    Personality types, Communication Styles and Educational Qualification as Determinants of Marital Conflicts among Secondary School Teachers in Oyo State, Nigeria
    (Lead City University, 2022-12) Seun Weyinmi AJAGBE
    Marriage is a bond designed to endure a lifetime between a man and a woman. It is a relationship based on the choice and desire to spend the rest of one's life with another person, regardless of language, ethnicity, religion, culture, or other variations in background. The rate of marital disagreement among secondary school teachers in the state of Oyo has grown alarming in recent years. This marital stress has led to marital dissatisfaction, divorce, suicidal ideation, despair, exhaustion, emotional retreat, and murder. This research explores personality type, communication styles, and educational attainment among secondary school teachers in Oyo State, Nigeria, as predictors of marital conflict. This research used a descriptive survey approach. The samples included 1,000 married secondary school educators, both men and women. Using a multistage sampling process, participants were chosen. Using frequency count, multiple regression analysis, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation, three research subjects and three hypotheses were investigated. Data were collected using three instruments: the Marital Conflict scale (=0.89), the Personality Scale (=0.87), and the Communication style Scale (=0.82). According to data, the incidence of marital issues among secondary school teachers was modest, with a mean frequency of 1.3 disputes per teacher (2.75). In predicting marital conflict among respondents, these three factors accounted for 25.7% of the variation. Independent factors were positively associated with peer victimisation in the following order: personality types (Beta =.531, t = 11.099, P0.05), educational qualification (Beta = 0.041, t = 0.941, P>0.05), and communication style (Beta = -088, t = -1.723, P>0.05). There is an independent correlation between personality types (introvert and extravert) and marital conflict. Both introverts and extraverts exhibited positive relationships with marital conflict (r=0.501**, p0.000 n=1000; 0.05) In the Nigerian state of Oyo, there is a substantial correlation between educational level, communication style, and marital conflict among secondary school teachers. The outcome of the study was that married people should be encouraged to use effective communication techniques. Nevertheless, the government and its institutions, such as the Ministry of Women's Affairs, should prioritise social responsibility by implementing a mass media-based family-to-family marriage education programme (radio, television and newspaper).
