Background: Studies have shown that a good number of students admitted into Agricultural Science Education program in Nigerian universities exhibit irrational career interest which affects their perceptions, feelings, and academic behaviors. This study, therefore, explored the effect of rational emotive career education on irrational career beliefs among students enrolled in agricultural education program in federal universities in Enugu state. Three null hypotheses guided the study. Method: Of the population (N = 79 students) targeted for the study and who underwent a screening exercise, 61 students were recruited as participants/sample size for the study. Sequence allocation software was used to assign 31 students into experimental groups and 30 into waitlisted control group. Participants in the intervention group received a rational emotive career education program that lasted for 12 sessions while those in waitlisted group did not receive the intervention. The participants in both groups were assessed at three points (Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3) using rational and irrational belief scale. A repeated measure (ANOVA) and partial eta square statistical tools were used to analyze the data collected. Result: This study result showed that rational emotive career education significantly reduced irrational career beliefs among students enrolled in Agricultural Science Education program exposed to intervention group compared to those in waitlisted control group. It also showed that there was time × group interaction for irrational career beliefs. The follow-up assessment indicated that the efficacy of rational emotive career education was sustained overtime. Conclusion: This study concluded that rational emotive career education is beneficial in reducing irrational career beliefs of university students enrolled in Agricultural Science Education program. Recommendations were also made in line with the results.

“…On the other hand, frustration intolerance denotes extreme negative evaluations of adverse events, and self-downing beliefs means extreme evaluations of one's self. Each of these categories of irrational beliefs is negative in nature [ 15 ] and results in erroneous cognitive, behavioral, and emotional responses.…”

“…[ 74 ] More so, mindfulness and biofeedback should be applied. [ 45 ] These techniques and skills will enhance the demystification of the negative personal value systems of the visually impaired students. The researchers suggest that the school administrators should integrate the principles and strategies of REBT in the counselling approaches of students with a negative value system especially the visually impaired students.…”

Background: Visually impaired students have been reported to struggle with value system and rash decision making process. This study examined the impact of rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) in reducing negative personal value system of visually impaired people. Method: A group-randomized trial design was adopted using 56 students with visual impairment. The participants received a value-based rational emotive behavior progamme and were assessed at 3 points using PVS and ABS-2-AV. Results: The result of analysis of covariance showed that there was no significant difference between the treatment and control groups in initial personal value in Nigerian as measured by PVS. At the post-treatment the effect of V-REBP was significant in personal value and follow-up assessment respectively in favour of treatment group. Conclusion: We concluded that there is significant impact of rational emotive behavioral therapy on reduction of negative personal value system of students with visual impairment.

“…This positive observation is in support of previous studies which evaluated the efficacy of rational emotive programs in managing stress. [ 16 – 20 , 23 – 27 ] Researchers have also recognized the use of rational emotive procedures and cognitive–behavioral coping skills training in stress reduction as an effective approach. [ 16 – 20 , 51 ] Although, there are other approaches for dealing with stress, the current study in particular added to the increasing existing empirical evidences concerning the clinical usage of rational emotive education approach in reducing stress among undergraduate students enrolled in religious education program.…”

Background: Rational emotive education (REE) program aims to improve the behavioral and mental health of students. This study objective was to evaluate the effect of an REE program on stress among undergraduate students of religious education program in Nigerian Universities. Method: One hundred and fifty (150) religious education undergraduates who had high level of stress participated in the study. Participants were assigned to 2 different groups. The treatment group had 75 participants and while control group also had 75 participants. Data collection was done using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) while data analysis was done using independent sample t test and paired t test statistics at .05 probability level. Results: The REE program resulted in a significant decrease in level of stress among undergraduate students of religious education program in the treatment group compared with those students in the control group. Also, the effect of the REE program was maintained during the follow-up among undergraduate students of religious education program exposed to it. Conclusion: The REE program can be used to assist undergraduate students of religious education program to manage their stress.
