Abstract
This article explored the data collected regarding the influence of citizenship norms, efficacy belief, and parents’ participation on students’ civic engagement in Nigeria. Five hundred and eighty-four (584) students from eight universities located in north-west geopolitical zone of Nigeria completed a self administered questionnaire. The questionnaire is a 5- Likert-scale. The data was analyzed by means of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) package version 20. However, we conducted the initial screening and analysis of data so as to fulfil the assumptions specified for multivariate analysis. That is, the values missed out by respondents were treated. Then comes the assessment and handling of outliers, which are the disproportionate case scores that is expected to have a substantial negative impact on the outcomes. Following this, a test of normality, linearity and multicollinearity were performed. It was then concluded that the data was fit for further multivariate analysis..Downloads
