Identity construction among remotely acculturated non-migrant Africans: Psychological and social Implications.

The data was collected among 504 young adults. 90 of the respondents were excluded because they did not complete the survey thereby bringing the number to 414 which was analyzed in the study. Participants had been informed ahead of time a week before the administration of the questionnaire. The sample was drawn among first year students of a university in south west Nigeria. All the students who showed interest in the research through their class representatives participated in the study. The students were sufficiently briefed before the study and were assured on confidentiality and anonymity during and after the study. The number of students who showed interest at first were 120 in all, The link to the survey was subsequently sent to them and were encouraged to share the link with at least two of their colleagues and friends who may also be interested. The questionnaire was completed online through a secure survey system hosted and maintained by Sosci Survey with the website address httpp//www.sosci/survey.den/. Participants who presented the screenshots of the last page of the completed survey and that of the shared and completed survey of more than five friends in the faculty got an internet data of $1 on their phones as a compensation for the cost of data used to complete the survey and share with others.
