Abstract
The study investigated peer relations and family structure as predictors of emotional promiscuity among undergraduate students. Ninety-five (95) undergraduate students comprising 59 females and 36 males with a mean age of 20.96 and SD of 2.15 were drawn using multi-stage (cluster, simple random: by balloting and purposive) sampling techniques as participants from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. Jones (2011) Emotional Promiscuity Scale (EPS) and Aydoğdu (2022) Peer Relationship Scale, while family structure was extracted using demographic variables. A correlational design was adopted, while Hierarchical Multiple Regression statistics with the aid of SPSS version (27) to manage the data. Findings shows that peer relation (popularity Stβ= .201, t= 1.214, trust Stβ= -.137, t= -.671, insightfulness Stβ= .148, t= .790 at p< .05) did not predict emotional promiscuity. Family structure Stβ= .159, t= .997 also failed to predict emotional promiscuity at p< .05. hence, future researcher should investigate other variables that can cause or bring about significant prediction of emotional promiscuity.
