ABSTRACT
The study examines drug abuse and mental stability as predictors of study habit of undergraduates at Babcock University.
The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select sample (respondents), which was a fair representation of the population. 300 undergraduate students were randomly selected from Babcock University. A well-developed, valid and reliable questionnaire was administered to collect data from the respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using the using simple percentage and frequency count with the aid of the software SPSS version 20, which was selected by the researcher because of its simplicity and relevance to the research work.
Findings from the study reveal that Drug abuse and mental stability will significantly combine to predict undergraduates study habits(F (2,301) = 83.320, P <.05); Drug abuse will not significantly predict undergraduates study habits (Beta = .054, t= .940, P<.05); Mental stability will significantly predict undergraduates study habits (Beta = .438, t = 8.469, P<.05); There is a significant difference in drug abuse between male and female undergraduates (t = 5.759, P < .05); There is a significant difference in mental ability between male and female undergraduates (t = 2.947, P< .05); There is a significant difference in study habits between male and female undergraduates(t =3.159, P< .05).
The study concludes that drug abuse and mental stability serves as predictors of study habit of undergraduates at Babcock University.
To this end, the study suggested that Babcock University should sensitize their students so that they will know that hard work secures success in life and they should be serious with their studies, in order to be useful to themselves, their families and the country at large.
