The study examined self-esteem and socioeconomic status as determinants of vocational skills acquisition among undergraduates in the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State. The study adopted descriptive survey design, 129 students were drawn as the sample from the university using the convenient sampling technique. Of the respondents, 58(45.0%) were males and 71(55.0%) were females and the respondents' age ranged from 18 years to 27 years. Two standardised psychological test instruments were used namely: Hare Self-Esteem Scale and Gaur's Socio-economic Status Classification Scale and data collected was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Two hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings from the first hypothesis reveal that self-esteem had the significant influence on vocational skills acquisition among undergraduates (t= 2.516 > t-tab=1.976, p< 0.05). However, the results of the second hypothesis revealed that socio-economic status had no significant influence on vocational skills acquisition among undergraduates (F (2,126) =0.182, p>0.05).  The study concluded that while self-esteem served as a determinant of vocational skills acquisition among undergraduates in the University of Ibadan, socioeconomic status did not affect their preference for vocational skills acquisition.

Background: Researchers in medicine and related fields in Nigeria have usually made recourse to the instrument developed by Olusanya et al and Oyedeji in the past three-and-a half decades for determination of socioeconomic status (SES). Beside the question of their age, however, these instruments were purposive and might no longer be suitable because of the changes in the parameters on which they were based.Objective: To develop a robust but generic scheme that takes into consideration the changes in the nation’s socioeconomic space in the succeeding three and a half decades.Methods: A detailed and comprehensive review of the extant schemes was undertaken with a view to identifying their inherent weaknesses. The latter were then factored into the design of a new scheme taking into consideration the emergent restructuring of career positions in the civil/public service as well as the place of private and informal sectors of the economy. The new scheme was validated at the University of Beninand Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospitals.Results: The new scheme had a remarkably high Inter-rater reliability (r = 0.947, p<0.001), raterre- rater reliability (r = 0.984, p <0.001) and % agreement (with modified Oyedeji’s tool as standard) of 67% (K coefficient = 0.47, r = 0.71, p<0.001)Conclusion/Recommendation: The new scheme could be a viable tool for the assessment of SES of families and individuals, which not only takes into consideration current realities of the nation’s economy, but also is readily adaptable to meet foreseeable changes.

AbstractEvidence from literature shows that deviant behavior is on high side among undergraduates in Nigeria whereas some certain psychosocial factors causing this phenomenon have not been fully explored. This study examined whether age, gender, socio-economic status and attitude towards drug abuse determine deviant behavior among the undergraduate students. It adopted ex-post facto design. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample 269 participants. The Prescription Drug Attitudes Questionnaire (PDAQ) and Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (DBVS) were used to gather data from the participants. T-test analysis and multiple regression were used to test the formulated hypotheses. The results revealed that age, monthly allowance and attitude towards drug abuse have significant joint prediction of deviant behavior (R=.358 R2 =.128, F=10.594, p<.05) while only attitude towards drug abuse independently predicted deviant behavior (R=.236, R2 =.056 F = 17.112; p<.01). Also, there was a significant gender difference on deviant behavior [t (293) = 4.196, p<.01], where male respondents scored high significantly (M=4.09, SD=3.44) compared to female respondents (M=2.53, SD=2.31) on deviant behavior. It is therefore recommended that policy makers in educational sector and the governing council of tertiary institutions need to create awareness on the debilitating effects of drugs on students’ behavior, especially among males.
