3.2 RESEARCH POPULATION
The population of a study can be animate or inanimate things which study is focused. It could be a class, a school, libraries, towns, a Local Government Areas, states, nations or persons the research is interested in getting information from the study.
The population of this study comprises of the University of Port Harcourt students selected randomly from different departments. One thousand, two hundred (1,200) students from the department of civil and environmental engineering, one thousand, one hundred and fifty two (1,152) from the Department of Educational Management and one thousand and forty-eight (1,0 48) students from the department of mathematics and statistics.

3.3 RESEARCH SAMPLE AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
Simple random sampling technique is a probability samples that is free from bias and its sampling error is easily detected.
The respondents were gotten from three (3) departments selected by the unreplacement method of already selected departments. The students constituted the population.
A sample size of 340 students which is 10% of the total population.
The formula used was: n x 10
100

A sample size of 340 students which is 10% of the total population.
The formula used was: n x 10
100
Where:
n = total population
3400 x 10 = 340
1 100
n = total population
3400 x 10 = 340
1 100
Therefore the sample size is 340.
Number of students from the department of civil and environmental engineering =120.
Number of students from the department of educational management =115.
Number of students from the department of mathematics and statistics =105.
The selected departments are:
Department of civil and environmental engineering.
Department of educational management.
Department of mathematics and statistics.
3.4 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The research instrument used for this study was a self structured questionnaire called the influence of Western Television Programmes on Dress Sense Questionnaire (TWTPDSQ).
The questionnaire contains two parts: part one contained personal data of respondents while part two contained items structured to elicit answers to the research questions raised in the study.

3.6 METHOD OF DATA ANALYSIS
The responses obtained from the investigation were analyzed using simple percentage. Data collected were examined and compared. The chi-square t-test was used to test and analyze some selected hypothesis. The chi-square statistics X2 =
Where O = Observed frequencies
E = expected frequencies
= Summation
