Chapter 5

Presentation, Data Analysis and Interpretation of Data

In this chapter, all the data analysis, results and findings that the researchers had after all the generated data

had been collected will be discussed. It will start from tabulating until the interpretation of the results. All of the

results of the data gathered, analyzed and interpreted will also be discussed in this chapter, in order to provide a

more comprehensive and organized explanation.

The data generated from the study: Each of the movie are watched three times in order to generate

the needed data. Each specific statement problems were separated and placed tables. Each table contains the titles of

each film per column. Then the generated facts were written one by one in each movie. This is also done in the rest

of the specific problem statements. After the all the needed data were gathered each situation (with the Characters of

the movie) in every movie where identified according to its similarities and differences. Then each situation was

discussed and explained in accordance with the Review of Related Literature Materials and Theory and became the

basis for the conclusions and recommendation.

In frame number4, Medy has been giving birth to her youngest, named Queenie. The doctor was come to

tell that Queenie is suffering from illness called “wet lungs”, but it will not affect either her growth or development.

So, Medy will need money for medications for her daughter.

days, and aside from being Medy was her favorite make-up artist, she convinced again Medy to earn money for her

daughter’s medication. Aside from the talent fee, there will be another thirty dollars per diem. So Medy just made a

computation, which she will be possibly earn a greater amount.

between Life Mates & Female Peers? Fingerman shared the same ideas as Rosenberger. She said, "In many cases,

the same situations that underlie pleasure also contribute to tensions. Mothers and daughters face the task of

balancing their desire for intimacy against their needs for autonomy". This pertains to that even though how close a

Mother and Daughter relationship was there will be instances where this maternal relationship can be affected by

what is happening around them.

Major Findings:

There are primarily five communication situations the Mother and Daughter in the films often engage in

namely: saying goodbyes, Confiding, Exchange of Messages and lastly, Problems, Issues, Misunderstanding, and

Arguments.

The difficulties in communication the working Mothers and Daughters experience when

Difficulty #4 Closedness

“A Study on the Internal Dialectic Tensions between working Mothers and Daughters as depicted in the selected films Inang Yaya and A Mother’s Story” Page 143

Researchers defined Closedness as in what topics both working Mothers and Daughters often hinders

communication.

Major Findings:

There are four major aspects of the difficulties in communication the working Mothers and Daughters

experience when communicating with each other in the films Anak, Inang Yaya and A Mother’s Story.

Commonality and Comparison of the situations can be observed that happened in the three films. Namely:

Connectedness, Separateness, Openness and Closedness.

Each of the four difficulties in communication was based by the researchers in the Internal Dialectic

Tensions. The Commonality and Comparison of the situations can be observed that happened in the three films.

Connectedness by means of telephone calls was seen in Anak, Inang Yaya and A Mother’s Story.

Separateness by means of nature of job or work and limited means of communications was observed in the

films Anak, Inang Yaya and A Mother’s story.

Openness often appears in situations like sharing concerns and forgiveness.

An Excerpt of a research entitled How Does the Mother-Daughter Relationship Affects Communication Between

Life Mates & Female Peers? Fingerman shared the same ideas as Rosenberger. She said, "In many cases, the same

situations that underlie pleasure also contribute to tensions. Mothers and daughters face the task of balancing their

desire for intimacy against their needs for autonomy". This pertains to that even though how close a Mother and

Daughter relationship was there will be instances where this maternal relationship can be affected by what is

happening around them.
