Adolescents’ Moral Issues and Counselling Intervention on the Family Psycho-Socio Security Problems

Abstract

The family is very important in any society because it is the basic unit in today’s society. Though small, it is playing a significant role in the country. The moral training of the adolescent child starts from the family and this is what the adolescent child exhibits outside the family. A total number of 100 parents and adolescents were sampled in Akoko East Local Government Area in Ondo State, Nigeria. The subjects were exposed to Family Security and Moral Issues Questionnaire (FSMDQ) consisting of 30 items. Four hypotheses were postulated. The data were analysed using chi-square statistics. Results showed that family consciousness, personal and rented apartments, insecurity and moral problems were all significantly related to general insecurity in Nigeria.
