E-commerce has generated a lot of interest across the globe where individuals sit in the comfort of their homes and purchase goods and services. However, study linking youths in many developing countries to the new trend seem to be affected by skepticism. Therefore, this study examines perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking as predictors of online shopping behavior among youths in Ibadan metropolis. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while data were collected from 200 randomly selected participants. Data were collected using validated scales and analyzed using zero-order correlation, t-test for independent samples, and multiple regression analysis to test three hypotheses at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking significantly correlated with online shopping behavior among study participants. Also, the results revealed that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking jointly predicted online shopping behavior. Finally, both perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking independently predicted online shopping behavior among study participants. The study concluded that perceived trustworthiness and perceived risk-taking are excellent predictors of online shopping behavior among those who took part in the study. It is advised that web designers and internet marketers create online shopping platforms that foster confidence and discourage risk-taking in order to attract and retain more online customers.

Studies have examined quality of life among youths using different factors with varied results. Therefore, this study investigated social network and demographic factors on quality of life among youths in Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while a simple random sampling method was used to select five Local Government Areas in Ibadan Greater Municipality (IGM). Data were collected from 355 participants using validated scales and analyzed using multiple regression analysis and independent samples t-test statistics. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p =.001 level of significance. The result revealed that social networks significantly influence quality of life among youths in IGM [t (353) =5.60, p =.001]. The result further showed that demographic factors of age, gender and educational status jointly predicted quality of life among youths in IGM [R2 =. 062, F(3, 350) = 4.578, p = .001]. However, it was only educational status that independently predicted quality of life among study participants (β = -234, t= -4.478, p =.001). It is concluded that social networks and demographic factors of educational status are strong contributors to quality of life among youths in IGM. The study recommended that government and other stakeholders should empower youths with skills and career plans to improve their quality of life.

Data were collected from 278 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression to test a hypothesis which was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The result demonstrates that childhood trauma significantly influenced attachment style among study participants, R2 = .219, F (1, 276) = 28.27, p < .001. Furthermore, the result reveals that childhood trauma independently predicted attachment style among study participants (β = .468, t = 5.32, p < .001).  The study concludes that childhood trauma is a robust predictor of attachment style in the population of study.

The level of commitment to their organizations has been used as a parameter to determine the productivity of such organizations. Studies have used different predictors to determine organizational   commitment with varied results. This study was conducted to examine the predictive ability of organizational climate and emotional intelligence on organizational commitment among workers in a brewery company. Cross-sectional survey design was employed while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Data were conveniently collected from 250 participants using validated scales and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression to test an hypothesis which was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The results revealed that organizational climate and emotional intelligence jointly predicted organizational commitment among study participants [R2 =.051, F(2, 248) = 6.667, p <.001]. In addition, organizational climate (β =.128, p =.004) and emotional intelligence (β = -.186, p =.003) independently predicted organizat ional commitment among study participants. The study concludes that organizational climate and emotional intelligence are robust predictors of organizational commitment. Therefore, human resources managers should provide necessary welfare packages to improve workers’ organizational commitment.
