Instrument for Data CollectionThe instruments for the study were two structured questionnaires namely, Modified Parenting Styles Questionnaire (MPSQ) and Students Tendency to Bullying Questionnaire (STBQ). The MPSQ was used to assess how the students perceive the parenting used for them at home. This was a modification of the Parenting Dimensions Inventory (PDI) originally developed and used by Slater and Power (1987). The STBQ was developed by the researcher. The items of the questionnaire were structured to ascertain the students’ tendency to bullying behaviour. The MPSQ was 20 items questionnaire designed to obtain information on the4 parenting styles; each style had 5 questions. Authoritative parenting was reflected in items 1, 11, 12, 14 and 19, while Authoritarian style had items 2, 6, 10, 15 and 17. Permissive parenting style questions were 3, 7, 9, 16 and 18 while uninvolving parenting style questions were items 4, 5, 8, 13 and 20. The students were requested to respond to questions based on the parenting they receive at home. The STBQ also had 20 items which seek to ascertain the students’ tendency to bullying behaviour (based on the following levels: low tendency, moderate tendency, high tendency and very high tendency). Both MPSQ and STBQ had 4 point response options which range from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree with weighted values of 4, 3, 2, and 1 respectively.
