Abstract
The study invest/gated attitudes of
Secondary School Students in llorin Metropolis toward wife battering. A total
of 300 respondents participated in the study. A self designed questionnaire
titled "Attitudes Toward Wife Battering Questionnaire" (ATWBQ) was
used for data collection. Drawing Upon Cognitive dissonance and social learning
theories, three hypotheses were formulated to identify variables of attitudes
toward wife battering. It was found, among others, that those students who come
from homes where wife battering is a daily occurrence have higher acceptability
of wife battering in a marriage relationship than their counterparts. It was
therefore recommended that counsellors should mount enlightenment campaigns in
the form of Marriage Enrichment Programmes and Conflict Resolution Seminars
aimed at teaching parents ways of resolving their conflicts.
