Abstract

This study examined the predictive power of dating on undergraduates'
academic performance at Babcock University, Ilishan-remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. A
descriptive survey research design was employed while two hundred and eighty-nine
participants were selected through the multi-stage stratified random sampling technique. A
self-developed questionnaire tagged Undergraduates’ Dating Scale (UDS) was used for data
collection, while Students’ academic performance was measured the Students’ CGPA. The
data collected was analyzed using statistical analysis of simple percentage, correlation
coefficient, Z-test, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed a significant
difference do exist between male and female undergraduates’ dating behaviour (t-cal = 11.309
> t-crit. = 1.96, < 0> performance of those involved in dating and those who do not (z-cal = 3.543 > z-crit. = 1.96,
< 0> dating behaviour and academic performance (r = .671; p>.05); while dating behaviour
accounted for 27.1% of the variability in the undergraduates’ academic achievement (R =
.538; R2 = .289; Adj. R2 = .271; F(1,287) = 21.501; p <.05). Based on the findings, it was
therefore recommended that among other things, sexual and reproductive health education is
necessary, which should be channeled from different angles of human interactional
opportunities: home, school, play grounds, churches, etc.
