Title: | The impact of family intactness on family functioning, parental control, and parent-child relational qualities in a Chinese context | Authors: | Shek, DTL Xie, QZ Lin, L |
Issue Date: | 29-Jan-2015 | Source: | Frontiers in pediatrics, 29 Jan. 2015, v. 2, 149, p. 1-7 | Abstract: | The current study investigated the differences between intact and non-intact families in family processes, including systematic family functioning, parental behavioral control, parental psychological control, and parent-child relational qualities. The participants were 3,328 Secondary One students, with a mean age of 12.59 years, recruited from 28 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Four validated scales were used to assess family processes. Results showed that adolescents in non-intact families perceived relatively poorer family functioning, lower level of paternal and maternal behavioral control, lower level of paternal psychological control, and poorer parent-child relational qualities than did adolescents in intact families. This generally indicated that family processes were poorer in non-intact families, compared with those in intact families. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed. | Keywords: | Behavioral control Family functioning Family intactness Parenting process Parent-child relational qualities Psychological control |
