Abstract
This study explored the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, age, gender and
anxiety among Nigerian students. A total of 322 participants (207 females, 115 males; ages
15–35, M = 22.33, SD = 4.583) were selected from secondary schools and higher institutions
using availability and purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Zung Self-Rating
Anxiety Scale (Zung, 1971) and the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (Felitti et
al., 1998), with age and gender recorded as demographic variables. A correlational design
was employed, and data were analysed using Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS 27.
Findings indicate that adverse childhood experiences show a moderate positive correlation
with anxiety (r = .478* at p<.05), gender positively correlated with anxiety (r = .620* at
p<.05). This emphasizing the influence of early-life experiences on students’ mental health.
