ABSTRACT
The study investigated personality type, parenting style and socioeconomic status
as predictors of adolescents’ delinquency behaviour among three hundred and
sixty (360) secondary school students from Nsukka Local Government Area. They
consist of both male and females aged 10 – 17 years with a mean age of 13.5
years. Three instruments were used such as; Type A behaviour scale, parental
bonding Instrument and the Self report delinquency scale. Multiple regression
analysis was used for data analysis and showed a significant effect of the
predictors variables; personality type, (β= .79, P < .05) and parenting style (β = -
.27, P < .001) on the dependent variable, adolescents delinquency behaviour. The
findings showed that personality type and parental style are significant predictors
of adolescents’ delinquency behaviour among secondary school student. Thus, the
implications of the study were highlighted and suggestions were made for further
studies.
