dc.description.abstractThe research was conducted to determine if social modeling and role-play strategies, when used, could help youths resolve their problems of living. The research design was quasi-experimental with the pre-test and post-test control groups design. The subjects of the study were the 63 students who indicated they needed counselling in the Faculties of Science and Arts of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. They were randomly grouped into experimental and control groups. Four null hypotheses were postulated for the study. They were analysed using ttest statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed significant differences in the effect of social modeling and role-play strategies on the experimental and control groups with regards to youth problems. The youths in the experimental group were found to be less bothered by their problems after the treatment. Social modeling and role-play counselling strategies have been found to be effective on the management of youth problems. Thus, counselling qualifies as an effective means of helping youths with their problems. It was recommended that tertiary institutions establish counselling centres managed by professional full-time counsellors to help youths with their problems. Also, that institutions give orientation to youths on possible causes of problems that could affect people of their ages. It was further recommended that researches be conducted at regular intervals to explore other strategies that can help youths manage their problems. It was also recommended that counsellor education should include vital aspects of counselling like valuing, a thorough grounding in psychology and sociology as well as exposure to problems in ethics. These will better equip counsellors to help the youths with their problems which can be multidimensional in nature.en_US
