Resource Title Hubadera clothing phenomenon: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of self-professed hubaderas’ experiences, behaviors, motivations, and value orientations
Date Issued 26 August 2020
Abstract Hubadera is popularly described in popular media as “a girl that wears ‘revealing’ clothes” (Perez, 2017). The research observes that theHubadera clothing phenomenon prevails in the time of generation-Z and amidst a traditional, Catholic society.
The study’s objective is to describe the Hubadera clothing phenomenon through self-professed hubaderas’ lived clothing experiences by identifying themes and interpreting them through theories of self-presentation motivations, clothing motivations, and value orientations. The study used the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) by combining the detailed description of a phenomenon with an interpretative account (Larkin, Watts, & Clifton, 2006). Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, only the first phase, focusing on contextualization, was implemented in this IPA study.
Six (6) respondents were purposively selected for the study. Each was treated as an individual case and analyzed collectively through which nine major themes and their sub themes were identified. A major finding was that majority of respondents defined the term hubadera through its root word hubad which means “naked”. Hubadera’s fluidity and range or extent is affected by many factors, the most influential one being values, both those anchored on the gen-Z value orientation and those on traditional Philippine values. It was found out that hubaderas, as gen-Zers, demonstrate gen-Z behaviors but mirror traditional Philippine values when dealing with institutions and older people, especially those
possessing these values. Recommendations on conducting phase 2 involved asking clarification questions regarding respondents’ phase 1 contextualization descriptions, and further questions that seek to apprehend and clarify the Hubadera clothing phenomenon.
