The study employed quantitative research design of cross-sectional survey. Data were collected from 179 adolescents from single parents and another 130 adolescents from intact parents (for comparative purpose) aged 14 to 20 years. A modified version of Ryff’s psychological wellbeing scale was used to gather data from study participants. Data analysis included percentage, independent t-test and one way ANOVA. The independent t-test revealed that adolescents from single parents had a significantly lower psychological wellbeing compared to intact parent adolescents. Furthermore, adolescents living with single father parents had a significantly lower psychological wellbeing than adolescents living with single mothers. The independent t-test result also revealed that single parent adolescents who were females, aged 14-16 years, in grades 9-10 and with medium to high perceived family economic status had higher psychological wellbeing than single parent adolescents who were males, aged 17-20 years, in grade 11-12 and with low perceived family economic status . Results from one way ANOVA also showed that there was a significant difference in psychological wellbeing among single parent adolescents of different family sizes. Significant difference in psychological wellbeing observed between adolescents from 2-3 family sizes and ≥6. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that single parent family structure can be among the risk factors for the psychological wellbeing of adolescents.
