Reliability
    Reliability is the consistency, accuracy, stability and trustworthiness of a measuring instrument or scores obtained (Raji, 2009). The reliability of the instrument is concerned with how far the same test would give the same result when used for the same students at different occasions or with different set of equivalent items under the same conditions (Oladele, 1987). To establish the reliability of the instrument for this study, the test-re-test method was adopted. The test was administered twice at an interval of two weeks. The set of scores generated were then subjected to Pearson’s Product Moment Correction Coefficient Procedure and a value of 0.61 was obtained.
Procedure for Data Collection
    The data for the study was collected through the administration of the questionnaire with the assistance of the school counsellor. The questionnaires were administered to the respondents in their various schools and collected immediately by the researcher after the respondents have completely responded to all items therein.
Method of Data Analysis
    The techniques of analysis of data obtained from questionnaire distributed include frequency counts, t-test statistical and analysis of variance methods. Frequency counts were to determine the respondents’ personal data, while t-test and analysis of variance were used to test the hypotheses proposed for the study.
