Abstract

The problems of pro-social behavior among individuals have been in existence from the recorded history. Studies that have investigated pro-social behavior have used different predictors and populations with varied results. Therefore, this study investigated academic stress and resilience as predictors of pro-social behavior among first year undergraduates of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from 219 participants using the Pro-social Behavior Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Resilience Scale. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regressions to test three hypotheses which were accepted at a p < .05 level of significance. The result showed that academic stress and resilience jointly predicted pro-social behavior among study participants [R2 =.10, F (2,216) =11.88, p < .05]. In addition, academic stress (β= -.26, p < .05) independently predicted pro-social behavior while resilience did not independently predict pro-social behavior among study participants (β = .12, p > .05). The study concluded that academic stress is a strong predictor of pro-social behavior among study participants. It is recommended that university management and other stakeholders should organize regular seminars on stress reduction techniques that would encourage activities that would lead to pro-social behavior among undergraduates.

Abstract

Eating behavior has remained a recurring issue for parents, teachers, and the government as children move into their formal level of learning. Studies linking children's eating behavior to parenting styles and self-esteem in a semi-urban settlement in Nigeria are lacking. Therefore, this study examined the influence of parenting styles, self-esteem, and gender on eating behavior among primary school pupils in Lagos, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted while validated questionnaires were used to gather data from 198 parents of pupils of four randomly selected primary schools. Data were analyzed using zero-order correlation, a t-test of independent samples, and a 2 x 2 ANOVA. Four hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The results showed that parenting styles and self-esteem significantly influenced eating behavior among primary school pupils [t(136) = 2.573, p <.05]. Also, the result indicated that parenting styles and self-esteem had significant interaction effects on eating behavior [F(2,134) = 4.732, p <.05]. Finally, gender-differentiated eating behavior among study participants [t (191) =-3.672, p < .05). The study concluded that parenting styles, self-esteem, and gender are strong contributors to eating behavior among study participants. The study recommended that parents, government and other stakeholders should work in synergy to improve the dietary requirements of primary school pupils to prevent malnutrition in the future.

Abstract

Customers are the end goal for every business as they create demand and revenue for the business organization. In order to retain customers, businesses need to identify what customers expect from them. One of the least studied businesses is the paint industry. The study filled this gap in knowledge by investigating perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility as predictors of customer satisfaction among paint buyers in Lagos, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was used, while a purposive sampling technique was utilized to select two local government areas in Lagos State. Data were collected from 274 paint buyers using validated scales and analyzed with a t-test of independent samples and multiple regression analysis. The result indicates that perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility jointly predicted customer satisfaction among paint buyers. Furthermore, perceived product reputation, brand commitment and corporate social responsibility independently predicted customer satisfaction. The conclusion is that perceived product reputation, brand commitment, and corporate social responsibility are robust predictors of customer satisfaction among study participants. The study recommends that paint companies continue to improve their branding policy and corporate social responsibility to retain and capture potential consumers in the paint industry.

Abstract

Organisational commitment remains the backbone of growth and development in for-profit and nonprofit organisations. However, studies investigating organisational commitment in educational sectors have produced different results. Therefore, this study examined the predictability of job satisfaction and self-esteem on organisational commitment among non-academic staff in a Nigerian federal university. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, a purposive sampling technique was used to select one federal University, and a convenience sampling technique was used to select participants to administer the questionnaires. Data were collected from 292 participants using validated scales and analysed using independent samples t-test and multiple regression analysis. At the same time, the hypotheses tested were accepted at a p < .05 level of significance. The result revealed that job satisfaction and self-esteem jointly predicted organisational commitment among study participants [R2 = .05, F (2,291) =7.37, p < .05]. Moreover, the results showed that job satisfaction independently predicted organisational commitment among study participants (β =.22, p <.05). However, self-esteem did not independently predict organisational commitment among study participants (β =.08, p >.05]. The study concluded that job satisfaction more than self-esteem tends to predict organisational commitment among study participants strongly. It is recommended that human resources planning units in higher institutions should put in place robust programmes that would enhance organisational commitment among their employees.

All human activities are geared towards making life more meaningful, and the desire to improve the quality of life has been taken as a fundamental and universal human drive. Studies that investigated quality of life using different predictors have produced varying results. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the predictive ability of perceived social support and health-seeking behavior on quality of life among the adult population in Port Harcourt. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and the study population was selected using a purposive sampling technique. A convenience sampling technique was used to select 254 participants using validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis to test one hypothesis and were accepted at a p < .05 level of significance. The results demonstrated that perceived social support and health-seeking behavior jointly predicted quality of life among study participants [R² = .19, F(2, 252) = 5.956, p < .05], indicating a significant effect on quality of life. The implication of this finding is a wake-up call to public health professionals, community stakeholders, and urban healthcare development authorities to provide social support through empowerment programs and create centers where individuals can access information on health-seeking behavior, thereby improving their quality of life.

Abstract

The increased rate of gambling in our society has become a menace that affects nearly every Nigerian youth, including undergraduates. Studies using different predictors of addictive gambling behavior have produced varying results. Therefore, this study investigated impulsivity, peer pressure, and social media usage as predictors of addictive gambling behavior among undergraduates in Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design using the purposive sampling technique was used to select three universities. Data were collected from 258 undergraduates using validated scales. The collected data were analyzed using zero-order correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result revealed that peer pressure was significantly correlated with addictive gambling behavior. Also, impulsivity, peer pressure, and social media usage jointly predicted addictive gambling behavior. However, only peer pressure independently predicted addictive gambling behavior. The conclusion is that peer pressure is a strong predictor of addictive gambling behavior. The implication of this finding is that parents, university authorities, and other stakeholders should design programmes and policies to reduce peer pressure on problem gambling. KEY WORDS: addictive gambling behavior; impulsivity; peer pressure; social media usage ABSTRAK Meningkatnya tingkat perjudian di masyarakat kita telah menjadi ancaman yang mempengaruhi hampir setiap pemuda Nigeria termasuk mahasiswa.

Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis dengan menggunakan korelasi orde nol dan analisis regresi berganda. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa tekanan teman sebaya berkorelasi secara signifikan dengan perilaku perjudian yang membuat ketagihan. Selain itu, impulsif, tekanan teman sebaya, dan penggunaan media sosial secara bersama-sama memprediksi perilaku perjudian yang membuat ketagihan. Namun, hanya tekanan teman sebaya yang secara independen memprediksi perilaku perjudian yang membuat ketagihan. Kesimpulannya adalah bahwa tekanan teman sebaya adalah prediktor kuat dari perilaku perjudian yang membuat ketagihan. Implikasi dari temuan ini adalah bahwa orang tua, otoritas universitas, dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya harus merancang program dan kebijakan untuk mengurangi tekanan teman sebaya pada masalah perjudian KATA KUNCI perilaku perjudian adiktif; impulsif; tekanan teman sebaya; penggunaan media sosial Copyright ©2024.
