FAMILY
FACTORS AS DETERMINANTS OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS
ABSTRACT
This study
examined family factors as determinants of deviant behaviours among primary
school
pupils in
Awgu Education Zone of Enugu State. To guide the study, seven research
questions were
posed and
five hypotheses formulated. The study adopted correlational research design.
The
population
of the study comprised of all the public primary six pupils in Awgu Education
Zone of
Enugu State.
The population of the study was four thousand six hundred and four 4,604
primary
six pupils
in the education zone out of which 821 pupils were drawn as sample for the
study. A
questionnaire
was used as instrument for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to
answer
research questions one, six and seven, while Pearson product moment correlation
coefficient
was used to answer research questions two, three, four and five. Regression
analysis
was used to
test hypotheses one, two, three and four, while ANOVA was used to text
hypotheses
five. The
major findings of the study revealed that primary school pupils exhibited 12
out of 15
types of
deviant behaviours such as indulging in exam malpractice, not devoted to
studies,
Bullying
weaker pupils, fighting among pupils, lateness to school, and keeping bad
friends among
others as
identified. It also showed that authoritarian family leadership style had a
significant
relationship
on primary school pupil’s deviant behaviour. Again it was discovered that
authoritative
family leadership style also called assertive, democratic or balance family
leadership
style had
significant relationship on pupil’s deviant behaviour negatively. Moreover
permissive
family
leadership style had also shown a significant relationship on primary school
pupils’ deviant
behaviour.
The result also indicated that neglectful family leadership style had
significant
relationship
on primary school pupils’ deviant behaviour. Furthermore, the result showed
that
family size
had a significant influence on deviant behaviour exhibited by primary school
pupils in
Awgu
Education Zone of Enugu state. It was also discovered that all the thirteen
(13) strategies
such as
organizing orientation or public enlightenment programmes through
parents-Teachers-
Association
meeting to educate parents on good parental child rearing practices, assigning
functions to
children that exhibit deviant behaviours to keep them focus on worthwhile
activities,
Rewarding
and praising children who have good behaviour, and assigning models to role
play by
pupils with
deviant behaviours as identified by the researcher can be used to curb deviant
behaviours
among primary school pupils. These results were discussed in relation to
previous
findings of
similar studies and the educational implications of the findings were
highlighted. Also
recommendations
were made based on family factors as determinants of deviant behaviours
among pupils
and the limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies were also
pointed
out.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
Family has
been universally perceived as a small but powerful unit and the oldest
institution
in the history of human existence that helps in the character formation of the
child and
moulding of
behaviour of the individual in the society. This is because family is the
fundamental
and basic
social unit for human development and also the primary agent for socialization
of
children.
According to Macionis (2007) family is a social institution found in all
societies that
unites
people in cooperative groups to care for one another including children. Family
is a social
unit made up
of father, mother, children and blood relations (Okonkwo, 2005). Similarly,
Ononuju
(2005)
opined that family is a unit of people tied together by bonds of marriage,
birth or adoption,
having in
most cases a common abode. The authour also maintained that man and woman as
the
first
members of the family have obligations towards the younger members as they
arrive and that
involves
inculcating social norms such as love, care, cooperation and discipline among
her
members.
Buttressing further, the author posited that when families fail in these basic
functions, a
faulty
foundation is laid which will result in faulty adult behaviours such as
corruption and all
kinds of
indiscipline. In the context of this study, Family can also be seen as a
kinship group of
two or more
persons who live in the same household and are related by marriage or adoption.
Family also
performs certain functions for their sustainability and wellbeing.
Family
performs many functions such as reproduction or procreation, protection and
care of
young ones,
educational functions and provision of shelter (home) (Sunil, 2011).
Reproduction or
procreation
is an essential function which the family performs in all societies. The family
along
with
regulating the sexual behaviour in relation to the satisfaction of sexual needs
secures a
legitimate
basis for procreation. This function of the family contributes to the
continuity of family and ultimately perpetuates the human race.
