摘要

这项研究评估了尼日利亚西北部农业本科生使用社交媒体的社会经济决定因素。有目的地从7个州中选出3个州，从这些州中随机选出250名学生。数据是在问卷调查的帮助下收集的。采用百分比、均值和多元线性回归模型对数据进行分析。数据分析结果显示，76.4%的学生月收入在10000至30000之间；55.2%的人每周花10-29小时使用社交媒体。脸书（x̄=3.18）和WhatsApp（x̃=3.02）的用户数量最高。年龄、婚姻状况和月收入具有统计学意义（P≤0.05）；而多年的正规教育和互联网接入都很重要。年龄、婚姻状况和正规教育年限是农业本科生使用社交媒体的主要决定因素。尼日利亚通信委员会应强制对数据包进行向下审查，并推动更大范围的免费Wi-Fi服务。

Socioeconomic Determinants of the Use of Social Media among Agricultural Undergraduates in North-West Nigeria

This study assessed the socioeconomic determinants of the use of social media among agriculture undergraduates in North-west Nigeria. Three States were purposively selected out of 7, and 250 students were randomly selected from the States. Data were collected with the aid of a questionnaire. Percentages, means and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data. Results of the data analysis reveal that 76.4% of the students’ had a monthly income of ₦10,000-₦30,000; 55.2% spent 10-29 hours per week using the social media. Facebook (x̄=3.18) and WhatsApp (x̄=3.02) had the highest number of users. Age, marital status and monthly income were statistically significant (P≤0.05); while years of formal education and the access to internet were both significant. Age, marital status and years of formal education were the major determinants of social media usage among agricultural undergraduates. The Nigerian communication commission should enforce a downward review of data bundles and also push for a larger access to free Wi-Fi services.
