Abstract

This study, a descriptive survey design, investigated the influence of self-esteem on emotional instability among married postgraduate students in Kwara State. The population comprises all full-time postgraduate students in Kwara State. The target population is married postgraduate students. The samples consist of 500 full-time postgraduates. The researcher selected 300 males and 200 females. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. Data were collected using the self-esteem scale and the Perth emotional scale to measure the level of emotional instability among married postgraduate students in Kwara State. The scales were adopted and have already been validated by the authors. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test. It was revealed, among others, that there is a significant difference in emotional instability between male and female respondents. The result further shows that gender has a significant influence on the stability of married postgraduate emotions. The study also revealed that gender has no significant influence on the level of self-esteem among married postgraduate students in Kwara State. It was concluded that there is a gender influence on the emotional instability of married postgraduate students, but there is no gender influence on the level of their self-esteem.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring therapy in reducing bullying behavior among secondary school students in Kwara State. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups, the research aimed to evaluate the impact of the intervention. The study involved two schools for the experimental groups and one school for the control group, with data collected using the Bullying Behaviour Scale (BBS). Results revealed no significant differences in pre-test scores between the experimental and control groups, ensuring baseline equivalence. Following the intervention, a significant reduction in bullying behavior was observed in the experimental group, evidenced by a notable difference between their pre-test and post-test scores. Conversely, the control group showed no significant changes in bullying behavior, highlighting the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring therapy. The findings underscore the potential of cognitive restructuring as a targeted intervention for addressing bullying behaviors in schools. Based on the results, the study recommends that educational stakeholders, particularly guidance counselors, incorporate cognitive restructuring techniques into school-based intervention programs to create a safer and more supportive learning environment. These findings contribute to the growing evidence supporting cognitive-behavioral strategies in addressing bullying and fostering positive student interactions.

Abstract

Marital bonding is a crucial foundation for stable and satisfying marriages, yet many Nigerian couples face challenges such as emotional distance, communication breakdowns, financial strain, and extended family interference. These pressures often erode intimacy and increase vulnerability to marital dissatisfaction, infidelity, or divorce. Against this backdrop, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) has emerged globally as one of the most empirically validated interventions for strengthening emotional intimacy and repairing attachment injuries. However, its application within non-Western, collectivist societies such as Nigeria remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of EFT as a counselling strategy for enhancing marital bonding among Nigerian couples, with a particular focus on married teachers in Kwara State who navigate dual career responsibilities alongside family obligations. This paper employed a conceptual and analytical method, synthesising international and Nigerian literature on EFT, marital bonding, and the socio-cultural dynamics of marriage. The analysis highlighted how EFT principles can be adapted to Nigerian realities shaped by extended kinship systems, evolving gender roles, and religious expectations. The main findings indicate that EFT fosters emotional intimacy, trust, and empathy, making it a culturally adaptable tool for addressing marital disconnection. Nigerian studies affirm that EFT improves emotional regulation, reduces conflict linked to external family pressures, and strengthens communication between partners. The study concludes that EFT not only has universal applicability but also offers unique value when localised to Nigerian cultural contexts. Its contribution lies in demonstrating that counselling models developed in Western settings can be meaningfully adapted to collectivist societies, thereby promoting marital resilience, family stability, and community well-being.

Abstract

Counseling is a helping profession.  It is an essential part of the response to COVID-19 crisis ravaging the entire globe.  The COVID-19 pandemic poses a major threat to the entire world’s economy and health.  The virus garnered heightened attention from the media.  Individuals may have difficulty delineating between misinformation and authentic information about the disease.  Many individuals and the general public are fearful (or may become fearful) of contracting the novel virus. The psychological reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of mental health may include stress, anxiety, depression, fear, uncertainty, panic behavior, the feeling of hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior.  Counselling is one of the most needed services at this period when the pandemic is ravaging the entire globe.   This paper, therefore, highlighted various counseling approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and reframing, solution-focused therapy, meditation and mindfulness, and building emotional resilience for mitigating the psychological reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevant suggestions were made to further mitigate the psychological reactions of individuals.
