Peer pressure, Age, Gender, Home Environment and Dropout syndrome.

The study examined the roles of peer pressure, age, gender and home environment as correlates of dropout syndrome among adult learners in Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State. A descriptive research design was utilized and a purposive sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 230 adult learners. A self-developed questionnaire tagged the Peer Pressure, Age, Gender, Home Environment and Dropout Syndrome Questionnaire (PAGHES) was used to collect data. Using Cronbach Alpha, PAGHES yielded reliability coefficient of 0.858. Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The collected data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Findings revealed that there were positive significant relationships between peer pressure and dropout syndrome and home environment and dropout syndrome among adult learners in Agege local government area of Lagos state (r = .983, N = 230, p < .05 and r = -.992, N = 230, p < .05) respectively. Also, there is significant combined contribution of peer pressure, age, gender and home environment to dropout syndrome among adult learners in Agege Local Government Area, Lagos State,(F(4, 225) = 4799.93, p < .05, R² = 0.988). Home environment, age and gender were significant contributing variables to Dropout Syndrome among adult learners in Agege Local Government Area, Lagos State (p < .05), while peer pressure was not significant contributor (p >.05). The identified significant relationship between peer pressure and dropout syndrome underscores the need for targeted interventions to promote positive peer dynamics within the academic environment.
