| dc.description.abstract | Gambling is a form of behavior that has been identified to have serious consequences on gamblers health, study-habits, academic performance, and has been reported to be related to some criminal related behaviors. This study examines the causes and effect of gambling among private university students using Crawford University as a case study. In executing this research, social learning theory of gambling was adopted, which postulate that gambling as a form of behavior is highly subjected to reinforcement and reward, the method of analysis adopted in this study is the frequency and percentages under the analysis. The sample for the study consists of undergraduates of Crawford university students, the study found that 67.5% of the students of Crawford University engage in gambling activities, out of which 82.7% are male and 14.3% are female. Majority of the respondent who ever gambled reported that they engage in such activities because they needed money. Despite the fact that some of these students come from a rich home and well educated parents, they still needed more money than their regular allowances. The study thereby suggests that the University through its entrepreneur center should empower students, vocational training with the aim of profit making and then organize on orientation on peer influence. | |
