Chapter 1 INRTODUCTION Our research is about how a person’s socialization changes as he or she gets older. Socialization is the lifelong

process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs and ideologies, providing an individual with the skills and habits necessary for participating within his or her own society. It is the behavioral patterns reinforced by socializing agents of society.

Background of the study Prevailing research suggests that social relationships get better with age, but this evidence is largely based on studies with lengthy reporting intervals. Using an ecological momentary assessment approach, the present study examined age differences in several characteristics of social interactions as reported in near realtime: the frequency, quality and partner type. Participants (N = 173) aged 20 to 79 years reported their social interactions at five random times throughout the day for one week. Results revealed that age was associated with higher frequency of interacting with family and lower frequency of interacting with peripheral partners. These age effects, however, became non-significant after accounting for contextual factors such as race, gender, education, employment status, family structure and living arrangement. In contrast, a curvilinear relationship best characterized age differences in both positive and negative ratings of daily social interaction quality, with middle-aged adults reporting the lowest positive ratings and older adults reporting the lowest negative ratings among all ages. Contextual factors did not account for these patterns of age differences in relationship quality. Furthermore, the intraindividual variability of interaction frequency with peripheral partners, partner diversity, and interaction quality (positivity and

negativity) was lower among older adults than younger adults. Findings from the present study portray a nuanced picture of social interactions in daily life and advance our understanding of social interactions across the lifespan. Because most human behaviors take place in social contexts, interactions with others are among the most important experiences in daily life. From daily social interactions, people obtain knowledge and information, acquire and maintain self-identity, select friends and mates, exchange instrumental and emotional support with others, and also encounter and resolve conflicts with others. Indeed, a growing number of studies provide strong evidence that the quantity and quality of daily social interactions are associated with psychological well-being and a variety of health outcomes for people of different age groups We are not aware of prior research, however, that has systematically examined age differences in important characteristics of daily social interactions, such as frequency, partner type and quality. The primary goal of the present study was to examine age differences in average levels and intraindividual variability of several important characteristics of social interactions in near real-time and as individuals go about their daily lives. In addition, we further explored different sources of age differences in daily social interactions. (e.g., Bernstein, Zawadzki, Juth, Benfield, & Smyth, 2017; Cundiff, Kamarck, & Manuck, 2016; Pauly, Lay, Nater, Scott & Hoppmann, 2017).

Young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the world. As part of this process, pre-teens and teenagers might try out new or different clothing styles, music, art, friendship groups and so on. They might also want more independence and responsibility.During adolescence, teenagers strive to form independent adult identities. Experimenting with different social groups is

one way of doing this. It’s how they can test out being someone new. Belonging to youth subcultures or social groups can also be a way for teenagers to decide what they identify with in the adult world. It gives them a way of exploring new values and deciding how these fit with their family values. Social groups can offer a set of guidelines about how to behave, dress and think. Dressing, behaving and thinking like the rest of a subculture can give them a sense of belonging and identity. And belonging is important for teenage mental health and wellbeing. Also, adolescents want greater independence and responsibility. They increasingly want to assert more autonomy over their decisions, emotions and actions and to disengage from parental control.Their social and cultural environment importantly affects how adolescents express this desire for autonomy. Changes taking place in the adolescent’s environment both affect and are affected by the internal changes of adolescence. These external influences, which differ among cultures and societies, include social values and norms and the changing roles, responsibilities, relationships and expectations of this period of life. These changes affect adolescents in their immediate environment of family, school and community but reflect a range of wider societal changes, including increasing urbanization, globalization and access to digital media and social networks.

The main problem with our research is that as the students get older, students have a lot of realizations in life as if the world is shrinking and students are losing interest to communicate with other people what students’ used to do they can no longer do.

the young people now enjoy different gadgets, young people enjoy with their friends young people go to the mall keeping up with the new trends and go to different places, enjoy with our friends, forget the other things ,as time goes by our passions our desires change, lose interest in what young people used before ,until don't realize that it change young people just want to stay indoors spend time with their love ones we just prioritize housework we just pay more attention to ourselves young people don't keep up with the new trends all of them just want to live alone in peace and quiet many things change as you get older like you have activities you can't do like before when you were younger and nowadays many students of my messiah school of Cavite have matured their relationships with different people and many more you can change yourself when the time comes or when you get older.

Speaking of social interaction in a student like me as we age is a serious situation because we spend most of our time on important things and being socially active is not doing well, such as students can't talk to our family because we're busy and only focus on what we're doing such as the school works, and students forget to communicate at times. Outside social interaction is a state of having minimal contact and integration with others, as well as a generally low level of involvement in civic life, and this pandemic is the one that is prohibiting us from being socially engaged. As a student, must maintain relationships and spend time with others to be socially active. It can aid in the prevention of depression, which is common among students.

As we get older we are focused on the future not for tomorrow because we have matured too much and we are losing interest in other activities which is not right because we also need to appreciate the beauty of the world interact with each person let's be around let's be active let's take steps so that we can do what we used to do let's reduce the use of technology let's communicate with our families let's bond with our friends let's be alert to our world life is to short so while we are here in this world do what we have to do.

There is only one possible solution and to interact with people who are experiencing such things that they feel their world is shrinking and that their minds are changing as they get older we can create a way to change their perspectives in life and just because we have matured we will let their world shrink we can survey every house and interview them if there are people who experience this.

Statement of the Problem A social relation or social interaction is a term used in social science to describe any relationship between two or more people, as well as any process involving communicating or response between two or more people. This study aimed to determine the relationship of social interaction when aging, this study sought to answer the following question: a.) What are the effects of ageing on social interaction of the students? b.) What are the factors that causes social changes while ageing? c.) How to evaluate the social interaction of the students while ageing?

Objectives of the Study Any process involving communicating or response between two or more individuals is referred to as social interaction. However, as people get older, they become more vulnerable to things like decreasing social engagements. The purpose of this research was to examine what happens to the social relation of aging people; experience less social interactions, experiencing lower frequency of interacting with peripheral partners, higher frequency of interacting with a family of the students in My Messiah School of Cavite. Specifically, this study sought to: a.) To determine the effects of social interaction due to ageing. b.) To identify the factors that causes social changes while ageing. c.) To evaluate social interaction of students while ageing.

Significance of the Study This part of the study will be undertaken to find the Effects of Aging on Social Interaction of G12 students in My Messiah School of Cavite and to know who would beneficial to this research.

Students- This study was primarily conducted for students who are having an effect of aging on social interactions to better understand the consequences of having less/low interaction as we progress through the "maturity" stage of life. It was also carried out in order for them/us to understand the positive and negative effects of it in daily life, particularly in terms of social relationships. Because most students are aware of and experience the changes and upgrades in their social status, we/they are the first and primary beneficiaries and users of this research. We also include the benefits for those students that not yet getting through this maturity stage, so they are aware in future situation and for them to understand it also.

Family and Friends - This research can also benefit family and friends who are close to anyone who is having an effect on social interactions by allowing them to understand what the person's point of view is on you having luck with

social interactions with them, as well as informing them about why/how aging has an effect on a person's social life.

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE INTRODUCTION This chapter present effects of aging on social interaction of the students, different factors that causes changes while aging, Evaluating social interaction of students. Aging Aging is a gradual, continuous process of natural change that begins in early adulthood. During early middle age, many bodily functions begin to gradually decline. People do not become old or elderly at any specific age. Traditionally, age 65 has been designated as the beginning of old age.

Foreign Literature According to Katrina P. & Kerry A. S. 2014 (p.99-104). Positive attitudes towards the aged and expectations of the ageing process have been recognized as important drivers of healthy ageing. Utilizing novel methods previously used to improve attitudes towards older adults, the current article reports the impact of imagined contact with an older adult on expectations of ageing and ageing anxiety compared to a control. Two hundred and one undergraduate students were randomly

assigned to one of three conditions; (1) imagined contact with a 75-year-old male, (2) imagined contact with a 75-year-old female, or (3) a control. Results revealed that imagined contact with either an older male or female was associated with more positive expectations of ageing in male participants, both immediately after the intervention and at a four-week follow-up, compared to the control. No such results were found for female participants. Among male participants, the relationship between imagined intergenerational contact and expectations of ageing was mediated by ageing anxiety, indicating that males in the imagined contact conditions experienced significantly better expectations of ageing through reduced anxiety about ageing, compared to the control. No indirect effect of ageing anxiety on the relationship between imagined intergenerational contact and expectations of ageing was found for female participants. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research will be discussed. Overall, the findings of the current study suggest that imagined contact may be an efficacious alternative for decreasing ageing anxiety and for producing more positive expectations of ageing when the opportunity for direct contact is unavailable. Social Interaction A social interaction is an exchange between two or more individuals and is a building block of society. Social interaction can be studied between groups of two (dyads), three (triads) or larger social groups. Symbols are used to communicate the expectations of a given society to those new to it.

Local Literature According to Rowena L. E. & Allan B.D. 2013 (p.77-90). With the growing number of older adults becoming a global concern, many countries have focused on education as a means of promoting successful aging. Although third age learning is gaining substantial ground in other countries, it is not well-established in the Philippines. The overall intent of this experimental study was to assess the effectiveness of community-based third age learning programs on the life satisfaction, self-esteem, and level of depression of a select group of Filipino elderly in a community setting. A pre- posttest study design was used on 40 community dwelling Filipino elderly who were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. Both groups accomplished the Life Satisfaction Index for the Third Age Short Form (LSITA-SF), Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale (RSES), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The experimental group was exposed to a four-month program consisting of wellness, physical fitness, and livelihood training activities facilitated by volunteer faculty from a local university; the control group received no intervention. The results of t tests showed statistically significant group differences between the experimental and control group, with the former posting higher life satisfaction, self-esteem, and lower depression level compared to the control According to Rowena L.
