ABSTRACT
In test development, there is the need for accurate estimation of item difficulty, discrimination and distracter indices of the test especially in the classical test theory. The study adopted instrumentation research design. The sample of the study was 1000 drawn from students in public junior secondary school one in Rivers West Senatorial District, Rivers State. The sample was drawn through multi stage sampling procedure. The instrument for data collection was a 50 item non-verbal intelligence test developed and standardized by the researcher in 2007. The instrument yielded a reliability coefficient of .92 and was determined through the use of Kuder-Richardson estimate21. Results of the study showed that most of the items of the non-verbal intelligence test possessed moderate difficulty index and discrimination index and distracter index. Based on the results, the researcher recommended that there should be more awareness on the development of non-verbal intelligence test and the regular training of test developers on intelligence testing generally and non-verbal intelligence test in particular.

ABSTRACT
The study investigated parental attachment styles as correlate of school adjustment of primary school pupils in Rivers state. The objective of the study was to find out the extent to which attachment styles (secure, ambivalent and avoidant) correlate independently and collectively with school adjustment. The population of the study was all the 8,086 pupils in all the 152 public primary schools in Ikwerre, Obio-Akpor and Port-Harcourt local government areas of Rivers state. A sample of 485 pupils from 30 public primary schools was drawn using simple random sampling and proportionate sampling technique. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. Two instruments were adapted for the study namely; Adjustment Inventory for School Student and Attachment Style Questionnaire. Face, content and construct validity of the instruments were ensured. Reliability of the instruments was done using test-retest method and the coefficients obtained are: .863 for school adjustment and .861, .752, and .917 for secure, ambivalent and avoidant attachment styles respectively. Simple regression analysis was used to answer research questions 1, 2 and 3 while multiple regression analysis was used to answer research question 4. In testing the null hypotheses, t-test associated with simple regression was used to test hypotheses 1,2 and 3 while hypotheses 4 was tested using Analysis of Variance associated with multiple regression. Results of the study indicated that secure attachment style and ambivalent attachment style had a negative and significant relationship with school adjustment while avoidant attachment style had a positive and no significant relationship with school adjustment. The result also revealed that there is a joint positive and significant relationship between the three attachment styles and school adjustment, Based on the findings, recommendations were made, one of which is that parents should create an enabling home environment that will help boost th

ABSTRACT
This study utilized descriptive survey design in assessing the awareness and implementation of anti-plagiarism tools by post-graduate students in the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. A sample size of 393 comprising of 278 Masters’ students and 115 Ph.D. students drawn from the population of 557 was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was titled “Awareness and Implementation of Anti-Plagiarism Tools Checklist (AIAPC), and was developed by the researchers. Both face and content validities of the instrument were determined. Mean (x̄) and standard deviation (±) were used to answer the research questions, while independent t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that the Ph.D. students are more aware of the various anti-plagiarism tools than the Masters students based on the weighted mean score (Ph.D. 2.38 ≥ Masters 1.65). The results also revealed that both the Ph.D. and the Masters students have poor implementation of the various anti-plagiarism tools. This was shown in their weighted mean scores which is less than the criterion mean score of 2.50 (1.65, 2.38 ≤ 2.50). Based on the result, it was recommended among others that post-graduate students should be exposed to courses on plagiarism.

ABSTRACT
Background: The recent COVID 19 pandemic has imposed threats on both metals as well as physical health since its ferocious outbreak.
