Person-centred therapy in the management of pre-retirement anxiety among federal road safety officers in Edo State, Nigeria
(Positive Psychology Association, Nigeria, with headquarters in University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2024-09) Oyedele, M. D.; Adeyemi, A.
Pre-retirement anxiety is a challenge facing about to retire officers. It is a state of fear and uneasiness from active work-life is associated with the Federal Road Safety (FRS) officers. Past studies on pre-retirement anxiety among FRS officers concentrated on causal factors with little intervention studies. This study, therefore, investigated the challenges of pre-retirement anxiety within the context of FRS officers in Edo zone comprising Anambra, Delta and Edo states, Nigeria, with cognisant of their occupational stressors, cultural factors and individual experiences. The study was anchored to continuity theory of retirement, while a mixed methods approach was employed to access anxiety levels and psychological wellbeing as well as qualitative interviews to explore the experiences and perceptions of some of the officers undergoing therapy. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the 30 retiring participants (less than five years) into the groups. Participants with 60% and above score on retirement anxiety screening tool with their consent were used in the study. The instruments used were Pre-retirement Anxiety (α=.90) and Social-support (α =.70) scales. Hypotheses were raised and tested. Data were analysed using analysis of Covariance and Scheffe Post-hoc test @ 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed the effectiveness of PCT in managing pre-retirement anxiety of the officers. There was no interaction effect of treatment, gender and social support on pre-retirement anxiety of the officers. Person-centred therapy was effective in managing pre-retirement anxiety among FRS officers. Counseling psychologists should adopt this intervention when handling issues related to pre-retirement anxiety.
Teaching styles and parental bonding as correlates of academic boredom among undergraduates in Oyo State
(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan and MANEDEC Global Synergy Nigeria Limited, Ibadan, 2024) Adeyemi A. O.
This study investigates the relationship between teaching techniques, parental bonding, and the factors that lead to academic boredom among undergraduates in Oyo State. The study employed a non-experimental design of correlational research type. A total of 250 undergraduates (107 males and 143 females) were randomly picked from three institutions in Oyo State. The age range of the individuals was between 16 and 26 years, with an average age of 16.83. Three assessments with demonstrated validity and reliability were employed to assess teaching styles, parental bonding, and academic boredom. The data was analyzed using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression at a significance threshold of 0.05. The findings indicated a strong correlation between teaching styles and academic boredom (r=0.21; p<0.05), as well as parental bonding (r=0.33; p<0.05). The combination of teaching styles and parental bonding accounted for 20.8% of the Variation in predicting academic boredom. Furthermore, the study found that teaching styles (ß= -0.39, t=-3.66; p<0.05) and parental bonding (ß=0.366, t=4.91; p<0.05) significantly predicted academic boredom. This could prompt the undergraduates to request the necessary educational resources for their studies. Additionally, it could foster a greater enthusiasm for academic tasks, thereby eliminating feelings of boredom. Therefore, itis recommended that parents should prioritize establishing a deep emotional connection with their children and wards.
Psycho-sociological factors predisposing attitüde towards learning among secondary school adolescents in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019) Adeyemi A. O.
This study investigated psycho-sociological factors predisposing attitude towards learning among secondary school adolescents in Oluyole Local Government Area, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design of the correlational type with a random sample of 288 adolescents from secondary schools in Oluyole Local Government Area. Three research questions were raised and answered at 0.05 level of significance using Pearsons’ product moment correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The result showed that peer influence, academic anxiety and study habit were significant correlates of students’ attitude towards learning. Regression analysis revealed that the three variables jointly accounted for 41.2% increase in students’ attitude towards learning. The highest predictor was study habit, followed by academic anxiety and peer influence. Students need to be equipped with adequate academic lifestyle which includes the development of a good study habit and academic firmness against peer influence. Human development units such as school counsellors should be given priority to give them the opportunity to build learners academic, emotional and career destiny through annual and bi-annual programmes as well as one on one counselling. School psychologists are enjoined to expose students found with emotional problems such as academic anxiety to psycho-therapies that can help them to adjust and become better persons. Parents should as well join in the task to build the confidence of the adolescents against academic anxiety; this would go a long way in helping the adolescents fulfill their academic dreams.

Psycho-sociological variables predicting cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West, Nigeria
(Positive Psychology Association, Nigeria with headquarters in Department of Guidance and Counselling University of ibadan, Nigeria., 2018) Olukoya, R.; Animasahun, R.; Oluwole, A.; Busari, O.; Adeyemi, A. O.
The incidence of cultic behaviour such as murder violence is becoming increasing in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The menace of this behaviour remains indelible in the minds of the victims and members of the society at large. In fact it has posed serious problems to parents, guardians, educators and management of tertiary institutions at large. This study therefore investigated psycho-sociological variables in predicting cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. The descriptive research design of the correlational type was adopted. The sample consisted of 1,200 participants from three federal and three State Universities. Data was collected and analysed using Multiple Regression and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy, aggression, drug abuse, parental influence, peer influence, anger and self-esteem and cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. However, gender, age and self-concept were not significantly correlated with cultic behaviour of undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. Recommendations were made that all stakeholders should be watchful and make concerted efforts to nip the manifestation of the behaviour on the bud to curb the menace of this behaviour in the tertiary institutions.
