Abstract

The study investigated social intelligence as a predictor of counseling competencies among prospective counselors in public universities in Edo and Delta States. Its aim was to precisely examine the level of social intelligence among these individuals and determine whether it predicts their counseling competencies. Survey research design using the correlational approach was implemented in the study. The population of the study comprised all Master’s students in public universities in Edo and Delta who had completed the practical counseling course. A sample of 81 prospective counselors was used for the study. The researchers used the Tromsꝋ Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and the Counselor Competency Scale (CCS) as research instruments. Data analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and regression analysis. The findings of the study implied the social intelligence level of future counselors was high, and social intelligence significantly predicted counseling competencies of prospective counselors (F=8.021, p< 0.01, R2=0.09).

Abstract

This study investigated the social intelligence and counselling competencies of prospective counsellors and the difference in sexes in Public Universities in Edo and the Delta States of Nigeria. To achieve the objectives, three research questions were raised and one corresponding hypothesis was formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. A survey research design adopting the correlational approach was employed in the study. The population of the study comprised all master's students in public universities in Edo and Delta States in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 sessions who had completed practicum counselling courses. A sample of 89 prospective counsellors was used for the study. The researcher used two types of instruments to collect data, practicum scores were one of the data for this study. The instruments used are the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), and the Counsellors Competency Scale (CCS). The instruments were validated by the researcher’s supervisors and one test expert in the Department of Educational Evaluation and Counselling Psychology. The reliabilities of the instruments were established, using the Cronbach alpha statistics. A reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained for the Social Intelligence scale. Coefficients of 0.81, 0.90, and 0.80 were obtained for knowledge, skills and behavioural sub-scales for the Counsellor Competency Questionnaire. Data analyses were carried out and the hypothesis was tested using Fisher’s-Z test statistics. The study's findings revealed no significant difference in the relationship between social intelligence and counselling competencies of prospective counsellors by sex in public universities in Edo and Delta States.

Abstract

This study examined peer influence and single parenting as predictors of sexual abuse among secondary school students in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated. The correlational survey research design was used for the study. The population of the study is Eleven thousand nine hundred and eighty-five (11985) senior secondary school students in the public and private schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area. The multistage sampling procedure was employed to select 300 students from six (6) senior secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area. The research instrument was a questionnaire titled " Single Parenting, Peer Influence, and Sexual Abuse Questionnaire Scale " was used for the study. The data was analysed using inferential statics (Linear Regression and t-test). It was shown from the findings that peer influence and single parenting both significantly predict sexual abuse amongst secondary school students (p<0.05) and also established that there is a significant difference between public and private schools in their disposition to sexual abuse among secondary school students in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State (T-cal>1.96 & p<0.05). Given the outcome of this study, it was recommended that seminars should be organized for students due to the dangers of indecent dressing and premarital sex, secondary schools should ensure that they have an operational counselling centre and specialised counsellors who can organise individual and group counselling sessions for victims of sexual abuse.
