ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescent as expressed by secondary school teachers in Ilorin metropolis. The study also investigated whether or not there would be significant difference on the perception of respondent on the basis of gender, religion, marital status and educational qualification.
Descriptive survey research procedure was adopted for the study. The purposive sampling and stratified random sampling techniques were used to draw a sample of 100 secondary school teachers in Ilorin metropolis Kwara state. The purposive sampling was used to select ten secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis.
The main research instrument employed for data collection was “Influence of Polygamy on Behaviour Patterns of Adolescent Questionnaire” (IPBPAQ). Five research questions were raised and four research hypotheses formulated and tested. Data collected were computed using frequency counts, percentages, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level.
The findings of the study indicated that there is no significant difference in the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescent as expressed by the respondents on the basis of gender, religion, marital status and educational qualification.
It was recommended that there is the need for stake holders, especially the school counsellors and teachers to give adequate attention to students’ developmental challenges and adolescents in secondary school should be exposed to counselling that will help them resolve family issues that could cause emotional problems. More so, students from polygamous homes should be helped to develop positive self image and handle overzealous attitude that could lead to unnecessary competition among siblings.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
Polygamy is a marriage which includes more than two partners (Zeitzen, 2008). When a man is married to more than one wife at a time, the relationship is called polygyny, and there is no marriage bond between the wives. When a woman is married to more than one husband at a time, it is called polyandry, and there is no marriage bond between the husbands. If a marriage includes multiple husbands and wives, it can be called group marriage (Zeitzen, 2008).
The term is used in related ways in social anthropology, socio-biology, sociology, as well as in popular speech. In social anthropology, polygamy is the practice of a person’s making him available for two or more spouses to mate with. In contrast, monogamy is a marriage consisting of only two parties.
Like monogamy, the term is often used in a de facto sense, applying regardless of whether the relationships are recognized by the state. In socio-biology and zoology, polygamy is used in a broad sense to mean any form of multiple mating.
In the last two decades, polygamy has been considered as an important issue public, political, and academic arenas (Elbedour, 2004). Polygamy in particular constitutes one of the distinctive features of the marriage in many countries and while its frequency may be declining, it is still widely practiced (Kincaid, 2003).
The Sub-Saharan Africa is the major global region where the practice remains widespread, accounting for about 20-50 percent of all marriages (Caldwell & Caldwell, 1990). Although polygamy has been practised all over the world for many centuries, there is an argument whether polygamy is appropriate or inappropriate to our society.
Some believe that polygamy is very helpful to career women who might have to work late, then go home, and take care of their children or husband. Conversely, majority believe that polygamy is inappropriate as it has a huge negative effect to the family. The common effect of polygamy is making a conflict among wives.
In polygamy, conflict among wives usually arises in the management of family. It is difficult for family management especially to arrange and sharing the task. On the other hand, it is difficult for husband to be fair to his wives. (Altman & Gmat, 1996).
Statement of the Problem
Polygamous family is characterised by unhealthy rivalry and competitions which in turn may have a lot influence on childrearing practices and behaviour patterns of young children. In the view of Ipaye (1993), polygamy leads to marriage which tears families apart and in many cases children are worst hit. It leads to change in hope of children, misbehaviour and delinquency, in assertiveness and lack of confidence.
It appears that this unfortunate conflict situation in polygamous homes poses great influence on the behaviour of young children which in turn affect every aspect of their life pursuit.
Researches have been carried out on factors responsible for polygamous marriage among men as expressed by adults in Ilorin metropolis by Afolabi (2012), the findings of the study revealed that the most common factor responsible for polygamous marriage includes health factors, religious factors, social factors and economic factors.
Also Ajiboye (2004), carried out findings on the influence of polygamy on the academic performance of student in Oke-Ero Local Government Area of Kwara State. The findings of the study revealed that polygamous family has adverse influence on the student performance.
A fairly more encompassing study is however needed to be carried out on the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescent. This is to know the influence of polygamy on the behaviour dispositions of in school adolescents and consequences on their later life.
Research Questions
The following research questions were formulated in order to guide the direction of the study:
- What is the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents?
- Is there significant difference in the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents has expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of gender?
- Is there significant difference in the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents has expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of religion?
- Is there significant difference in the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents has expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of education qualification?
- Is there significant difference in the influence of polygamy on the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents has expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of marital status?
Research Hypotheses
In order to give the research a better focus, the following null hypotheses were formulated to be tested in the study:
- There is no significant difference in the influence of polygamy and the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents as expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of gender.
- There is no significant difference in the influence of polygamy and the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents as expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of religion.
- There is no significant difference in the influence of polygamy and the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents as expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of educational qualification
- There is no significant difference in the influence of polygamy and the behaviour patterns of in-school adolescents as expressed by secondary school teachers on the basis of marital status.
