Abstract

This study evaluated the determinants of deviant behaviour among students:

Implications for Social Science Education. Two research questions were used for the

investigation. The review of literature was completed in line with the factors under

investigation. The survey research design was used. The simple random system was

utilized in choosing 205 respondents inspected for the investigation. The result reveals that

family background and media influence are for the most part determinants of students’

deviant behaviour.

Keywords: Family background, Media, deviant behaviour, Students, Social Science,

Parents.

1. Introduction Education is globally accepted as a powerful tool for inculcating desirable behaviour, positive values,

skills, and knowledge into learners. Parents admit their wards to universities to enable them to learn

good morals and acquire skills and knowledge needed for them to be able to make the maximum

contribution to the development of self and their society. While at school, learners construct

associations with their companions and their educators. The sort of relationship that exists among

learners and their instructors can encourage their advancement of relationship that improves their

advancement of good character. The degree of connectedness among learners and others they

cooperate with at school can help offer warm help around the learners and accordingly keep them from

enjoying degenerate conduct.

Degenerated conduct is seen as anomalous or saved if it is exceptional, one of a kind

corresponding to the standard and doesn't change by what society envisions. This idea is in like manner

solidly related to the quantifiable method to manage unmistakable oddity which lays on the likelihood

that qualifications in human direct will by and large fall into a run of the mill movement bend. A

particular lead isn't palatable or is withdrawn if any of these three criteria are seen; the director doesn't

allow a person to work effectively with others as a resident if the director doesn't permit the person to

address their issues and the lead has an adverse effect in the success of others (Roberts, 2011).

Educationists are truly worried about delivering graduates that are equipped for inspiring

practices that are alluring. Degenerated conduct is any conduct displayed by individuals from a

gathering or society which is at fluctuation with set up rules of the gathering or society (Idris, 2016). It

has been noticed that freak conduct increments all-inclusive yearly. Degenerate conduct short chains

the reason for training by affecting contrarily on educating and learning in school. Without great order

in teachers will think that it’s hard to educate and learners can't adapt viably (Hayden, 2011).

Learners’ deviant manner is an upcoming issue in the University of Calabar and the overall

population today. There exists a wide scope of components that can be blamed for this issue. During

the latest decade of the twentieth century, people began examining for answers to this issue which is

frequenting Nigeria today. Various grievous demonstrations of mass savagery incorporate happened

inside the latest decades that have gotten the thought of individuals as a rule. Beginning at now, no one

can offer the right reaction to the issue or the inspiration driving why it occurs considering the way that

there is no right answer yet and nobody can be sure that they know the explanation. All they have to

pass by are the appraisals of different people (Roberts, 2011).

For example, starting late, an extending number of students at the University of Calabar are

executing wild infringement. Regardless of the way that the results of these horrendous bad behaviors

are adequately apparent, the causes behind them are routinely review and cloud, making it difficult to

nail deficiency to a lone source. Also, this freak direct among youths can be credited to a mix of a

couple of summarized factors (McClearn, and Johnson, 2018). Ogidefa (2018) battles that driving

contributing components of students degenerate practices in schools fuse family establishment, the

media, peer pressure/sway, wide abuse of prescriptions and alcohol, the clear passage to weapons, and

nonattendance of strong control that exists for immature liable gatherings. He further communicates

that if this climb in strong acts is to be stemmed, the purposes behind youth severity must be settled

and separated to make sense of which ones, if any can be impacted by the change.

Students dismissal and abuse by family members, an acquaintance of the student with parental

violations and lead and exhibitions of fierceness, the availability and usage of dangerous weapons and

meds at home, division or remarriage of either parent are a segment of the family conditions that

unfavorably influence on the youthful's direct.

Youngsters are twenty to multi-year-olds and therefore their step by step life at home, at school,

and even among their companions is development driven. The new media overpower their lives. They

are constantly drawn in with the "performing different errands" process: they deal with the discussion

and they moreover send messages, visit on the casual association and even view YouTube on their

phones at the same time. Additionally, youngsters over expend the web-based life, and they may

encounter the evil impacts of direct perils, for instance, tormenting, click-confining, sexting, Facebook

distress, anxiety, cut off withdrawal, and foolish practices (O'Keeffe, Clarke-Pearson and Council on

Communications and Media, 2011).

Ushie, Doris, Adams, Amina Odugbo and Ekuri, Patrick George

Young people will undoubtedly respect peer weight and show forbidden lead that may

contrarily influence themselves or on others. What's more, Lukman and Kamadi (2014) fight that the

partner pack pressure impacts what the energetic characteristics, knows, wears, eats, and learns and

that youngsters show irksome direct in social affairs, not independently.

Fear of students' deteriorated directly is steady stress for some people wherever all through the

world. Kids seem to take up infringement that is commonly committed by adults past 18 years of age.

"Estimations confirm that logically evil infringement is being committed by dynamically progressively

young students" (Levine, 2017). Youth violence is a wonder in all countries, and augmentations in

youth declined lead has been of amazing stress over the span of ongoing years wherever all through the

world. A segment of the augmentations in youth bad behavior has come about given changes in the

way ruthless youth rehearses have been responded to (Levine, 2017).

The fundamental issue going up against most youth in Nairobi is a breakdown in the

transmission of social qualities and standards which should occur through the family and the

neighborhood network (Sifuna, 2018). He further contends this is strengthened by the frequently poor

physical condition, deficient or ineffectively appropriated financial and entertainment openings in the

city, and the absence of social help. The breakdown of conventional authorizations to battle the way of

life of brutality empowers the pattern of savagery to proceed. One of the immediate outcomes is the

development of youth to the roads. The family and the school have stopped working as essential

mingling specialists, and numerous adolescents in Nairobi have settled on an actual existence in road

posses or in social gatherings which are like "gangs‟. The road culture or group has become the

essential mingling specialist and companionship encouraging group of people (Sifuna, 2018).

Progressively fundamental ones including the adolescent join prescription and substance abuse,

breaking and taking, ambush, prostitution, equipped burglary, and medicine managing. It was the

objective of the analyst to examine to set up the clear parts influencing degenerate conduct among

students at the University of Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. This is a result of how the youth are

the future chiefs of any country in this way freak direct among them may jump the country into

significant crisis at present and later on.

1.2. Theoretical System

This study is grounded on the Self-Regulatory Theory by Leventhal, Safer, and Pangais (1983).

This theory was propounded by Leventhal et al (1983). The hypothesis states that, for the most

part, individuals are roused to control their conduct to dodge commitment in an oddity direct, and that

they adequately remove information from their condition and experience to characterize plans and

exercises to adjust to drives that lead to delinquent lead. The significance of this speculation to this

examination is that the immature stood up to with danger of participating in the degenerate lead could

dependably control their drive to heretic direct by viably utilizing information as gave by lead change

preparing programs, social gauges, and information from their condition. Such information enables the

youthful to detail plans and endeavor exercises, which engage them to adjust to drives to take an

interest in the crack lead.

1.3. Purpose of the Study

The essence of this investigation is to assess the determinants of deviant behaviours among the

University of Calabar students and its implications to Social Science Education.

Specifically, the study sought to:

i. evaluate the family background of students and deviant behaviour

ii. Assess media influence on deviant behaviour



1.4. Research Questions

The accompanying investigation questions were stated

i. To what level does family background affect learners' deviant behaviour?

ii. What is the extent of media influence on deviant behaviour?

2. Literature Review Moore, (2015) opined that it is currently sufficient and amassing proof in created and creating nations

that the conditions under which youngsters and youngsters grow up are significant for their

psychological and physical wellbeing, and enthusiastic, social and scholarly advancement. A titanic

extent of factors effects and shape their lives. Nearby and family destitution, poor housing, and normal

conditions, all significantly influence family life and the idea of such thought (Edwin, 2017).

A couple of characteristics of the family influence the energetic direct at school (Oloyede and

Adesina, 2013). Since pre-adulthood is considered as the "whirlwind and stress" period ordered by

parental conflicts, mien aggravations and peril direct the three sorts pf kid raising styles, to be explicit

versatile, tolerant and despot styles influence the young lead (Fiest, 2013). According to Garcia and

Santiago (2017), versatile gatekeepers offer warmth and control also and therefore the adolescent

understands the need to obey to rules and they become poise; tolerant watchmen are exorbitantly kind

to their children to such an extent, that they recognize their direct decisions – they can't show them and,

out of mindlessness, they ingrain insubordination and against social lead in them, dictator gatekeepers

power concludes that are non-begging to be proven wrong and when children don't obey they are

repelled. An inordinate measure of the master on the juvenile may decrease the self-concept, and the

limit of basic reasoning and amazing correspondence (Rahman, Shahrin and Kamaruzaman, 2017).

Romina (2013) analyzed deviant conduct in schools and how it impacts on learners learning.

The examination drew its example from a populace of government schools in Edo State, Nigeria. The

example involved 500 instructors chosen through simple random testing methods from twenty optional

schools in the state. The poll was the tool for information assortment from the respondents.

Unmistakable insights were utilized in the investigation of information. The discoveries uncovered that

deviant conduct was predominant in urban and rural schools however was more common in urban

schools than in rustic schools. The discoveries further uncovered that the degree of pervasive of

degenerate conduct in enormous schools was more than in little schools. Deviant conduct seriously

affected on learners' learning. The investigation finished up by prescribing the appropriation of

selecting two principals to head huge schools. Principals of huge schools should utilize joint effort with

school supervisory crew to adequately battle degenerate practices.

The family, consequently, goes about as a mingling operator. Learners may build up a specific

distance to others at school contingent upon the prohibitive lenient parental conduct – reliance

autonomy; ascendance-accommodation; and collaboration rivalry (Kumari and Kumar, 2017). This

affects young people's social aptitudes and mentalities.

As per Doggett (2018), the nonappearance of a male parent fundamentally influences the

conduct of children. He further stated that such absence has a great influence on a child's involvement

with drug usage and sexual activity. Males whose fathers were absent had the highest rate of

delinquency. Also according to Mullens (2014), the presence of a functioning father in the home is

associated with positive adjustment in children. Citing the study of Mccarthy (2012),

Mullan (2014), further stated that an intact home enjoys the socialization roles of both father

and mother. Children who are living with their natural fathers and mothers show significantly fewer

incidences of fighting, delinquency, isolation, and generally benefits from living in an intact home.

According to Thornberry (2019), the structure of the family is an aspect consistently associated with

child deviance.



Lannap, (2017) looked at family cohesiveness concerning child deviant acts; stating that eroded

family values, loss of family ties damaged relationships had resulted in delinquency or even criminal

behavior on the part of members. Buttressing this point Swick (2014) also stated that the type of

relationship between the child and parents or other caregivers influence the development of a healthy

personality or otherwise. A happy and satisfying relationship within the family is associated with the

ability to experience empathy, self-esteem, and interpersonal trust (Santrock, 2015).

Child‟s deviant behavior has also been consistently linked to seeing ruinous between parental

clash, encountering physical maltreatment or the blend, to diminished passionate wellbeing and issue

conduct of kids. (Santrock, 2015). Hagan and Foster (2011) expressed that different exposures to

brutality are significant wellsprings of delinquency in children. In line with this opinion, Prochnow and

Defronzo (2017) observed, conflicts within stepfamilies also have serious effects on the child.

Reiss, Hetherington, Plamin, Howe, Simmens, Henderson, O‟Connor, Bussell, Anderson and

Law (2015), conducted a study that examined the relationship between differences in parenting style

and depressive symptoms and antisocial behavior in adolescents and compared the influences of these

non-shared experiences with genetic influence. They studied 708 families with at least two same-sexed

siblings who were monozygotic twins (93 families) dizygotic twins (99 families), ordinary siblings (95

families), and full siblings in stepfamilies (181 families). It if siblings in stepfamilies (110 families)

and genetically unrelated siblings in stepfamilies (130 families) Data were collected by questionnaire

and by video recording of interaction between parents and children. Results revealed approximately

60% of the variance in adolescent antisocial behavior and 37% of the variance in depressive symptoms

could be accounted for by conflictual and negative parental behavior directed specifically at the

adolescent. However, when a parent-directed harsh, aggressive, and inconsistent parenting towards the

sibling, there was a less psychopathologic outcome in, the adolescent. This thus stresses the importance

of familial factors in the development of psychopathic behavior. This finding is found relevant in

supporting the findings of the current research especially to the influences of family context on child‟s

deviance. The study sample and results are adequately expressed. The use of video recording for data

collection is found innovative. However, it is not clear how the recorded data were analyzed.

Furthermore, the monetary status of the family may affect the lead of the pre-grown-up. Khaliq,

Baig, Ameen, and Mirza (2016) found that there is a moderate positive association between parental

compensation/status/occupation and the adolescent's academic introduction and direct. In a

comparative vein, Sonali (2016) certified that students from low money related status have a

progressively conspicuous educational weight and right now issue than those with high budgetary

status. Arum and Ford (2012) incorporate that the more broad the fiscal irregularity and social partition

among youngsters at schools, the more problematic they are.

The nonappearance of parental consideration in the school practices in like manner may ask

students to be irksome. In reality, gatekeepers can't leave the commitment of limiting students onto the

school just; they should collaborate with the school (De Atouguia, 2014). Parental participation

develops a positive sentiment of sufficiency into understudies whose certainty is brought and up as

such, they show less problematic lead (Garcia and Santiago, 2017; Masabo, Muchopa, and Kuoth,

2017). It is in this manner away from a nonappearance of parental intrigue and sponsorship in the

approval of school discipline is likely going to add to understudy inconvenience making (Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, 2012; Khumalo, 2012).

Violence in the media has become a normal illegal relationship. Todd (2019) sees that violence

and sex in music, films, TV, and PC games stance such a certified hazard to children and youngsters.

Aimee (2013) puts over those youths who view communication media violence will undoubtedly have

extended suppositions of opposing vibe, lessened excited response to the delineation of fierceness and

injury that lead to savage direct through pantomime. There are various requests whether TV

viciousness realizes progressively mighty or degenerate direct and if such lead is most likely going to

provoke criminal lead. Late examinations have shown that even the most obliging ventures on TV, for

instance, child's shows, are stacked up with viciousness.



Mbuthia (2013) analyzed the apparent components related to freak conduct among adolescents

living in Njathaini semi-ghetto. The investigation set was a casual setting and the objective populace

were the young matured between 15 to 35 years. Data on the types of degenerate conduct just as

theorized financial and psychosocial factors that impact freak conduct was gathered utilizing an

organized poll. Information on degenerate conduct was collected using a set of questions that were

aggregated together during analysis to generate individual deviant behaviour score. The study used a

descriptive survey design methodology. Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential

statistics and was done at a 0.05 level of significance. Multiple regressions were used to establish the

perceived factors that are significantly associated with deviant behaviour.

The study involved 395 youths that represented an 87.78% response rate. Purposive sampling

was carried out to ensure gender balance. About 80% of the youth had secondary education and below.

Education attainment did not differ significantly between male and female youths. Two-thirds of the

youth had never been married and were not in any employment. The most common forms of deviant

behavior were drug use (92%), pre-marital sex (91%), and alcohol use (87%). These youth deviant

behaviours were highly correlated. Perception of youth deviant behaviour was positively associated

with employment status, training, and skills as well as the duration of stay in the slums. The youth who

were in employment perceived positively existence of deviant behaviour while the unemployed

negatively. Socio-economic factors were found to be of statistical significance to the deviant behaviour

of the youths in the study area. On socio-psychological factors, those who had stayed in the slum for

six years or more perceived the deviant behaviour to be low among the slum youth. The married youth

were often faced with many challenges that mainly included lack of finances and unfaithfulness.

Further, the majority of the youth were involved in youth groups. The group activities were largely

positive ones. The perceived factors were of statistical significance to youth deviant behaviours in the

area. Youth deviant behaviour in the study community is evident. The government should build

institutes of technology to retain the number of inhabitants in the young people who don't make it to

college and other center level schools. The investigation suggested direction and guiding by applicable

associations to the adolescents on the risks of taking part in degenerate conduct.

Steven (2010) in his exploring on the impact of reported mass crimes followed by the killer's

suicide on the suicide rate, communicates that assessment of mass manslaughter suicides that was

made sure about on at any rate two TV news frameworks found that incorporation was connected with

a colossal augmentation in suicides. Violence in the media negatively impacts human lead.

What's more, adolescents overconsume the online life, and they may encounter the evil impacts

of direct perils, for instance, tormenting, click-confining, sexting, Facebook wretchedness, anxiety, cut

off partition, and foolish practices (O'Keeffe, Clarke-Pearson, and Council on Communications and

Media, 2011). Also, PC games play is connected with extended compelling behavior from youngsters

(Holferth, 2010) and overconsumption of media violence through PC games and TV causes

adolescents to turn out to be even more verbally and socially powerful with various young people and

they become less prosocial lead (Gentile, Coyne and Walsh, 2011).

Additionally, the broad communications effectively teach degenerate conduct and practices among

youthful learners who build up an off-base picture of sex, love and fondness and a celebrated image of

viciousness in the public arena (Ngwokabuenui, 2015). Immature practices are along these lines contrarily

affected by media in the present time of quick mechanical changes (Beebeejaun-Muslum, 2014).

5. Discussion of Findings 5.1. Research Question One

Considering the fabulous mean of 3.12 as against the foreseen mean of 2.5, the investigation question

one can henceforth be tended to that family foundation impact learners' degenerate conduct. The

finding of this examination agrees with Doggett (2018) that the nonappearance of a male parent

essentially influences the conduct of kids. He further expressed that such nonappearance has an

incredible impact on youngster's association with tranquilizing utilization and sexual movement. Guys

whose fathers were missing had a most noteworthy pace of wrongdoing. The finding of the

investigation likewise underpins Mullan (201 that a flawless home appreciates the socialization jobs of

both dad and mother. Youngsters who are living with their regular dads and moms show altogether less

frequency of battling, misconduct, disengagement, and by and large advantages from living in a

flawless home.

The finding of the investigation is in tandem with Lannap, (2017) that family cohesiveness

concerning child deviant acts; stating that eroded family values, loss of family ties damaged

relationship had resulted in delinquency or even criminal behavior on the part of members. Buttressing

this point Swick (2014) also stated that the type of relationship between the child and parents or other

caregivers influence the development of a healthy personality or otherwise. An upbeat and fulfilling

relationship inside the family is related to the capacity to encounter compassion, confidence, and

relational trust (Santrock, 2015).

5.2. Research Question Two

Considering the astounding mean of 3.08 as against the predicted mean of 2.5, the examination

question two would thus be able to be kept an eye on that media sway students' oddity direct. The

finding of this investigation is in likeness with O'Keeffe, Clarke-Pearson, and Council on

Communications and Media (2011) that young people overconsume the online life, and they may

encounter the evil impacts of direct perils, for instance, bugging, click-forming, sexting, Facebook

trouble, apprehension, cut off partition, and inconsequential practices. This is furthermore supported by

Gentile, Coyne, and Walsh (2011) that additionally, PC games play is connected with extended strong

direct from youngsters and overconsumption of media viciousness through PC games and TV causes

adolescents to turn out to be even more verbally and socially mighty with various youngsters and they

become a less prosocial lead.

The finding of the examination in like manner supports Ngwokabuenui (2015) that the

expansive correspondences adequately show degenerate direct and practices among adolescent students

who develop a misguided image of sex, love, and companionship and a praised picture of severity in

the open field. The above confirmation is in like manner reinforced by Aimee (2013) who puts over

that kids who view communication media mercilessness will undoubtedly have extended suppositions

of adversarial vibe, decreased enthusiastic response to the portrayal of brutality, and injury that lead to

savage direct through pantomime. There are various requests whether TV violence realizes

dynamically commanding or crack lead and if such director is most likely going to incite criminal

directly. Continuous examinations have shown that even the kindest tasks on TV, for instance, child's

shows, are stacked up with viciousness.

6. Implication for Social Science Education The examination can help engage Social Science teachers to make the adequate course of action on the

most ideal approach to ensure that the huge level of freak direct among students is diminished to

unimportant levels just as abstained from. On the understudies, it can go far in ensuring or implanting a

satisfactory lifestyle and perception towards one's lead.



The examination is intended to engage commendable social standards and stimulate a purified

circumstance freed from viciousness, debasement, and other social issues by showing students on the

essentialness of watching extraordinary practices. Moreover, the investigation can add to

understanding the powers affecting the improvement of deviant conduct in students by revealing the

influences of major socializing agents on the development of students’ deviance.

Social Scientists can find the results of this study beneficial by gaining insight into how

determinants of deviant bahaviour contribute to the development of deviant behaviour. They can, therefore,

use it as a base to pressure the government on the need to strengthen the family unit thereby reducing

deviance among the young. It can also help them to come up with effective treatment plans for problem

behaviour in students. This study can be relevant in curriculum planning and future researches.

7. Conclusion Following the outcomes got from this research, it was concluded that: family background and media

influence are all determinants of students’ deviant behaviour. The understudy is a defenseless

individual who is handily affected by the school, his/her own family, his/her companions at school or

in the system, the disperses in the system, and the bleeding edge of new media that is a fundamental

piece of his/her life. For the pre-grown-up to have an achievable positive lead, he/she ought to get the

fitting bearing from the school, the family, the colleagues, the media, and the system.

All of these social structures must be kid-focused and works determinedly and agreeably to the

upsides of the understudy. From the study of the composition, it is directly apparent that inconvenient

lead is a socio-energetic issue that may be appreciated remarkably by reacting essentially to the

instructing of socio-enthusiastic aptitudes to extend the understudy's social wellness and self-discipline.

8. Recommendations Thinking about the disclosures of the assessment, the foregoing proposals were made;

1. The Ministry of Education or the higher informational authorities sets up a school-based unit

for enlightening advisors, social workers, general prosperity authorities, and remarkable

educators who may work agreeably with the general preparing teachers to recognize, intercede

and imply the occasions of students who are at risk for demonstrating hazardous lead.

2. Besides, the school ought to use a gathering approach among the school, the family, and the

community and government assistance officials with the goal that a worldwide methodology is

received to forestall and dispense with behavior issues at school.
