Method The research design used in the study was a descriptive research of the survey type and respondents were determined through multi-stage sampling techniques. The sample which was selected through simple random sampling techniques was made up of one thousand, five hundred and eighty one (1581) university undergraduates of between the age of 14 and 24 years old. This consisted of 750 males and 831 females with 265 from each of the six universities in the three selected states in Southwest Nigeria. Research Instrument A self-designed instrument titled â€Å"Social values and Sexual Morality Questionnaire† was used for the study and data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as Percentage Scores, Mean,†¦show more content†¦Variables N Mean Std.

This implies that University undergraduates’ social values significantly predicted their sexual morality. University undergraduates’ social values accounted for 50.2% (R2 = 0.502) of the variance in sexual morality. The remaining 49.8% unexplained variance in sexual morality could largely be due to other factors outside the regression model. The composite relationship between University undergraduates’ social values and their sexual morality is high, positive and significant at 0.05 level (r = 0.709, P 0.05), modesty (t = 15.903, P0.05) on University undergraduates’ sexual morality was significant at 0.05 level in each case. The regression equation is given as: Y = 26.509 + 2.713 X1 + 2.024X2 – 0.386X3 – 0.724X4 + o.965X5 where: X1 = Integrity, X2 = Modesty, X3 = Chastity, X4 = Assertiveness, X5 = Self-control, Y = Sexual morality. Discussion The findings show a significant relationship between compliance with social values such as modesty, integrity chastity, self- control and sexual morality. The result recorded low compliance of University undergraduates with integrity and modesty. Awoyele, (2007) attributed this to erosion of social values among the youths.
