ABSTRACT
Watching
movies has been an habit among students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria due
to the accessibility and influx of foreign and local home video targeted at them.
It is on this motion that this research investigates the influence of home
video on the moral behaviour of students. The research is quantitative with the
use of cross sectional survey research method. The data collection instrument
used in eliciting data from the respondents is questionnaire. Respondents were
drawn from the Lead City University, using simple random sampling techniques. The
research is anchored on cultivation theory and behavior theory. Research
findings showed that, a great number of students in Lead University have access
to lots of home videos and spending lots of hours. To this end, it is recommended
that Nigerian Film Censor Board and other regulating agencies should monitor
and filter films before sending them for sale. This is to upgrade the moral
behavior of students.
