    Impact of emotional intelligence training on modifying HIV risk perception of road safety personnel in Imo State, Nigeria
    (2011-04) Ofole, N. M.; Falaye, A.
    Road safety personnel in Nigeria are vulnerable to HTV/AIDS due to exposure to infected blood luring rescue operations. Studies have shown that they have low HIV risk perception. Regrettably, there is paucity of research targeting this group in Nigeria. This study investigated the effectiveness of Emotional Intelligence Training (EIT) on modifying HIV risk perception of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Personnel in Imo State, Nigeria. A pre-test-post-test, control group" experimental design with 2x2 factorial matrix was adopted for this study. Fifty male and fifty female with age range of 27 and 32 years (x =23.02; SD-3.7) were purposively drawn from two units of Imo Sector Command. HIV Risk Perception Questionnaire (r=0.84) was the outcome measure. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and t-test were the statistical methods adopted. Two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed a significant treatment effect in comparison with the control Group [F (1, 95) =5.21, P<0.05). Gender did not significantly influence treatment outcomes. The potency of EIT in this study has implications for Psychologists, HCT Service Providers and Health Educators.

    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.

    Effects of Emotional Intelligence and Locus of Control on the Psychological Well-Being of Adolescents with Visual Impairment
    (2011) Ajobiewe, A. I
    Psychological well-being of adolescents with visual impairment has been a source of great concern. Most often, efforts have been focused on academic progress, achievements and performance, with very little attention given to their psychological well-being. The attainment of a good quality psychological well-being of adolescents with visual impairment is observed to be fundamental in order to cope with the challenges imposed on them by their visual impairment. Observably, the documented training programmes on Emotional intelligence and Locus of Control focused on adolescents without visual impairment. This study, on the contrary investigated the effectiveness of emotional intelligence and locus of control training in enhancing the psychological well-being of adolescents with visual impairment in Oyo and Ondo States, Nigeria. A Pretest-posttest, control group, quasi experimental design with 3x2x2 factorial matrix was adopted. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty participants with visual impairment. Ninety-one totally blind and twenty-nine partially sighted adolescents were drawn from three integrated secondary schools purposively selected for the study; junior secondary school classes I and II and senior secondary school classes I and II. They were randomized into the two treatment conditions (Emotional Intelligence and Locus of Control) and the control group. Two instruments – Snellen Scale (Screening Scale) and the adapted version of Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-being (r=0.77) were used. Seven null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance, data were analysed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Duncan post hoc test. There was significant main effect of treatment on the psychological well-being of the participants (F(2,107) = 21.02; p<0.05). The Emotional Intelligence group had the highest post-test psychological well-being mean score (x= 80.0), followed by the Locus of Control group (x=75.1) and then the control group ( x = 61.5). Type of visual impairment had no main significant effect on the participants’ psychological well-being though the partially sighted obtained higher post-test psychological well-being score ( x = 74.9) than those with total blindness ( x =71.1). Gender had no significant main effect on psychological well-being of adolescents with visual impairment. Male participants recorded higher mean score ( x = 72.1) while female participants had mean score ( x = 70.1). Also no significant interaction effects of treatment, gender and type of visual impairment on the psychological well-being of participants were observed.Emotional intelligence and Locus of control training were effective in enhancing the psychological well-being of adolescents with visual impairment. Therefore, the two treatments were recommended for use in managing adolescents with visual impairment. It is recommended that adolescents with total blindness should be exposed to more therapeutic treatments in order to improve on other areas of psychological problems
