Abstract: This study examined the individual and collective contributions of selected psychosocial variables to overschooling at the tertiary education level. This ex-post-facto research randomly selected 500 graduate students from the University of Uyo for the study. The Self-assessment Graduate Overschooling Questionnaire (S-GOQ) was used in obtaining data. Chi square statistics and regression analysis were used in testing the two hypotheses in the study. The results indicate that there is significant relationship between overschooling and each of the selected psychosocial variables while the variables returned a no significant collective effect on overschooling. The implication of these findings for psychoacademic intervention was drawn.
