ABSTRACT
The moral decadence in society
cannot be overemphasized. This study investigated the moral conflicts bc1vcen adolescents
and their parents. The population of the study consisted of two subsets. One of
them was made of adolescents who are students in tertiary institutions. Parents
of adolescents formed the Second subset. A sample of eight hundred and forty
adolescents was randomly selected from two university campuses and a
polytechnic campus. Two hundred and four parents of adolescents were randomly
selected from various work places. Subjects received structured. Validated and
pretested questionnaires to which they made responses. The data collected were
analyzed by cross tabulation and the use of chi-square statistics. Twenty- live
areas of moral conflict were reported by adolescents and eleven by parents. The
chi-square test showed that marital status and religion had a relationship with
parenting styles. Implications of the findings were highlighted. If was
recommended that governmental and nongovernmental agencies should endeavor to
sensitize parents on the need to adopt the authoritative style of parenting.
Appropriate youth programs should be set up to engage adolescents in positive
social exploration.
