Abstract: The study investigated the effects of empty-nest syndrome on the aged’s adjustment pattern. Three hypotheses were postulated and tested as follows: There will be no statistically significant effect of empty-nest syndrome on aged’s adjustment pattern there will be no statistically significant effect of empty-nest syndrome on the aged’s adjustment pattern across gender and there will be no statistically significant effect of empty-nest syndrome on aged’s adjustment pattern across families. The research study involved a total of ninety one participants (45 males and 46 females) who volunteered themselves for the study. They included aged from various ministries and Imo state secretariat and Central Bank of Nigeria, Owerri. Their ages ranged from 45-87 years of age with a mean age of 66 years. Data for the research were collected using a 5 point Likert scale divided into three sections. The first is a scale which dwelt more on the personal data of the respondents and their eligibility for the research. The second one is the empty-nest syndrome scale consisting of sixteen items. The third is an adjustment pattern scale which consisted of thirteen items. Survey design was employed and the data collected were analyzed using a three-way ANOVA. The first hypothesis was rejected based on the findings that the calculated value of 137.71 is greater than the critical values of 3.96. The other two hypotheses were accepted based on the findings that the calculated values of 1.32 and 0.01 were lower than the critical value of 3.96. Significance of the study, implications and recommendations of this study were made.
