| dc.description.abstract | This study examined psychosocial predictors of sexual experimentation among adolescents with hearing impairment in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The samples consisted of 120 students with hearing impairment between ages 12 and 21. Instrument for this study was Adolescent Sexual Experimentation Inventory with sub-scales: Self-esteem, Peer relation, Parental style and Sexual initiation with reliability coefficient of 0.79, 0.69, 0.73 and 0.63 respectively. Rosenberg's self-esteem scale was adapted while other sub-scales were self-developed. Five hypotheses were tested and the results revealed that socio-economic factors, self-esteem and peer influence predicted sexual experimentation of the participants. However, parenting style did not relate to sexual experimentation. It was further revealed that all the independent variables did not jointly predict sexual experimentation of the participants though they all contributed relatively. It was recommended that the participant should be helped to develop high self-esteem. Also, good character should be emulated | en_US |
