Abstract

The study investigates emotional intelligence as a predictor of academic stress management among undergraduate students. A descriptive research design was used. Two purposes and two research hypotheses guided the study. The target population was all the undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education. Purposive sampling was used to select two Departments and 100 participants were selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Two different instruments were adapted for data collection titled Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and Student Academic Stress Scale (SASS). A pilot study of 25 undergraduate students was used to test-retest within three weeks intervals to test its reliability. The Cronbach's Alpha for Internal Consistency Reliability was 0.78 and 0.85, respectively. Data collected were analyzed using percentages, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Statistics (PPMS), and a t-test statistical tool to test null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance were used. The study discovers that there is a significant gender difference in academic stress management between male and female undergraduate students at Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin-Nigeria. The result shows that there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic stress management among undergraduate students at Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin-Nigeria.

Given this, the present study looked into the Demographic Factors Influencing Truancy Behaviour among Secondary School Students in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State. Method: The study used descriptive survey design with a multi-stage sampling procedure which involved purposive, stratified, and simple random methods. The research involved a total of 400 participants. The "Truancy Behaviour Scale (TBS)", was adapted to gather pertinent data. The instrument underwent validation by five seasoned lecturers specializing in Guidance and Counseling Educational Management and Test and Measurement. To assess the instrument's reliability, the researcher utilised the test Split-half method, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.74. Demographic data was analyzed with frequency counts and percentages, and the four hypotheses formulated were tested using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of 0.05. The findings show that demographic variables of student, family and school contributed significantly to truancy behaviour. The four null hypotheses tested in this study indicate that there was a significant difference in the demographic factors contributing to truancy behaviour among secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, based on gender and family type (t = 2.88, p <0.05); (t = 2.56, p <0.05). Nonetheless, no significant differences were found based on the respondents' age and religion.

Abstract

Age is a critical factor in parenting, as parenting styles and attitudes can vary significantly across different age groups. Psychological well-being encompasses an individual's emotional health, life satisfaction, and overall mental state. The study examined age and psychological well-being as predictors of Male Child Parenting among married adults in Kwara State. A descriptive survey was used. The study was conducted on 384 married adults in Kwara Central Senatorial District, Kwara State, using a self-designed questionnaire called "Age and Psychological Wellbeing as Predictors of Male Child Parenting Questionnaire (APWDMCPQ). The questionnaire was validated by experts and its reliability was established through pilot testing using the Split-half method. The results were correlated using Spearman-Brown Correlation Coefficient Statistics (PBCCS) with a reliability index of 0.76. The study used mean and standard deviation to present answers to research questions, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistics to test hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The study show that there is a significant effect of age on male child parenting (F.cal.=25.60, p.<0.05). The study found that there is no significant effect of psychological well-being on male child parenting (F.cal.=3.34, p.>0.05). The study found that age significantly impacts male-child parenting, but parental psychological well-being doesn't significantly affect it. It recommended that married adults aged 25-35 and 36-45 should seek counselling to develop appropriate parenting skills. Additionally, they should be educated on coping mechanisms to withstand the pressure of parenting male children, improving their psychological well-being and enabling effective male child parenting.
