correlation between Filipino college students' demographics and self-efficacy, including age, gender, and year level. The demographic factors were identified through a survey while the self-efficacy level was assessed by the General Self-Efficacy (GSE) Scale to 259 Filipino college students within Metro Manila. Using descriptive frequency distribution and percentages, results showed that the majority of the college students were coming from 18 years old to 20 years old which comprised 142 (55%) while in terms of gender, most of the college students were females with 138 (53%). For the year level, the majority of them were coming from the second-year level with 85 (33%). The self-efficacy level of the college students was gathered from the GSE Scale which revealed that the respondents have high levels of self-efficacy with a computed mean of 2.82 and SD= 0.52. To determine the correlation between the demographics and self-efficacy level of the college students, the researcher utilized Pearson chi-square and statistical analysis revealed that there is no correlation between the age, gender, and self-efficacy level of the college students with computed Pearson chi-square value of 39.26 and 12.76 respectively, thus the researcher did not reject the null hypothesis. On the other hand, in terms of year level, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the year level and self-efficacy level of the college students with a computed Pearson chi-square value of 63.30, hence the researcher rejected the null hypothesis. The results are recommended for schoolteachers, counselors, and administrators to implement enhancement or improvement programs for self-efficacy the college students so better academic performance in school can be achieved.
