Abstract
This study investigates factors that affect sociability ratings among youths between 10 to 30
years of age in Nigeria, using a survey carried out in Ife town. The results show that in- school
females were likely to socialize more than out of school females. Schooling was found to be
affecting youth sociability rating in general. There was also a noticeable level of reduced
socialization among out of school youths as it was found that they were less likely to interact as
much as in-school youths owing to their family backgrounds. The implication of the findings is
that schooling does affect the level of social interaction among youths in general since youths out
of school had some level of inferiority complex that prevented them from socializing with inschool
youths.
