dc.description.abstractThe study examined social media, dress-patterns and the selection of partners among undergraduate female students: The case of university of Ilorin. The study adopted descriptive survey research and phenomenological research design, and the population of 16 411 female undergraduate students (2022/2023) was obtained from the school record. A sample size of 320 female undergraduate students was randomly selected for the study using multi-stage and simple random sampling, but only 285 participants filled out and returned their questionnaires. Three hypotheses were tested using Chi-squire statistical analysis at a 0.5 significance level. An in-depth interview (IDI) was conducted, and eight interviewees were purposefully selected among research participants and (IDI) was analysed using thematic and content analyses. The findings from the hypotheses revealed a significant relationship between social media and indecent dressing, a significant relationship between dress patterns and selection of partners, and a significant relationship between social media and fashion trends among the participants in the study area. Based on the study's findings, it recommended that the management of higher institutions in Nigeria ensures that the dress code is enforced adequately in their various citadel of learning and that students who are found wanting are appropriately sanctioned, disciplined or penalised based on institution’s code of dress regulations.
