Abstract

Abstract This study examined assertiveness and emotional intelligence as predictors of marital adjustment among married couples in Greater Ibadan Municipality, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design and used purposive sampling technique to select five local government areas from the Greater Ibadan Municipality. Data were conveniently gathered from 395 participants using Assertiveness Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale. Data collected were analysed using multiple regression and t-test of independent samples to test three hypotheses at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that assertiveness and emotional intelligence jointly predicted marital adjustment among study participants (β = 0.27, F (2, 292) = 38. 52, p < 0.05). Also, assertiveness (β = 0.20, p < 0.05) and emotional intelligence (β = 0.29, p < 0.05) independently predicted marital adjustment among married couples in the study population. However, gender did not influence marital adjustment among study participants. The study concluded that couples’ assertiveness and emotional intelligence are strong predictors of marital adjustment. Therefore, the study recommended that marriage counsellors should assist both potential and old married couples in assertive and emotional training to be able to manage conflicts as it arises in their marriage.

Abstract

Quality of life has remained a recurring theme in research considering it’s important in the overall psychological well-being of the individuals. Several predictors have been used to investigate quality of life among different populations and samples with varied results. Importantly, studies investigating undergraduate quality of life tend to be scarce. Therefore, this study investigated the predictive ability of anxiety and depression on quality of life among undergraduates in Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional research design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select one university in South-west Nigeria. Data were conveniently collected from 400 undergraduates using validated scales and analyzed using zero-order statistics and multiple regression to test four hypotheses which was accepted at p = .001). The results demonstrated that anxiety and depression jointly and independently predicted the physical, psychological, social relationship and environment domain  quality of life among study participants. The study concludes that anxiety and depression are robust predictors of quality of life among the population of study. The study recommended that parents and other stakeholders should work in synergy to reduce triggers of anxiety and depression and provide for the well-being of the undergraduates.
