Abstract

A study of undergraduate students at Dennis Osadebay University in Anwai, Delta State, examined their reading habits and social lives. Students from Delta State's Dennis Osadebay University made up the study's population. A questionnaire with the subject line "Reading Habit and Social Life of Undergraduate Student [RHSLUS]" was used to gather the data. 50 questionnaires were distributed, and 50 were returned. Simple percentage statistical tools were used. Four research questions were developed. Utilising frequency counts and percentages, data were evaluated. The study found that kids' motivation to read is influenced by entertainment. It was discovered that students' social lives and reading habits are related because they develop their reading habits by reading aloud to their friends and classmates during class. The study also showed that social media and societal influences had a significant impact on students' social lives. Making a reading schedule and establishing a clear reading objective are the greatest tactics to use when trying to balance students' social lives and reading habits. According to the survey, kids should learn fundamental life skills that will enable them to resist peer pressure and digital diversions.
