To guide the study two research questions were raised and two corresponding hypotheses formulated. The study, a pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group quasi experiment adopted a 3x2x2 factorial design. A sample of one hundred and twentythree undergraduate students in a Nigerian University participated in the study. A twenty-item Test Anxiety Inventory adapted from Spielberger (1980) was revalidated and administered to the sample to collect data for the study. The internal consistency of the instrument had a Crombach’s alpha value of 0.82. Data collected were analysed using Analysis of Variance statistics and the hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The results revealed statistically significant decreases in te...

The influence of single-sex and co-educational schools on the self-efficacy and emotional intelligence of adolescent girls and boys was also assessed. The study employed a correlational survey research design. The sample of the study comprised three hundred and one secondary school two students randomly selected from an all- girls’ school, an all- boys’ school and a co-educational school. Four research questions were raised and five hypotheses formulated to guide the study. Two instruments, an emotional intelligence scale by Schutte, Malouff, Hall, Haggerty, Golden& Dunheim (1998) and the General Self-efficacy Scale by Shwazer &Jerusalem (1995) were used to collect data for emotional intelligence and general self-efficacy respectively. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean scores and standard deviation we...

Purposive sampling was used to select three Faculties from the fourteen Faculties in the University. Simple random sampling was used to select 427 undergraduate students from the three Faculties to participate in the study. Data on perceived academic stress were collected with the aid of the Perceived Academic Stress Scale (PASS) which was adapted from Bedewy and Gabriel (2015) and re-validated for the study. Data collected for the study were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The perceived academic stress levels of the respondents were compared on the basis of sex, age, level /year of study and Faculty /course of study. The hypotheses formulated for the study were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that male undergraduate students reported higher academic stress level than the females. Undergraduate ...
