Item Sexual victimization among University of Benin fresh female students: intervention implication(Department of Counsellor Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2016) Ofole, N. M.; Agokei, S. P.Sexual victimization against young girls and women has been extensively studied for decades however, little is known about the factors that predispose an individual to sexual victimization. This study therefore adopted a correlational survey design to examine the extent to which parent-child communication, peer pressure and media influence are associated with sexual victimization among fresh female students in the University of Benin, Nigeria. Six hundred fresh female students whose age ranged from 16 to 19 (x =SD=17.65) were drawn using simple sampling technique in three stages. They responded to four standardized self-report measures. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression statistics were used to analyze data at 0.05 level of significance. Result show that parent-child communication has negative relationship with sexual victimization, while peer pressure and media influence were positively associated with sexual victimization. The independent variables accounted for 39% of the total variance in the prediction of sexual victimization. In terms of magnitude peer- pressure made the most potent contribution while media usage made the least contribution. The need to empower parents with effective parent-child communication skills was emphasized among other recommendations.Item Correlates of adolescents' involvement in gambling-related behaviour in Ondo city, Nigeria: advocating educative programmes to curb the act(Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2023) Omoniyi, T. O.The study assessed the correlates of adolescents' immersion in gambling- related behaviour in Ondo city. The study adopted the survey design of correlation type. It will help to understand association between identified variables. The population of the study comprised all adolescents, who are within the age of 13 and 19 years, in Ondo city. Ondo city comprised two local government areas of Ondo West and East. Simple random sampling was used to select 800 adolescents from schools and community centres, while structured questionnaire was developed comprising validated scales to measure Variables- Media Influence r= 0.72; Childhood Experience r= 0.78); Gambling Venue Accessibility r= 0.72; Cognitive Bias r= 0.72; and Peer Influence r= 0.91; were used for data collection. Finding revealed that the rating of gambling-related behaviour among adolescents was high (x?= 2.64:2.5). Also, there are positive significant relationships between adolescents' involvement in gambling behaviour and media influence (r = -.073, p (.040) <.05); gambling venue accessibility (r=-.087*, p (.014) <.05), peer influence (r =. 110**, p (.002) <.05) but had no significant relationship with childhood experience (r = -.032, p (.370) >.05) and cognitive biases (r = -.049, p (. 171) >.05). It is recommended that there is need for implementing comprehensive educational programmes in schools and community to curb media influence, peer pressure as well as indiscriminate siting of betting centres in and around the neighbourhood.Item Parent-child relationship, socio-economic status, peer-pressure and self-esteem as predictors of juvenile delinquency behaviour in Ibadan, Nigeria(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020) Adebowale, T.A.; Adeyemi, A. O.Anti-social behaviours are often associated with juvenile delinquency. This societal menace motivated the investigation of parent-child relationship, parental socio-economic status, peer pressure and self-esteem as determinants of juvenile delinquency among adolescents in Ibadan Metropolis. The study adopted correlational survey design. A randomly selected sample of two hundred and twenty (220) secondary school adolescents was used Two research questions were raised and answered while four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.5 level of significance. Five reliable measuring instruments adapted and validated to form a structured questionnaire were used for data analysis. Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data. The study showed there was a significant relationship between the Independent and Dependent Variables. Multiple regression analysis revealed that: there was a significant joint contribution of Independent to Dependent Variables, the most potent factor was peer-pressure (β=.189, t=2.859, p<.05), followed by self-esteem (β= -.244, t= -3.362, p<.05), parent-child-relationship (β= -.420, t= -5.835, p< .05) and parental socio-economic status (= -.017, t= -.795). This implies that self-esteem and parent-child relationship will reduce juvenile delinquency by 24.4% and 42% respectively while peer-pressure will increase juvenile delinquency by 18.9%. It was therefore recommended that school administrators should constitute a disciplinary committee to checkmate social menace and discipline offenders in the school; Federal Government could build correctional homes to rehabilitate delinquent adolescents for reformation to be useful to themselves and the society at large.Item Adolescents’ premarital sexual behaviour: the roles of peer pressure, socio-economic status and parent-child relationship(2019-01) Adeyemi, A. O.In recent times, there are records of prevalence of mortality among adolescents owing to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unwanted pregnancy, abortion, induced pregnancy and related issues. This disastrous situation is traceable to adolescents' engagement in premarital sexual behaviour. This motivated an examination of peer pressure, socio-economic status, and parent-child relationship as correlates of adolescents’ premarital sexual behaviour. The study adopted descriptive survey design of the ex-post facto type. Three hundred adolescents were randomly sampled from secondary schools in Ibadan South-East Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. Data were collected using reliable instruments (Premarital Sexual Behaviour Scale a-0.87; Parental-Child Relationship Scale a =0.77; Socio-economic Status Scale a =0.73; Peer Influence Scale a = 0.75). Three research questions were raised and answered at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. The study discovered that peer pressure (r = .883, P<0.01), parental socio-economic status (r = -.203, P<0.01) and parent-child relationship (r = -.536, P<0.01) significantly correlated with adolescents' premarital sexual behaviour. Among others, it was recommended that parents should build a healthy relationship with adolescents so as to be able to monitor and guide them against premarital sexual behaviour while school administrators and policy makers should intensify the teaching of sex education in secondary schools in order to acquaint adolescents with the dangers inherent in premarital sexual behaviourItem Correlates of adolescents' involvement in gambling-related behaviour in Ondo city, Nigeria: advocating educative programmes to curb the act(Departmet of Adult Education, Univerrsity of Ibadan, 2023) Omoniyi, T.
