QUESTION #4
The significant changes of modern
Filipino society in the household
consumption on foods, particularly
FAFH (food away from home).
TOPIC
It is classified as basic
research because it is set
to achieve a better and
more detailed
understanding of the
research subject or
phenomenon, and not to
solve a specific problem
or question.
USAGE
Classify the research based on its purpose.
Is it exploratory, descriptive or explanatory?
It is descriptive because it attempts to
explore and explain a topic and describe
the characteristics of a population. It
collects data that are used to answer what,
when and how questions, but not why
questions.
What are the main premises and arguments of the research?
Consumption incidence of food away from
home among Filipino households has been
increasing monotonically over the years. The
statistics are testament to the phenomenon of
chnging consumer preferences resulting in
remarkable shift in food consumption patterns,
particularly in cities and highly urbanized areas.
ARGUMENTS
What are the main premises and arguments of the research?
Traditional food determinants or variables
affecting the rates include household income, family
size, age composition: household head's
demographics like education and marital status.
Usual demand predictors like age and gender
are insignificant determinants.
ARGUMENTS
What are the main premises and arguments of the research?
Non-traditional factors like employment status
of the homemaker, single member status of the
household head, and number of employed members
contribute significant explanatory influence on FAFH
consumption. But the most powerful drivers of the
phenomenon proved to be the locational
characteristics.
ARGUMENTS
We would say that the
arguments and premises are
strong and valid because they
are backed up by a lot of
data that is gathered by the
researcher using various
data-gathering methods and
models.
