Abstract:
Deviant behaviors among secondary school students pose significant concerns for educational institutions and society at large. Understanding the factors that contribute to such behaviors is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies. This study investigates the relationship between socio-economic status and deviant behaviors among Nigerian secondary school students.

The study employs a quantitative research design, utilizing a sample of secondary school students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds across Nigeria. Data collection is conducted through a structured questionnaire that includes standardized measures of deviant behaviors and socio-economic status. The questionnaire is administered to a representative sample of students, ensuring a balanced representation across gender, grade level, and geographical location.

The findings indicate a significant association between socio-economic status and deviant behaviors among Nigerian secondary school students. Students from lower socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to engage in deviant behaviors compared to their counterparts from higher socio-economic backgrounds. The study further explores the specific types of deviant behaviors exhibited by students, such as substance abuse, delinquency, aggression, and academic misconduct.

Several potential mechanisms are proposed to explain the relationship between socio-economic status and deviant behaviors. These include limited access to quality education, economic hardships, family dynamics, peer influence, and lack of positive role models. The study also considers the impact of cultural factors and societal norms on deviant behaviors among Nigerian secondary school students.

The implications of these findings are significant for educators, policymakers, and practitioners involved in addressing deviant behaviors among secondary school students in Nigeria. By recognizing the influence of socio-economic status, interventions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Efforts can be directed towards providing equal educational opportunities, enhancing support systems, and fostering positive social environments within schools.

In conclusion, this study highlights the association between socio-economic status and deviant behaviors among Nigerian secondary school students. The findings underscore the importance of addressing socio-economic disparities and implementing targeted interventions to promote positive behaviors and academic success among all students, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds.

Keywords: socio-economic status, deviant behaviors, secondary school students, Nigeria, intervention, education, disparities.
