AB  - The study was adopted a correlation research
design. The study was to determine the effect of rational
emotive behaviors therapy on anti-social behaviours and
self-esteem of motor vehicle mechanic work students of
technical college in Northern, Nigeria. Technical colleges
accredited by National Board for Technical Education
(NBTE) that offer motor vehicle mechanic work. Population
for the study is 233 students (NTC II). The entire population
of motor vehicle mechanic work students was studied due to
the manageable size of the population. Therefore, no
sampling was made. Rational Emotive Behaviours Therapy
on Anti-Social Behaviours, Academic Performance and
Self-Esteem Questionnaire (REBTABAPSEQ) was used for
data collection. To ascertain the appropriateness of the
instrument, five experts validated the instrument, two from
the Department of Industrial Technical Education, University
of Nigeria, Nsukka and one expert from the Department of
Measurement and Evaluation, Federal University of
Technology Minna, one from Psychology Department and
one from Education Psychology, University of Nigeria,
Nsukka. To establish the reliability of the instrument, a
preliminary study will be conducted on 50 of Motor Vehicle
Mechanic Work students of Government Technical College
in Bukuru, Plateu state which is outside the study area, have
similar features to the studied college and are NBTE
accredited. The instrument was administered by six research
assistants. The data collected was analyzed using Point-Bi-
Serial Correlation. The null hypotheses were tested using
multiple regressions and ANOVA. Recommendation: the
results of this study showed that REBT were effective in
reducing anti-social behaviour and it’s also the Government
should try to encourage the training of more counselors to
teach courses relating to anti-social behaviours at Technical
colleges in order to reduce the problem of examination
malpractice that the motor vehicle mechanic students are
experiencing today.
