Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) affects several aspects of life. While AI has positive impacts, it also leads to adverse impacts such as the rise of gadget addiction and cybercrime. This study investigated the role of perceived usage of the conversational GPT-4 AI model in cybercrimes and social media addictions among residents in Makurdi Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey involved 200 participants who used the latest conversational GPT-4 AI model in their smartphones. Participants were selected using convenience sampling techniques. The results revealed a relationship between the usage of the conversational GPT-4 AI model and cybercrime incidence (R=0.255, R2=0.065, F(1, 189)=13.223, p< 0.01). The baseline usage of the conversational GPT-4 AI model was also found to significantly predict an increase in social media addictions (R=0.434, R2=0.188, F(5, 195)=24.147, p<0.01). The study also revealed that the usage of the conversational GPT-4 AI model was significantly associated with an increase in both cybercrime and social media addictions (R=0.474, R2=0.226, F(2, 185)=5.991; p<0.01). Based on the study’s findings, there is a need to develop and deliver educational programs to inform users about the responsible use of AI technologies, including the GPT-4 model.

Abstract

While various theories provide valuable insights into adolescent behavior, they do not fully account for the complex interplay between family dynamics and religious affiliations as a dual system influencing it. This study investigated the influence of religious affiliations and family dynamics in reducing substance abuse among adolescents aged 15-25 years. Using an ex post facto research design, a sample of 400 adolescents was drawn through purposive sampling. Standardized scales were employed to measure religious engagement, family dynamics, and substance abuse behaviors. Data were analyzed using linear regression for the first two hypotheses and multiple regression for the third hypothesis. The results showed that family dynamics significantly predict substance abuse reduction among adolescents (R = 0.464, R² = 0.216, F(1, 398) = 109.151, p < 0.001). Additionally, religious affiliations were found to significantly contribute to substance abuse reduction (R = 0.544, R² = 0.296, F(1, 398) = 167.482, p < 0.001). When combined, family dynamics and religious affiliations also significantly predict substance abuse reduction (R = 0.593, R² = 0.352, F(2, 397) = 107.246, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that religious organizations should actively engage adolescents in activities that promote healthy lifestyles and encourage health-seeking behaviors when addiction is identified. Also, communities should encourage adolescents to participate in youth religious groups, which offer peer support and mentorship grounded in faith-based principles.

Abstract

This study investigated work climate and organisational politics as predictors of organisational commitment among employees of Benue State University, Makurdi. Employing an ex-post facto research design, three hypotheses were formulated, and a sample of 187 participants completed the Organisational Climate Questionnaire (OCQ), Perceived Organisational Politics Scale (POPS), and Organisational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). Data analysis involved regression and multiple regression techniques. Hypothesis one, positing that work climate significantly influences organisational commitment among Benue State University staff, was supported (R =.185, R2 =.034, F(1,177) = 6.229, P <.05). Hypothesis two, which suggested that organisational politics significantly affects organisational commitment, was also supported (R =.629, R2 =.396, F(1,181) = 117.960, P <.05). Additionally, Hypothesis three, indicating a joint influence of work climate and organisational politics on organisational commitment, was affirmed (R =.632, R2 =.400, F(2,173) = 56.950, P <.001). Recommendations derived from the findings include prioritising employees commitment to enhance productivity, mitigating favouritism within the organisation to facilitate effective task execution, and empowering managers to assess and improve work climate, thereby fostering a motivating environment conducive to ongoing performance enhancement.
