1.2.7 ELECTIC MODEL
This
model behaviour that maladaptive behaviour is not caused by a singular
factor, rather than the interaction of various factors. Therefore, it
proposes that maladjusted individuals can be helped combining at least
two treatment models or techniques or even more.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
Adesua
in Odunukwe (2008) lamented that the average Nigerian home is no more
alive to its unique responsibilities. Many parents have ignorantly or
unconsciously abandoned the training of their children in the pursuit of
wealth (Olusakin and Ubungha, 1996).
Apart from this, most home are
the seat of violence, spousal abuse and problems. It is increasing
becoming difficult these days to come by home environment where all
things work in good order for the child. In most cases, the reverse is
the case.
Coupled with these, is the ever increasing population of
our society where the home is seen as the human manufacturing company.
Thus, some homes are oversized, giving no adequate provision and
security for her members.
Closely related to that is the incidence of
maladjusted adults the make up the home. For instance some of the
parents are known for unhealthy behaviours such as smoking fighting,
disruptive behvaiours, immorality, social deviance and disregard for
law, to mention a few.
Consequent upon these problem there is an
alarming rate in the increase of maladjusted behaviour among our
adolescents. Today, our school, churches/mosques, and society are
dominated by maladjusted adolescents.
Pringly in Ifeoma (1996) in the
recent and related study discovered that prisons, mental homes,
rehabilitation hospitals, remand homes constrain a high proportion of
adolescents who from their homes lacked consistent continuous and
concerned care. This according to Odunnukwe (2008) is disastrous to the
individual and the society at large.
Based on this, the study
examined the influence of home variables on maladjusted behaviour among
adolescences in Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
1.4 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The
aim of this study is to ascertain the extent to which the have
variables influence maladjusted behaviour of adolescents. The researcher
limits this study to these variables: family or home type,
child-reaining approach, family size, socio-economic status of parent
and this study therefore examined the influence of:
1. Home type on maladjusted behaviour among adolescents in Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
2. Child-rearing approach on maladjusted behaviour among adolescents.
3. Family- size on maladjusted behaviour behaviour among adolescents.
4. Socio-economic status of parents on maladjusted behaviour among adolescents.
5. Family relationship on maladjusted behaviour among adolescents in Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
