dc.description.abstract | The proposed study aimed at examining the relationship between parenting styles and
adolescent antisocial behavior among students in Secondary Schools in Embakasi East Nairobi
County. It was mainly centered on examining how authoritative parenting style influences
adolescent antisocial behavior, determine the influence of authoritarian parenting styles on
adolescents’ involvement in antisocial behavior, examine the extent of permissive parental style
on antisocial behavior among adolescents, and finally to find out the relationship between
parenting styles and adolescents antisocial behavior. The area of study was Embakasi East in
Nairobi County and the research design was descriptive. The study used a sample of
approximately 300 students. Data was edited to remove errors and omission. Descriptive and
inferential statistics were analyzed where the measures of central tendencies were used to
summarize the data and to explain how the sample had been distributed. On the other hand,
inferential statistics were used to understand the results of the sampled population. From the
result the R coefficient was 0.554 while R square was 0.307. That meant 30.7 percent variance in
anti-social behavior was explained by authoritative parenting. The F test value was 35.574 and it
was significant at p=0.000 from the ANOVA model. The student t test decreased from 0.224 at
p=0.000 to -5.964 at p=0.000. In other words, every single unit of authoritative parenting
accounted for reduction in 5.964 units’ change in anti-social behavior. The study therefore
rejected the null hypothesis. The R coefficient was 0.610 while R square was 0.372. That meant
37.2 % difference in anti-social behavior was explained by authoritative parenting style. The F
test value was 147.118 and it was significant at p=0.000............... | en_US |
