ABSTRACT
The study is concerned with the influence of parental support on self-concept and academic achievement of secondary school students in Udi education zone of Enugu state. Four research questions and four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted an ex-post facto design. A sample of 300 senior secondary II students were randomly selected from the 53 secondary schools that make up the zone. The sample consisted of 150 male and 150 female students. Two instruments were used for data collection. The first instrument was parental support styles questionnaire (PSSQ)/ students’ high and low self-concept questionnaire (SHLSCQ). The second instrument had to do with examination results. The instruments were validated by four experts. A pre-test/trial run to ascertain the internal consistency and reliability of the instruments was done in two secondary schools outside the area of study. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions whereas t-test was used to test the research hypotheses. The findings have indicated that parental support has significant influence on the self-concept and academic achievement of secondary school students. Also the results of the study have equally shown that gender exercises significant influence on both the self-concept and academic achievement of students in the study area. One outstanding recommendation is that positive parent- child interaction should be initiated and intensified from birth till maturity.
