Current Research

Predictive Strength of Parental Background Variables on Disposition to Condom Use among Female Youth in Three Geo-Political Zones in Nigeria

Research Details

The necessity to extend frontier of knowledge on female condom use arises as a result of gap in literature in this aspect of sexuality. Quite a lot of studies have been conducted on female condom use disposition from the standpoint of personality variables which included; self-efficacy and locus of control among others to the extent that little attention has been paid to parental background variables such as parental educational level, income and occupation. The impact of the parental background variables cannot be over-emphasized on behavioural issues that affect wellbeing of adolescents and youths. This invariably makes this study of interest to the researcher. Consequently, the researcher is of the view that there is the need to examine parental background variables and extend the coverage of the study beyond personality characteristics of female undergraduates in a particular geo-political zone of Nigeria. Hence, the need to beam searchlight on predictive strength of parental background variables in relation to disposition to female condom use.
