    (2018) Adeyemi, A. O.
    In recent tunes, it has been observed that poor knowledge on health state and status has led to high morbidity and mortality. There is prevalence in poor health-information knowledge, ignorance, increased STIS, HIV/AID, risky health behaviour, abortion and the like. The danger posed by poor health knowledge motivated an investigation of the health information-seeking behaviour of adolescents using conscientiousness, self-efficacy and social support as predictors. The study adopted a correlational study with a sample of 200 adolescents randomly sampled from Ibadan North local Government Area of Oyo State. Four reliable measuring instruments were used to collect data. Three research questions raised analysed were using Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that conscientiousness, self-efficacy and social support positively correlated with health information-seeking behaviour. The regression analysis showed that the three factors jointly accounted/or 42.2% of the total variance in adolescent information-seeking behaviour. Social support was found to be the strongest predictor followed by self-efficacy and conscientiousness. Among others recommendations, parents, teachers and significant individuals are enjoined to help students out with their demand to know much about their health status. School counsellors are admonished to help students to build their self-efficacy to help them to he bald enough to seek for health information. The government should also employ school counselors who will assist students to build their personality (conscientiousness) to enhance self-control on their health issues. This might go a long u-«v in reducing self-prescription and misuse of drug

    Correlational indicators of psychosocial adjustment among senior secondary school students in Ogun State, Nigeria
    (Ife Center for Psychological Studies, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, 2017) Adeyemi A. O.
    This study examined correlational indicators of psychosocial adjustment among senior secondary school students in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted the correlational research design. A sample of 700 students' was randomly selected. Reliable instrument was used to elicit the data. The data was analysed using Pearson product moment correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The result revealed that the independent variables significantly correlated with students" psychosocial adjustment. There was a significant joint contribution of the independent variables (sense of coherence, optimism and self-efficacy) to the prediction of psychosocial adjustment. This suggested that the three independent variables combined accounted for 30.4% (Adj.R2= .304) variation in the prediction of psychosocial adjustment. The most potent factor was optimism, followed by self-efficacy. Sense of coherence was not a potent predictor of psychosocial adjustment. This implies that an increased influence of optimism and self-efficacy increases the likelihood of students' psychosocial adjustment. Among others, it was recommended that school counsellors should design programmes that will help students develop adequate psychosocial adjustment skill to cope with the demands of life. School administrators are also enjoined to organize programmes that emphasise the development of self-efficacy, optimism and sense of coherence in students. Keywords: Psychosocial adjustment, Sense of coherence, Optimism, Self-efficacy, adolescent students.

    (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.

    Background: Academic achievement is interestingly an important issue; a fundamental premium upon which all teaching learning activities are measured using some criteria of excellence e.g. good academic performance, poor academic performance and academic failure. Aims: This study examines locus of control, interest in schooling and self-efficacy as predictors of academic achievement of Junior Secondary School Students. Sample: The sample of the study consisted of 500 students comprising 300 boys and 200 girls. These were selected from twenty-five secondary schools through stratified random techniques. The stratification factor used was the class of the students. Method: An ex-post-facto research design is adopted. Three independents variables (Locus of Control, Interest in schooling and self-efficacy) with the dependent variable (academic achievement) are measured with relevant standardized instruments. Two research questions are developed and answered. Results: The results indicate that locus of control, interest in schooling and self efficacy jointly and relatively contribute significantly to the prediction of academic achievement of the Junior Secondary School Students. Conclusion: Based on these findings, the simultaneous need to continuously stimulate the interest of the students and teach them time management, and for teachers to see all the three variables as equally important and to help students improve on them was emphasized.

    Psycho-physiological factors as predictors of sport prominence and excellence among student-athletes in southwestern, Nigeria
    (His Lineage Publishing House, 2017) Jaiyeoba, M. O.
    This study investigated psycho-physiological factors as predictors of sport prominence and excellence among student-athletes in Southwestern, Nigeria. Psychological factors are goal setting and self-efficacy, while physiological factors are muscular strength, muscular endurance and body composition. Expost-facto research design was used for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 1604 university athletes matriculated students who have represented the institutions in NUGA. The instruments used were Goal Setting in Sport Questionnaire (GS1SQ), Sport Self Confidence Questionnaire (SSCQ), ICHPER.SD Children/Youth Fitness Test. Five hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using inferential statistic of regression. The combined effect of the independent variables (both psychological and physiological factors) yielded coefficient of R2: 0.43 and 0.46 respectively and this translated into 43% and 46% of the total variance on sport prominence and excellence. The F-value (F(3.1600) = 25.49. P< 0.05) was found to be significant. Four out of five independent variables tested had significant contributions (P< 0.05): goal setting (fi = .18, t=6.68), self-efficacy (fi =.058, t= 2.19)f muscular strength (β =.06, t=2.07) and muscular endurance (β = . 19, t=6.94) to sport prominence and excellence. However, body composition had no significant contribution. Based on the result of the findings, it was recommended that both psychological and physiological factors intervention support be given student-athletes in order to enhance sport performance, prominence and excellence
