The moderating effects of gender and self-efficacy were examined.The cognitive appraisal theory provided the framework for the study, while the pretest-posttest, control group quasi experimental design with 3x2x3 factorial matrix was adopted. Multistage sampling technique was used. Three federal universities: University of Ibadan, Ibadan (UI), Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU) and Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) were randomly selected. One hundred and three participants across the three universities who scored 40.0% and above out of 100.0% in the screening exercise, were recruited for the study. They were randomly assigned to ECT, IP and the Control groups.
