There is currently a need for more researches to investigate indicators of
voluntary/compulsive non-income generating activities and, or behaviour among adult
females. Participants of the study were subjected to the quasi-experimental research
design adopting the 5x1x5 matrices and 143 adult females screened through the Work
Disposition Scale (WDS) and selected from four locations in two Local Government
areas of Edo State, Nigeria. Participants were exposed to 5 weeks of intervention using
selected work/career enrichment programmes submerged in four psychotherapies.
Participants notably in the four intervention groups (i.e. ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’) except
those of ‘E’ showed appreciable Mean-score differences in behavioural outcomes that
ranged between 45 and 57 (i.e. 98.8%) with only 1.2% depletion.Behavioural outcome
using the ANCOVAR that compared Fisher’s value [F(8, 268)=4.91;P<0.05] as well as
[F(4, 138)=7.98; P<0.05] involving all post-interventions using the ANOVAR indicated
that there were significant therapeutic effects. Overall, the reframing psychotherapy
(X=75.3) was more effective for managing voluntary/
Compulsive behaviour in adult females
