Abstract

This study investigated the interactive influence of self-efficacy, emotional intelligence and achievement motivation as predictors of impulsive behaviour among secondary school students in Nigeria. This study employed the descriptive research design of ex-post facto type. Three hundred participants selected through the multi-stage stratified random sampling technique, were used for the study. Four main instruments were used in collecting data, they are: General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES), Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), Academic Achievement Motivation Scale (AAMS), and Impulsive Behaviour Scale (IBS).The data collected were analyzed using Multiple Regression Analysis statistical tool.The results indicated that all the predictor variables (self-efficacy, emotional intelligence and achievement motivation) in the regression model, jointly predicted secondary school students’ impulsive behaviour (R = .487; R2= .237; Adj. R2= .233; F (3, 271)= 31.876; p <.05). This showed that all the predictor variables accounted for 23.3% of the variance in the secondary school students’ impulsivebehaviour. Also, the most potent predictor of secondary school students’ impulsive behaviour among the predictor variables of the study is emotional intelligence (? = .351; t = 7.914; p < .05). Self-efficacy is the next potent factor (?= .284; t = 5.353; p <.05), and lastly by achievement motivation (?= .246; t = 3.645; p <.05) in the prediction of secondary school students’ impulsive behaviour. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that appropriate intervention strategies must be designed by the school through the help of school counsellor to enhance emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and academic motivation factors related to students’ behaviours and attitudes.
