ABSTRACT
The study was designed to determine The Attitude of undergraduate towards premarital sex and abortion among University of Benin students. In order to achieve the purpose intended for the study, three research questions were raised to guide the study. The study employed descriptive survey research design. A total sample size of 200 respondents was randomly selected from some secondary schools in Benin City. The instrument used for the study was a structured questionnaire. The data collected were organized into frequency tables. The Cronbanch Alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. The questionnaire was administered to a group of 20 respondents which were not part of the study. The result of their responses was correlated and a Cronbach coefficient of .846 was obtained. Findings reveal a prevalent positive inclination among University of Benin students, indicating a collective avoidance of premarital sexual activities. This shared perspective emphasizes a conservative approach to intimate relationships before marriage, reflecting a strong societal influence within the university community. The findings of this study finds that the majority of students disapprove of abortion, forming a consensus against it. The study indicates that students' attitudes towards premarital sex remain uniform, irrespective of diverse family backgrounds. The finding of this study observation applies to attitudes towards abortion, as students maintain a consistent perspective regardless of varied family backgrounds. This lack of divergence implies that external factors, particularly family dynamics, have minimal influence on shaping opinions regarding abortion. The findings x suggest a collective conservative stance upheld by the student body, with limited impact from external factors such as family background. This homogeneity signifies a shared cultural ethos or social norm transcending individual differences among the student population
