| dc.description.abstract | The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between parental conflict and social adjustment among students at Minilik II Secondary School. The study included 355 students (147 males, 208 females) in grades 9-12. Researchers utilized the Children's Perception of Inter-parental Conflict Scale (CPIC) and the Social Adjustment Scale, translating and pilot-testing the instruments, which demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.918). Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses revealed that students perceived low levels of parental conflict properties, with moderate levels of conflict threat and low self-blame. Social adjustment among students was found to be at a moderate level. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between parental conflict and social adjustment (r = 0.699, p < .001). Regression analysis indicated that conflict property and threat significantly predicted social adjustment, while self-blame and living situation did not. Gender differences emerged in social adjustment, with female students demonstrating higher adjustment levels compared to male students. However, no statistically significant differences in parental conflict were found based on gender or age. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn from the findings.
