Abstract

Bullying behaviour has remained a global issue with far-reaching consequences on their psychological well-being, social relationships, and academic performance among victims. Studies linking personality traits and self-esteem on bullying behavior within specific cultural contexts are lacking. Therefore, this study examined the predictive ability of personality traits and self-esteem on bullying behaviour among in-school adolescents in Ibadan North Local Government Area. Cross sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study location. Data were collected from 387 participants using validated scales and analyzed using multiple regression analysis and independent samples t-test to test two hypotheses that were accepted at p < 0.01 level of significance. The result demonstrated that personality traits and self-esteem jointly predicted bullying behavior among study participants [R² = .082, F(6, 380) = 5.66, p < .01]. In addition, the results revealed that agreeableness (β = .24, t = 4.58, p < .01) and conscientiousness (β = -0.12, t = -2.37, p < .01) independently predicted bullying behavior among study participants. However, self-esteem, extraversion, openness to experience and neuroticism did not independently predict bullying behavior among study participants. The novelty of the study is that it is the first time bullying behaviour is studied in a specific cultural milieu in Ibadan. It is recommended that a comprehensive, personality-focused anti-bullying programs be designed and implemented to reflect the cultural and educational contexts among in-school adolescents.

Abstract

Parenting is a multifaceted journey filled with joys, challenges, and responsibilities that significantly affect the well-being of both parents and children. Studies that investigated parenting styles have used different predictors with results giving varied results. This study examines the predictability of perceived parental stress and emotional intelligence on parenting styles among married couples in Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Data were collected from 393 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using t-test of independent samples and multiple regressions. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The results revealed that perceived parental stress and emotional intelligence jointly predicted parenting styles [R2=.06, F(5,392)= 4.58, p <.05]. In addition, the result indicated that regulation of emotional appraisal (β = 15, t = 2.45, p <.05) and use of emotion (β =.15, t = 2.58, p <.05) dimensions of emotional intelligence independently predicted parenting styles. Finally, gender significantly influenced parenting styles [t(391)= 2.11, p <.05] such that male participants reported higher perceived parenting styles (M= 91.37, SD = 22.49) compared to their female counterparts (M = 87.22, SD= 16.29). The study concluded that perceived parental stress and emotional intelligence are strong predictors of parenting styles among study participants. It is recommended that stress management programs should be put in place to help parents reduce stress levels to improve their ability to provide better parenting care to their children.
