“…Agenda-setting theory posits that the media determine what issues should be considered most important by society. The theory was proposed by Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw in 1972 (see Asemah, 2011: 176). Gever (2013) observes that the theory is important because it is a media effect theory.…”

This study investigates newspaper coverage of the conflict between farmers and herdsmen in central Tiv land, Benue State, Nigeria, with specific emphasis on text format, frequency, prominence, depth of coverage, language of reports and audience assessment of this coverage. Two newspapers – Daily Sun and Daily Trust – were selected for the study which covers a period of 12 months. Content analysis and survey were adopted for the study with email and telephone interviews as instruments for the survey. Results showed, among others, that the text format for both newspapers was mostly straight news (64.5%). Findings further showed that the newspapers only covered the conflict as it happened but little attention was paid to victims of the conflict in newspapers reportage. The result of the study also showed that 71.3 percent of the stories on the conflict were published on the inside page. It is recommended that Nigerian newspapers should refrain from episodic reportage and set a proper agenda for the Nigeria public on conflicts. Further studies are also recommended to include more newspapers in the sample.

“…The campaign messages often contain the issues that the candidate intends to share with the electorates. The messages which often centre on policy issues, summarise the main ideas of the campaign, and are often frequently repeated to create a lasting impression in the minds of voters (Asemah, Nwamuo and Edegoh, 2014). Most campaign messages are detailed in order to attract the largest number of voters possible.…”

This paper examined voters' assessment of social media use for the 2015 electioneering campaigns by the two leading political parties in Nigeria. The major objectives of the study were to determine the extent to which the two leading political parties in Nigeria (and their candidates) made use of the social AFRREV, 10 (4), S/NO 43, SEPTEMBER, 2016 19 Copyright © IAARR, 2007-2016 media for their electioneering campaign activities and to ascertain the specific activities they purveyed through the social media. The study was anchored on the Agenda-setting theory of the mass media, adopted quantitative research approach, surveyed 105 respondents purposively drawn from Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi (the three main urban towns in Anambra State), and used the questionnaire as instrument of data collection. The percentage method was also used to analyse data. Findings of the study show that the two leading political parties in Nigeria did not use the social media much in the electioneering campaigns of the 2015 elections, that the candidates of the two leading political parties utilised the social media more than candidates of other political parties in the election, and that the activities they disseminated in the social media bordered mainly on announcement of party flag bearers, accusations and counter accusations of electoral fraud being strategised by the other political party or INEC's connivance with one party or the other to rig the election. The paper concluded that the two leading political parties scored below average in the use of the social media in the 2015 electioneering campaigns, though, their candidates performed better than candidates of the other political parties. The researchers recommended more proactive use of the social media platforms by the leading political parties and all registered parties in Nigeria.

“…Previously, it was noted by (Champion & Skinner, 2008) that perceived benefits are positively linked to behavioural intentions that drives behaviour. Furthermore, studies conducted to study the behaviour regarding breast cancer screening (Yarbrough & Braden, 2001), prevention and control of injuries occurring from extensive workout and various studies related immunization (Grinberg & Sela, 2021) and for waste management to avoid contagious diseases (Sandhu, 2014). The current study hypothesize that perceived benefits can be negatively related to resistance behaviour as resistance behaviour is the negative behaviour.…”

Vaccination is without a doubt one of the most efficient ways to stop the COVID-19 pandemic from spreading. The goal of this study was to look into the acceptance and resistance to COVID-19 vaccination and its associated components using the Health Belief Model, which is a framework for changing health behaviours (HBM). The current study is quantitative; hence data was collected from attendants of patients admitted to hospitals in Pakistan's top-tier cities using a survey-based self-administered questionnaire. Nonprobability convenient sampling was utilised to approach the respondents. The model was tested in two stages using partial least squares (variance-based structural equation modelling). The measurement model's reliability and validity imply that the data is reliable and valid. Except for the impact of benefits on accepting behaviour, all of the study postulated relationships are supported by the results. The study agenda adds to our understanding of health care, immunisation, consumer behaviour, and behavioural research. It adds to the body of knowledge in the fields of immunisation and behavioural research by examining people's behaviours and changes during the worldwide mass vaccination period.
