associated with exposure to social media usage, neighbourhood influence and religiosity using survey
design. One thousand six hundred and thirty-four representative sample (Male=867; Female=767) with
age range of 18-29 and mean age of 17.04 were drawn through multi-stage technique from a
population of tertiary institutions students in South-Western Nigeria. Five research questions guided
the study. Variables were assessed with four standardized self-report scales. Result of Pearson Product
Moment Correlation (PPMC) showed that while neighbourhood and religiosity have positive
relationship with moral behaviours, social media usage had inverse relationship. Multivariate Analysis

behaviours. Religiosity made the most potent contribution ((? = .398; t= 8.706; P<0> neighbourhood influence ((? =.167; t= 2.082; P<0> contribution to respondents’ moral behaviours. It concluded that counselling psychologists should
empower parents with skills to inculcate cherished values and mores on their youths. Moral education
