Abstract

This study investigates the connecting indexes of self-esteem and peer pressure on the scholarly activities of students. The correlational survey research method with a structured questionnaire, Self-esteem and Peer Pressure on Scholarly Activities Questionnaire (SEPPSAQ), was administered to randomly selected one hundred high school students in five Schools in Ojo Education District in Lagos. Obtained data were assessed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, 20.0) for computing the percentage distribution and Pearson Products Moment Correlation (PMMC) at 5% significance level. The study showed that the self-esteem of students had a significant bearing on their scholarly activities and showed a potent relationship between peer pressure and students’ scholarly activities. Some of the recommendations include: (1) Counsellors should be actively engaged in assisting students to get through their educational and psychological needs, as this would improve their academic attainments and help them develop positive self-esteem. (2) Family counselling will improve parent-child relationships and reduce negative group influence.
