    Psychosocial factors and knowledge of early adolescents’ attitude to HIV/AIDS in Ibadan, Nigeria
    (2009-11) Aremu, A. O.; Adindu, P. A.; Adeyemi, A. O.
    The study investigated the influence of some psychosocial factors (self-efficacy, emotional Intelligence, gender and age) and knowledge on HIV/AIDS attitudes of early adolescents. 240 school-going early adolescents (132 males and 108 females) aged between 10 and 14 years participated in the study. The measured effects of the independent variables using the Pearson r and hierarchical regression statistics indicated a joint relationship of the measures on HIV-AIDS altitudes of early adolescents. Similarly, participants' self-efficacy, El, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and age also influenced their attitudes towards HIV/AIDS. These findings suggest that early adolescents' attitudes towards HIV/AIDS could be improved through the variables investigated.

    The relationship between gender, age, mental ability, anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics
    (Academic World Education & Research Center, 2009) Aremu, A. O.; Tella, A.
    This study examines the relationship between gender, age, general mental ability, anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics among senior secondary school students in Oyo State, Nigeria. Using multiple regression (stepwise) statistical procedures on the data collected from 1,099 SS2 students, results reveal that mathematics self-efficacy, gender and anxiety have significant correlations with student's achievement in mathematics. Mathematics self-efficacy is the best predictor of mathematics achievement followed by gender and anxiety. The need for educational stakeholders and curriculum planners to design programmes that will enhance mathematics self-efficacy of students was discussed.
