This study is a qualitative research
entitled “Don’t Talk to Strangers” which would embark upon the strength of the
apprehension of Filipino children in terms of recognizing ‘stranger’ and
‘danger’.
The respondents who provided the data
needed in this research were comprised of six (6) male Grade One students and
(4) female Grade Students whose ages are from 6-7 years old and study at a
private school in Quezon City. They were then interviewed by the researchers
and were documented using an audio recorder.
Research shows that half of the respondents
are aware of what a ‘stranger’ is and the potential threat they might bring. It
has also shown that most of the respondents will not accept an offer from a
person they do not know. Moreover, the respondents have claimed that they
receive advices from their parents about the potential risk of interacting with
unfamiliar persons.
After analyzing the data gathered, the
researchers are able to infer that Filipino children have a strong
understanding of the potential danger a ‘stranger’ might bring and that they
are capable of knowing what to do on an actual encounter with a person they do
not know and how to deal in that kind of situation. The researchers have also
concluded that parents are the big factor to children’s grasp of ‘stranger’ and
‘danger’.
For the future researchers of this topic,
50-100 respondents is highly recommended.
