ABSTRACT

The study examines the effect of polygamy and large family size on students’ academic performance in selected secondary schools in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State.  The descriptive research survey was employed in the assessment of the respondents’ opinions with the aid of a questionnaire. A total of 350 (three hundred and fifty) respondents made up (175 males and 175 females) were selected to represent the entire population of the study. Four (4) hypotheses were tested in this study, with the aid of the independent t-test statistical tool for hypotheses one, three and four, while hypothesis two was tested with the use of the Pearson Product Moment Correlational Coefficient statistical instrument. All the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. At the end of the data analyses, the following results were obtained; that there is a significant effect of polygamy on students’ social adjustment, there is a significant relationship between polygamous/large family size and students’ academic performance, there is no significant difference between the performance of students who live in polygamous/large family size and those in monogamous/small family size, and there is a significant impact of lack of fatherly attention on students’ academic performance in school.
