Item EFFECTIVENESS OF RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND REALITY THERAPIES IN REDUCING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOURS OF HEARING-IMPAIRED STUDENTS IN ILORIN, NIGERIA(University of Ilorin, 2017) OGUNGBADE, Oyelakin KunmiFindings from previous studies and the gap left behind showed that the issue of aggressive behaviours among students with hearing impairment has created serious concerns for parents, school authorities and the society at large. The attitudes of such students impact negatively on their academic performance, interpersonal relationships and general social wellbeing. This study therefore investigated the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and Reality Therapy (RT) in reducing aggressive behaviours of students with hearing impairment in Ilorin, Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to determine: (i) the aggressive behaviours index of participants before and after experimental packages; (ii) which of REBT, RT and control groups is effective in reducing aggressive behaviours of participants; (iii) which of REBT and RT is more effective and (iv) the influence of moderating variables of gender and age on the effectiveness of REBT and RT. The study is a quasi-experimental research design adopting pre-test, post-test and control group. There were two treatment groups (REBT & RT) and a control group. A total of 84 students were selected using purposive, stratified and proportional sampling techniques from Kwara State School for Special Needs, Ilorin using an Aggressive Behaviour Scale (ABS) developed by Orpinas and Frankowski (2001). The aggressive behaviours benchmarks are boys 19.3; girls 13.2. The validity of the test was established through the use of construct validity. The internal consistency of ABS was ascertained having Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88. Aggressive Programme Evaluation Questionnaire (APEQ) (2008) was adopted and used to ascertain the effectiveness of the experimental packages. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse hypotheses 1, 5 - 10, t-test was used for hypotheses 2, 3, 4 and Scheffe Multiple Comparison Test was used for post-hoc analysis at 0.05 alpha level. Findings of the study were that: i. the aggressive behaviours index of participants before and after experimental packages were REBT 31.68, 4.93; RT 38.63, 3.00; and control 35.14, 40.66, respectively; ii. there is a significant higher reduction in the aggressive behaviours of participants exposed to treatments (REBT & RT) than those in the control group (F 865.06 p < 0.05) in favour of those in the treatment groups; iii. RT treatment package was found to be more effective when compared to REBT (t 54= 3.80, p < 0.05); and iv. gender and age had no influence on the effectiveness of REBT and RT treatments (F 0.39 p > 0.05; F 1.07 p > 0.05, respectively). The study concluded that although both REBT and RT were effective in reducing aggressive behaviours of students with hearing impairment, RT was more effective while gender and age had no influence on the effectiveness of the treatments. The implication of the findings is that students with hearing impairment could be assisted by reducing their aggressive behaviours. The study recommended that Counsellors should adopt RT and REBT in reducing cases of aggressive behaviours because using their principles would inculcate anti-aggressive behaviours in the minds of students with hearing impairment and thus improving interpersonal relationship.Item PREVALENCE OF UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOURS AMONG PUPILS IN ILORIN METROPOLIS: IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNSELLING(Association of Professional Counsellors in Nigeria (APROCON), 2018) ADEDIGBA, Olabisi; OGUNGBADE, Oyelakin Kunmi; OWUYILE, Shola SamsonUndesirable behaviours exhibited by pupils in the schools have created serious concerns to teachers, counsellors, parents and the society at large. This study therefore examined the prevalence of undesirable behaviours among pupils in Ilorin Metropolis and also categorized the common undesirable behaviours among pupils. The study adopted descriptive survey design. Simple random sampling was used to draw ten public and ten private primary schools and 250 pupils from the schools. The researchers developed instrument titled “Prevalence of Undesirable Behaviours Rating Scale” (PUBRS) was used for data collection. The face and content validity of PUBRS were ascertained. Internal consistency method of reliability was used and reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained through Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The data collected were analyzed using percentage, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test. The findings revealed that aggressive behaviours have the highest sub-scale mean (3.16). It also showed that there was significant difference in the prevalence of undesirable behaviours among pupils on the basis of gender t= -2.596; df= 248; p < 0.05). Recommendation were made that government should establish a functional counselling unit in primary schools and adequate counselling services be made available to pupils to promote desirable behaviours among them.Item Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy as a Counselling Technique for Handling Aggressive Behaviours of Students with Hearing-Impairment in Nigeria(Journal of Counelling and School Psychology, 2017) OGUNGBADE, Oyelakin Kunmi; Dr. (Mrs.) AINA, Josephine Shola; Prof. (Mrs.) M. G. FajonyomiAggression is an act of verbal or physical attack inflicted on another person in order to hurt the victims’ feelings or threatening to attack either in words or actions. It is overt, often harmful to academic environment and even social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. Aggression can take a variety of forms, which may be expressed physically and communicated verbally and/or non-verbally. Students with hearing impairment often exhibit aggression.
