尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔地区8至18岁儿童对街头生活的动机、归因和感知
目的:本研究旨在探讨动机、同伴关系归因和父母社会经济地位对尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市8 - 18岁儿童街头生活感知的影响。方法:该研究基于两个主要目标,旨在确定尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔8至18岁的同伴关系、父母社会经济影响地位的程度。本研究采用问卷调查设计。本研究选取了200名本科生。数据收集的工具是由研究者构建的访谈形式的问卷。通过Cronbach Alpha信度建立仪器的信度估计,信度分别为0.75和0.77。采用独立t检验作为数据分析的统计工具。使用SPSS Version 22对每个假设进行0.05水平显著性检验。研究结果表明,同伴关系和父母的社会经济地位显著影响尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市8至18岁儿童对街头生活的感知。对理论和实践的独特贡献:除其他外,该研究建议应赋予社会经济地位较低的父母权力,使他们能够为子女提供基本需求。从而减少了社会上流浪儿童的数量。
