dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the effects of cognitive restructuring and graded exposure counselling technique on school phobia among secondary school students in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria. The study was guided by five (5) research questions and five (5) null hypotheses. This study employed a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group, pre-test – post-test design. The population of this study was 415 junior secondary school students whereas 36 students were purposively sampled and used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was, Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED). Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANCOVA. Findings revealed that; Male and female students exposed to CRT had a reduced school phobia in favour of female students with (t = 0.819, p = 0.432), Male and female students exposed to GET had a reduced school phobia in favour of male secondary school students with (t = 0.948, p = 0. 366), Students exposed to CRT such as validity testing, modelling, and systematic positive reinforcement had a reduced school phobia as compared to those in control group (t = 20.108, p = 0. 000), Students exposed to GET such as hierarchy of fears had reduced school phobia than their counterparts in the control group (t = 18.432, p = 0.000) and Gender was not a significant factor among those exposed to both CRT and GET on reducing school phobia among secondary school students (f= 0.76, p=0.783). It was therefore recommended that School Principals, Counsellors, Psychologists and form teachers should be exposed to training in CRT and GET in re-addressing students with school phobia among others.en_US
