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.
