Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 3.5, Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between broken homes and adolescents behaviour in Senior Secondary Schools. Four research questions were raised: What are the causes of broken homes in the society? What is the relationship between broken home and the academic performance of adolescents in senior secondary schools? What is the relationship between broken homes and social relationship of the adolescents? What is the relationship between the emotional stability manifested and the gender sociorelationship of adolescents who come from broken home and those from intact home? There is a global awareness of the importance of the home environment on adolescents' behaviour and relationship in the society. In Nigeria, most home are not intact as a result of issues of incompatibility of the couples, misconception and misunderstanding. The home lays the bedrock of development of a child in all stages of life and it has a greater impact on how they behave in the society. Adolescents from broken home engage in risky behaviors due to lack of guidance and affection from home which makes them to be less effective among peers, schools and the society at large. The teachers commonly describe adolescents from broken homes as more hostile, aggressive, anxious, fearful, hyperactive and distractive than adolescents from intact family.
