Abstract
A significant body of literature attests to social relation on academic participation of students. A review of this literature led to the construction of a self-report instrument designed to measure Social Relations and academic participation. The conceptual framework underlying the designed instrument focuses on the factors that can potentially mal students' participation: these include stereotype, aggression, and prejudice. Specifically, the study seeks to measure the effect of stereotype, aggression and prejudice on the academic participation of student at the undergraduate level in the University of Buea. The correlational survey design was used for this study with a sample size 50 participants who were selected at randomly from the different levels of undergraduate student at the University of Buea.The findings brought out the results which indicate strong factor loadings of all items on their respective scales and excellent overall model fit showing that stereotype and prejudice have no significant effect on the social relations and academic participation of undergraduate students at the University of Buea while aggression has a significant effect on the social relations of undergraduate students at the University of Buea. The effect of stereotype, aggression and prejudice presented in this paper provides an essential foundation that will allow a comprehensive examination of social relations and academic participations of under graduate students at the University of Buea.
