This study investigated the relationships of psychological wellbeing, emotional intelligence, and locus of control to the prediction of sexual health behaviour among Nigerian adolescents. It further established the influence of gender, parents’ socio-economic factors and family structure on adolescents’ sexual health behaviour. Participants were 4,563adolescentsrandomly selected from twenty-four (24) secondary schools in 12 local government areas out of 20 in Ogun State, Nigeria.Measures of biographical data, psychological wellbeing, emotional intelligence, locus of control and sexual behaviourscales were administered on the sample. Correlation matrixand hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Results showed that all the demographic factors(ΔR2 = .04, df(3,4559) = 3.817, p< .05)and psychological wellbeing (ΔR2 = .267, β = .55, df(4,4558) = 7.123, p< .05), emotional intelligence(ΔR2 = .176, β = .37, df(5,4557) = 4.827, p < .05), locus of control(ΔR2 = .176, β = .37, df(6,4557) = 9.229, p < .05)significantly predicted adolescents’ sexual health behaviour. Findings suggest the need for the homes to play a significant role in the proper psychosocial development of the child, and must not shy away from educating the child about sexuality (reproductive healthy knowledge).
