dc.description.abstractThis study examines the prevalence and determinants of sexting behavior among undergraduates in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study population encompasses all undergraduates in Kwara State, while the target population consists of undergraduates from three universities selected based on ownership (Federal, State, and Private) and stratified by gender. A random sampling technique was employed to select 100 undergraduates from each university, resulting in a total sample of 300 respondents. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire titled "Prevalence and Determinants of Sexting Behaviour Questionnaire (PASODOEBEQ)," which was validated by experts in Sociology of Education and Educational Psychology. The instrument’s reliability was established using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistic, yielding a coefficient of 0.86. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentages, mean, and standard deviation) and Multiple Regression analysis. Findings indicate that sexting behavior is prevalent among undergraduates and that low self-esteem and peer association are significant determinants. The study recommends that school authorities organize sensitization workshops or seminars for undergraduates to address the meaning, ripple effects, and penalties associated with sexting behavior, thereby promoting necessary social adjustment.
