Abstract :

 The study determined sexual harassment as predictor of psychological adjustment among undergraduates of Ebonyi state university, Abakaliki. The design is correctional survey research. Three research questions and a hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The subjects of the study comprise 614 undergraduates comprising   394 males and 220 females. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Mean score statistics was used in analysis research questions 1 and 2, while question 3 was analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation (r). A hypothesis that guided the study was analyzed using linear regression analysis. Results showed the levels of sexual harassment among students to be moderate while the level of psychological adjustment was low. The relationship between sexual harassment was negative leading to a rejection of null hypothesis and acceptance of alternative hypothesis of significant relationship. Based on the findings it was recommended that replication of the study be made in other universities to accommodate generalization of findings
