Influence of Family Structure and the Formation of Youth Values and Behavior

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between family structure and the values and behavior of Junior High School learners at Impasugong National High School, Bukidnon, during the School Year 2025–2026. Emphasizing the local rural context and less-explored variables such as sibling composition, the study analyzed four family-related factors: family type, parental marital status, parental involvement, and sibling composition. A descriptive–correlational research design was employed, involving 317 randomly selected learners. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire and learners’ Values Education grades and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis.
