Abstract

In the field of educational psychology, seeking academic help is a proven success strategy. This study examined the influence of emotional stability, self-esteem, and gender on academic help-seeking among in-school adolescents in Osun state. The descriptive correlational research design was used. The multi-stage sampling method was used by the researchers. Four hundred (400) in-school adolescents were used for the study. The data for this study were gathered using three reliable and standardized instruments: The Academic Help-seeking Behavior Rating Scale (α = .77), the Emotional Stability Scale (α = .88), and Self-esteem Scale (α = .72). The results demonstrated a substantial correlation between academic help-seeking among in-school adolescents and emotional stability (r = .146; p<.05), self-esteem (r = .207; p<.05), and gender (r = .025; p>.05) which was not significant. All the independent variables jointly contributed to academic help-seeking among in-school adolescents. Self-esteem made the most significant contribution (β = .249; t = 5.049; p<0.05) to academic help-seeking followed by emotional stability (β = .198; t= 4.016; p<0.05) and Gender (β = .032; t = 6676; p>0.05). It was recommended that educational psychologists should assist in raising awareness and providing counseling to students who have poor or low academic help-seeking behavior.

Abstract

The study investigated the causal relationship between peer influence, social network usage, gender, and academic performance of senior secondary school students. A descriptive survey research design was used for the study. Both the independent and dependent variables were measured with standardized instruments, which included peer influence factor scale (α = .81), social network questionnaire (α = .78) and student achievement scale (α = .83). The result showed that academic performance has a significant relationship with all the independent variables when put together, with the value of R adjusted = .626 and R2 adjusted = .386; the analysis of variance yielded an F ratio value of 63.62 at 0.05 significant level. In terms of the magnitude of contributions, peer influence made the most with (beta = .554, t = 11.772, p<0.05) followed by social network usage (beta = .168, t = 3.562, p<0.05), while gender had no significant contribution (beta = -.094, t = -2.064, p>0.05). Therefore, it is advised that parents, guardians, and other interested parties be made aware of the consequences of uncultured use of social media among peers and that students be encouraged to make effective and efficient use of their time, especially their free time.
