Abstract

This study examined the predictive influence of peer pressure and parenting styles on gambling behaviour among adolescents in selected secondary schools in the Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, involving 200 in-school adolescents randomly selected from four secondary schools located in Ijebu-Igbo, Oru, Awa-Ilaporu, and Ago-Iwoye. Data were collected using a structured instrument titled Peer Pressure and Parenting Styles as Predictors of Gambling Behaviour among Adolescents Questionnaire (PPSPGBQ). Content validity was established by experts in clinical psychology, while reliability analysis yielded Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.86, 0.93, and 0.94, indicating strong internal consistency. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted to test the study hypotheses. Findings revealed that peer pressure significantly predicted gambling behaviour among adolescents, and that peer pressure and parenting styles jointly predicted gambling behaviour. Peer pressure emerged as the stronger predictor of gambling tendencies. The study underscores the need for targeted preventive strategies, including workshops, seminars, and school-based interventions, to mitigate the growing risk of gambling among adolescents

Abstract

Nigeria has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination is a key strategy. However, the country faces vaccination hesitancy, poor risk perception, and low acceptance. This study aimed to assess the direct and interactive impacts of COVID-19 vaccine risk perception and acceptability on COVID-19 vaccination attitudes in the general Nigerian population. In a cross-sectional approach, participants completed a structured questionnaire including demographics, COVID-19 vaccine risk perception, acceptance, and vaccination attitude from April 2-30, 2021. The sample included 1,026 participants from different ethnicities across four regions (Southwest, South, Southeast, and North Central) in Nigeria, which were selected using the convenience sampling method. Multivariate analysis of variance results showed that the COVID-19 vaccine’s risk perception and acceptability have separate and interactive effects on overall vaccination attitudes. Interactively, individuals with high-risk perceptions and low acceptance expressed more skepticism about its benefits, were concerned about its long-term body effects, believed more in its commercialization, and preferred natural immunity. Nigerians’ apprehension about COVID-19 vaccination is impacted by their high-risk perception and low vaccine uptake.
