Abstract
The world at large is experiencing reformation as a result of the advent of modern technology; this has brought about beneficial things to the whole universe. More so, the major area that has influence on human behaviour is the advent of the Internet, which is widespread all over the world. The Internet is easy to use, with no barrier of time, space and distance. This has allowed many people to have easy access to information. Due to this, it serves as a source of many benefits. However, always there is other side to the coin. As a result of the easy access to the Internet and the varieties of programs designed on it, most adolescents are engrossed in the cyber world. Therefore, the quest of this study is to find out whether cyber exploration as well as hanging-out is determinants for parental disobedience. This research is a quantitative study, by which exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was designed to test the internal consistency of the items, whereas multiple regression was used to determine whether cyber exploration as well as hang-outs are determinants for adolescents’ parental disobedience. The samples of the study were 211 adolescents from the International Islamic University Malaysia. From the study, we found that some of the major predictors of adolescent disobedience to their parents are hanging- out and cyber perception. This study has implications for societal practices, especially in assessing parents’ causal judgments of their ability to successfully train their adolescent, in the face of modern technology. Thereby, improving the moral standards of the adolescents and enhancing parent-child relationship.
