The study investigated psychological and social correlates of students' interest in schooling in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The design for the study was ex-post-facto research design. The population of the study was 300 students from 10 selected schools in the local government area. A questionnaire tagged "Student School Interest Scale" (SSIS) was used to collect data for the study. The reliability of the instrument was 0.65. Four research questions as well as hypotheses were formulated for the study. The data collected were analyzed with mean and standard deviation for research questions, while the hypotheses were tested with independent t-test statistics. From the analysis, self-esteem, locus of control and parental educational level had significant relationship with students interest in schooling whereas peer group was not significantly related to students interest in schooling. Based on the findings, it was recommended that teachers and parents should try and build self- confidence in their wards/students as it could boost students' interest in learning and improve their attitude towards school.
