Item 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.Item Rational emotive behavioural therapy for enhancing social-emotional well-being of adolescents in Nigeria(Positive Psychology Association, Nigeria with headquarters in Department of Guidance and Counselling University of ibadan, Nigeria., 2020-09) Adeyemi A. O.This study utilized Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) in enhancing social emotional well-being among in school adolescents with the moderating effect of gender. The study adopted a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design with a 2x2 factorial matrix. Two public secondary schools were randomly selected among secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. Twenty-eight (29) participants with low self- esteem and socio-emotional well-being were partially randomised into REBT (14) and control (15) groups. The Intervention lasted eight weeks. The participants were screened and recruited based on scores falling below average on self-esteem scale and socio- emotional well-being scale. Three hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Bonferonni Pairwise Comparison. There was a significant main effect of treatment on the socio-emotional well-being of the adolescents with low self-esteem (F (1, 24) = 49.971, p< 0.01, partial η2 = 0. 676). The participants in the REBT group had higher socio-emotional well-being (ẋ=44.27) than those in the control (ẋ=26.04) group. Among the participants in the REBT group, the male participants had higher (ẋ=39.42) score on socio-emotional well-being than their female counterparts (ẋ=30.89). There was no significant two-way interaction effect of treatment and gender on socio-emotional well-being of adolescents with low self-esteem (F (1, 24) = 0.009, p>0.05, η2=0.00). This implies that gender did not significantly moderate the effect of treatment on socio-emotional well-being of adolescents with low self-esteem. Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) was effective in the improvement of socio-emotional well-being of adolescents with low self-esteem. Psychotherapist in various educational settings should conduct continuous diagnosis among adolescents with unusual emotional display or withdrawal disposition. Teachers and parents should always refer adolescents going through emotional trauma or issues to the counsellor in Charge.Item Psychological functioning of working on single mothers: correlational effects of childhood truama, emotional resilence and socio-economic status(Department of Social Work, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2021-06) Adeyemi A. O.Motherhood confers upon the female gender the responsibility of raising children. However, the absence of the paternal role could create an overwhelming effect on working among single mothers leaving them with huge economic and psychological burden to bear. This motivated an examination of the psychological functioning of working on single mothers, considering the correlational effect of childhood trauma, emotional resilience and socio- economic Status. This study adopted correlational research design. A sample of 268 working single mothers was randomly selected from three local government areas (Akinyele, Ibadan North and Ido) in Ibadan, Oyo State. Four reliable measuring scales (Psychological functioning Scale; α = 0. 740, Childhood trauma scale; α = 0.781, Emotional resilience scale; α = 0.736, Socio-economic Status; a = 0.792) were adapted, validated and used for data collection. Pearson product moment Correlation (PPMC), multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The study revealed that psychological functioning of working on single mothers negatively correlated with emotional resilience (r= -0.309, p<0.05), childhood trauma (r= -0.402, p<0.01) and social economic Status (r= -0.202, p<0.01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the most potent predictor of working on single mothers’ psychological functioning was emotional resilience (ß =.524, t = 10.241, P<0.001), socio- economic Status (ß = .222, t = 4.507, P<0.01), followed by childhood-trauma (ß = -.127, t = - 2.467, P<0.01).It was recommended that employers include diagnoses of employees' childhood trauma Status as part of the Job selection procedure to identify candidates who need urgent psychotherapeutic Intervention. Working single mothers should be counselled to find better Jobs or combine jobs with businesses to boost their socio-economic Status. Also, the working single mothers should be encouraged to boost their emotional resilience by being optimistic, getting social Support and having resilience role model.
