    This study determined the level of social self-concept of tertiary institution students in Osun State. It also examined the relationship between perceived parental involvement and social self-concept of students. The study also investigated the relationship between locus of control and social self-concept of the students and examined the contribution of demographic variables such as age, sex, and tertiary institution type on students’ social self-concept. These were with a view to providing empirical information on status of tertiary institution students’ social self-concept and factors that could be responsible for it. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population for the study comprised the students in the tertiary institution in Osun State. A total sample of 1440 students were selected in stages. First, stratified sampling technique was used to select six tertiary institutions (two Universities, two Polytechnics and two Colleges of Education) using institution ownership as a stratum (public and private). Second, from each institution, three faculties/schools were common to all institutions were selected using purposive sampling technique making a total of 18 faculties/schools selected for the study. Eighty students were disproportionately selected from each Faculty/School using convenience sampling technique. The study adapted an instrument “Questionnaire on Perceived Parental Involvement and Social Self-Concept (QPILCSSC)” to elicit data from the respondents. Data collected were analysed using percentages and frequency counts, Pearson product moment correlation analysis, point bi-serial correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Specifically, research question one was answered using percentages and frequency counts, while hypotheses one, two and three were tested using Pearson product moment correlation, point biserial correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis respectively. The results showed that 921 (69.6%) of tertiary institution students in Osun state exhibited high level of social self-concept while 381 (28.8%) and 22 (1.7%) of the students exhibited moderate and low levels of social self-concepts respectively. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between perceived parental involvement and social self-concept of tertiary institution students in Osun State (r = 0.526, p-value = 0.000). Furthermore, the results showed that the relationship between locus of control and social self-concept of students was significant (r = 0.437; p = 0.000). Finally, the results showed that there was significant influence of students’ demographic variables such as age institutional type (𝛽 = 8.069, t = 9.540, p = 0.000); age (𝛽 = 0.673, t = 3.551, p = 0.000); and sex (𝛽 = -0.879, t = -0.612, p = 0.541) on students’ social self-concept. The study concluded that social self-concept of tertiary institution students in Osun State was high and that perceived parental involvement, locus of control, institution type and age were potent factors that could positively predict social self-concept of students..
