    This study was carried out to examine parenting styles and social media use as predictors of Social Studies students' value acquisition. Five hundred students were randomly selected from 10 secondary schools (five private and five public schools). Three research instruments, namely; Scale of Parenting Style r= 0.78; Students' Social Media Use Questionnaire r-0.77; and Students' Value Acquisition Scale r=0.71 were used. Finding shows that authoritative parenting style has direct link with student's value acquisition while other variable may rely on some predictors to have direct links. All the five independent variables accounted for 15% joint contribution to students' value acquisition. The findings also revealed relative contribution of authoritative parenting style to students' value acquisition. It is recommended that authoritative parenting style should be employed in raising children to learn how to think and make responsible choices. There is the need to discourage negative use of social media by secondary school students both at home and in school.

    (Department of Mass Communication Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, 2017-04) Alonge, A. J.; Kiai, W.; Ndati, N.
    The study examined the perceived effectiveness of social media on HIV and AIDS communication among undergraduates in southwest Nigeria. Data was obtained through the administration of 355 copies of structured questionnaire to respondents in University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Ibadan. Data obtained was analysed using tables, simple percentages and bivariate regression analysis. The results showed that awareness of social media enabled 71.3% of the respondents to use social media sites. Out of this percentage, it enabled 27% to interact; 25.1% to exchange ideas, 11.3% to be informed on HIV and AIDS, and 7.9% stated increased knowledge on HIV. The result further showed that 90.7% of the respondents stated that HIV and AIDS information on social media platforms was very useful. Result showed that 23.7% of the male and female respondents had sexual intercourse 3 months ago, out of this, 10.2% used a condom (s), while 13.5% did not make use of condom. Despite this high level of awareness, regression result showed that sharing of HIV and AIDS information on social media did not have significant influence on condom use (F = 2.586, p>0.05). The study suggested that HIV and AIDS communication on social media should prioritize basic messages such as encouraging use of condoms and other prevention methods.
