    (Centre for Biodiversity, Conservation and Ecosystem Management (CEBCEM)., 2019-07-10) Makinde, B.O; Olusakin, A.M; Adebiyi, D.T
    The challenges posed by the adverse environmental pollution cannot be overestimated especially as regards its impact on the resilience and psychosocial well-being of the residents. There is no disputing the fact that as murky and waterlogged as the Makoko environment is, it is the children’s indigenous environment. This paper investigated the impact of group counselling on the resilience and psychosocial well-being of Makoko school children in their peculiar indigenous environment. It examined the children’s perception of their environment as well as their attitude towards the inclement pollution with reference to their level of resilience and interpersonal relationship. The study adopted the quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test research design. Intact classes were used for the study. A researcher-made questionnaire was used by the researchers to gather data to test the two null hypotheses. A total of 106 randomly selected school children participated in the study. Paired sample t-test statistical tool was used to determine the level of resilience and interpersonal relationship of the participants. Results showed that group counselling impacted significantly on their level of resilience and interpersonal relationship. The study recommends regular counselling interventions to enhance the rapid growth, development and psychosocial well-being of Makoko school children in their indigenous environment.

    (The African Journal on Behavioural and Scale Development Research (AJB-SDR), 2019-02) Adebiyi, D.T; Olusakin, A.M; Makinde, B.O
    The study examined the influence of psycho-social variables on marital stability among intact families (families that included two married biological parents) in Lagos metropolis. The sample comprised 118 people in intact families who were conveniently selected from five local government areas of Lagos metropolis. It is assumed that the study would be of benefit to families in intact marriage and a sort of guide to the use of psycho-social variables that enhance the stability of marriages; the result of correct application would lead to a healthy society. The researchers designed questionnaire titled "influence of psycho-social variables on marital stability among intact families in Lagos Metropolis" which was used to collect necessary data for the study. Independent-t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were applied for data analysis. The outcomes of the study revealed that traits and gender differences in psychic durability (tolerance), have significant influence on marital stability among intact families. On the other hand, one hypothesis was retained in the null form. That is, there is no significant relationship between socio-economic status and marital stability among couples in intact families. It is therefore recommended that couples in intact families should engage in the use of the various psycho-social variables that will further enhance the stability of their marriages so as to avoid the problems that are likely to arise if not properly managed.

    (14th UNILAG Annual Research Conference & Fair, 2019-08-21) Makinde, B.O; Adebiyi, D.T; Olusakin, A.M; Adebiyi, A
    Secondary school students encounter several problems on daily basis, and these affect their psycho-social well-being and academic performances. Despite the general acceptability of the importance of technology in the process of our educational system, there had been limited use of technology in counselling among secondary school children in Nigeria. Appropriate and efficient helps are not sought by students through “face- to-face” counselling that is readily available. Whereas suggestions through research had been to introduce the use of online counseling, as an alternative to conventional method of counselling. The study used descriptive survey design. The population comprised of 200 secondary students in Lagos Mainland Local Government, who were randomly selected from four schools. Instrument used for data collection was a self-developed questionnaire which was validated by experts. Two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using independent t-test. The results found no gender difference in their opinion to seek online counselling. Students experiencing psycho-social distress – bullying, mood swings, academic demands, and sexual abuse preferred online counseling. The study therefore recommended that online counselling should be made an Integra part of counselling techniques in Nigerian secondary schools since more sensitive issues are likely to be elicited other than educational topics if engaged in online counselling.
