Summary:Personal experience on the increasing cases of same-sex sexual behaviour among secondary school adolescents especially in South Eastern Nigeria has necessitated the present study. The study investigated how separation (divorce), authoritative permissive and authoritarian parenting styles could be predictors of tendency to same-sex sexual behaviour of students in South Eastern Nigeria. The design adopted was a correlational survey design with a sample of 1,200 secondary school students drawn from 12 schools in the South Eastern part of Nigeria made up of 5 states: Imo, Abia, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi. Multi stage sampling technique was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was a self- developed "Sexuality, Peer, and Home Factor Questionnaire (SPHFQ)". The instrument was validated using three experts in the field of Guidance and Counselling and Measurement and Evaluation. The ANOVA showed that separation (divorce) is a predictor of tendency to same-sex sexual behaviour, polygamy is a predictor of tendency to same-sex sexual behaviour, permissive and authoritarian are predictors of tendency to same-sex sexual behaviour.
