The study attempted to examine the influence of need satisfaction on proneness to stealing among students at University of Lagos. Some literatures were reviewed under relevant sub-headings.

The descriptive survey research design was employed in this study in order to assess the opinions of the selected respondents using the questionnaire and the sampling technique.

A total of 120 (one hundred and twenty) respondents were selected and used as sample of this study. Also three null hypotheses were formulated, tested and analysed using the independent t-test statistical tool and chi-square at 0.05 level of significance.

At the end of the analysis, the following results emerged:

1.       Hypothesis one found that there is a significant influence of need satisfaction on proneness to stealing among students in schools.

All the null hypothesis were tested at 0.05 level of significance.
