The study aimed at finding out why on-line registration caused stress for the fresh entrants. Two hypotheses were formulated for the study. Two hundred and thirty-six (236) participants were used for the study. Stress and On-line Registration Questionnaire (SAOLRQ) was used to gather information from the participants. T-test analysis was used to test the hypotheses at 0.01 level of significant. The researcher suggested orientation and knowledge of on-line registration for the fresh entrants by the University management before embarking on admission registration.

University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg.The purpose of this study was to identify some indices of stakeholders’ awareness and readiness for prisoner reintegration, develop and validate the curricular content of proposed prisoner reintegration programme, determine the needed implementation resources and find out some challenges to be faced in working towards effective implementation of the proposed PREP. The theoretical framework of the study was based on Desistance Paradigm theory (DPT) and African Culture Compatible Model (ACCM). Sequential explanatory mixed methods design of quantitative and qualitative approaches was adopted for the study. Convenient sampling population of 1500 participants for the quantitative study and 15 for the qualitative study responded to the instruments of Stakeholders’ Awareness and Readiness for Prisoner Reintegration Inventory (SARFPRI) and Structured Interview Format (SIF) developed by the researcher from the available literature reviewed. The participants were between the ages of 31 to 70 years from Nigerian States of Lagos, Nasarawa and Anambra. Due ethical clearance was followed and obtained locally from Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS), now Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS), Abuja, Nigeria; and from University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis of Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA), Multiple Independent Samples t-test and Pearson Chi-Square and thematic content discourse were employed to answer the five research questions raised and nine hypotheses formulated for this study. The result of the findings showed that the proposed prisoner reintegration programme was applauded and approved by 75% of the Nigerian stakeholders who participated in the study. The selected Nigerian stakeholders who participated in the study had sufficient indices for awareness and readiness to embrace the proposed prisoner reintegration programme (PREP) in Nigeria. The proposed objectives and contents of prisoner reintegration programme (PREP) were endorsed and positively validated by the study participants. The result of the findings also revealed some anticipated challenges for effective implementation of PREP in Nigeria. Finally, proposed prisoner reintegration programme was positively embraced and successfully validated by the Nigerian stakeholders studied. The researcher gave fourteen recommendations for policy and practice based on the findings of the study. Recommendations for further studies were also proffered

The study examined perception of appropriate gender role in the family and the actual participation in family work. The participants were 545 freshmen of a Federal university and a State University within Lagos, Nigeria. The participants ages ranges between 15 years to 32 years and mean age of 19.8years. 371 of the participants were of Yoruba origin, 112 are of Igbo origin and the remaining participants were from other ethnic groups. The home activity scale designed for the study was administered to assess their perception of appropriateness of 30 family works and the frequency of performing the task. The result shows that twelve of the family tasks are perceived as appropriate for women while only four are considered as male appropriate only. Thirteen tasks were perceived as appropriate for the two sexes. However, most of the tasks including those considered as appropriate for both sexes are performed frequently by women. The result shows that traditional gender role sill exists in the Nigerian society. It is important to note that most of the family works are performed by the women.Gender & Behaviour, 10(2), December 201

In-depth Structured Interview Format (IDSIF) was used to gather information from the respondents. 300 participants were used for the study. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested with Pearson Correlation Coefficient statistical analysis. Suggestions were offered for better life adjustment after the demolition exercise.

It used a 25-item questionnaire. It was used to gather information from 207 respondents who attended a national conference of guidance counsellors. Findings revealed that the police, judiciary, excessive drinking, frustration, indecent dressing, are factors that heavily contribute to the spread of rape. People of low socioeconomic status and legislators contribute to the spread of rape. Holistic approach should involve diverse segments of the society (the governments, non-governmental organisations, educational institutions) the victims and their survivors. Members of the society should engage in both preventive and combative efforts.

Attitudes, perceptions and expectations are part of the psychosocial phenomena surrounding menopause. 200 Nigerian women from four ethnic groups of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Ijaw participated in the study. Perception and Attitudes of Nigerian Women towards Menopause Questionnaire (PANWOTOMEQ) was used to gather information from the participants. Four out of the five formulated hypotheses for the study were accepted while only one was rejected. The findings revealed that ethnic groups and age have no effect on the significant difference between the perception and attitudes of Nigerian women towards menopause.

The researchers designed the instrument, Age and Peer Influence on Substance Abuse Inventory (APISAI) used in collecting data from the respondents. The data collected were analysed using percentages, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient Formula and regression statistical analysis. One of the two formulated hypotheses was accepted by the results of the finding at 0.05 level of significant. The researchers suggested that all fresh and stain students in the University should be exposed to Self Concept Assertiveness Training (SCAT) and Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Programme (SARP).
