Item Risky sexual behaviours among female in-school adolescents in Delta, Nigeria: self-esteem, parental involvement and religiosity as predictors(2014) Ofole, N. M.; Agokei, S. P.This study adopted descriptive survey design of ex post type to examine the extent to which self-esteem, parental involvement and religiosity predicted risky sexual behaviours among female in-school adolescents in Delta state, Nigeria. Four hundred adolescents whose age ranged from 15 to 19 (SD=17.37) were drawn using Multi-stage sampling technique. Three standardized and one researcher developed self-report measures were used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression statistics were used to analyze data at 0.05 level of significance. Self-esteem, parental involvement and religiosity have negative relationship with participants’ risky sexual behaviours. The independent variables accounted for 30.3% of the variance in prediction of risky sexual behaviour. Self-esteem made the highest contribution to the prediction of risky sexual behaviour of adolescents while parental involvement made the least contribution. The need for Programme designers, sexuality educators, and Counsellors to incorporate these variables into activities to delay sexual debut by adolescents was implied from this outcome.Item Psychosocial determinant of creativity among secondary school students in Saki, Oyo State, Nigeria(2014) Ofole, N. M.; Ezeokoli, R. N.Correlational research design was adopted to examine the extent to which psychosocial factors predicted creativity among secondary school students in Saki, Oyo State, Nigeria. Six hundred and seventy-seven respondents (female=312; male=365) whose age ranged from 12 to 22 with mean age of 5.17 drawn using multistage sampling technique participated in the study. Three research questions guided the study. Data collected using Animashaun (2007) was analyzed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression at 0.05 level of significance. Results show that emotional intelligence and parental involvement have positive relationship with creativity level (r= 0.194, P<.05) and (r= 0.172, P<.05) respectively, while peer group influence has negative correlation with creativity level. The three independent variables jointly accounted for 21.2% of the variance in the prediction of creativity. There is need for teachers, parents, counselling psychologists and other stakeholders to design activities and leaning experiences that will make new ideas are to be generated, developed and transformed into value.
