| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between peer pressure,
substance abuse and stress among adolescents. The study employed a quantitative correlational
study design. A sample of 205 adolescent students both male and female, aged 11-18 years was
selected. A self- administered questionnaire was used to collect data and was analysed using
statistical package for social scientists (SPSS, version 21). Pearson Correlation Co-efficient(r)
was used to test the significance of the hypotheses. Results showed that there is a significant
relationship between peer pressure and substance abuse as well as peer pressure and stress.
However, results indicated that there is no significant relationship between substance abuse and
stress. | en_US |
