dc.description.abstractThis research explores the influence of Child Upbringing parental styles on the personal values of adolescents attending selected Pentecostal churches in Ede South Local Government, Osun State, Nigeria. It aims to identify prevalent parental styles in child upbringing, understand the personal values exhibited by adolescents, examine the associations between parental styles in child upbringing and personal values, assess the influence of the religious environment in Pentecostal churches on personal values, and compare variations in parental styles in child upbringing and personal values among adolescents from different Pentecostal churches. The study employs a quantitative approach and a comparative design, using a questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 200 adolescents. The influence of parental styles on personal values is significant, with denominational variations. Findings reveal that parents in these religious communities significantly exhibit the four parental style types. The religious environment plays a substantial role in shaping personal values, both positively and negatively, impacting adolescents' moral development, resilience, and social responsibility. However, it can also impose rigidity, social isolation, and pressure to conform to predetermined values. This multifaceted influence underscores the need for inclusivity, diversity, youth empowerment programs, interfaith dialogues, mental health support, educational programs, and open communication within religious communities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to actively engage with their adolescents in navigating religious diversity, while conflict resolution and mentor-ship programs can help resolve religious disputes and promote understanding. Regular interfaith celebrations can foster unity and appreciation for diverse religious traditions. These recommendations aim to create a more informed, inclusive, and tolerant environment for adolescents within Pentecostal churches in Ede South Local Government.
