The study investigated the environmental factors influencing the moral behaviour of secondary school students in Owerri Municipal Area, Imo State Nigeria. The sample was made up of 450 secondary students sampled randomly from nine (9) public secondary schools purposively selected from the area of study. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. Relevant data for testing the null hypotheses were collected through the direct delivery method administration of copies of “Influence of Environmental Factors on Moral Behaviour of Secondary School Students” questionnaire (IEFMBSSS) on the respondents. The reliability coefficient of the instrument using Pearson product moment was 0.75. Mean, SD and t-test statistics were used to analyze data. Results showed that home, school and culture are some of the environmental factors that strongly influence the moral behaviour of secondary school students. Based on the findings it was recommended that parents should provide the child with guidance in the approved patterns of behaviour, and certain aspects of culture that do not portray positive values and morals should be discarded for the good of the students and the entire society among others.
