Abstract
VERDUGO LUCERO, Julio César et al. Influence of family environment in the adolescent's social adaptation process. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.2, pp.207-222. ISSN 0123-417X.
The purpose of the research was to determine the relationship between the family environment and the social adjustment process in adolescents. Participants were 146 high school students, 82 men (56%) and 64 women (44%), aged between 15 and 19 years (Mam=17 y DE=1), 100% in nuclear families. The instruments used were the questionnaire "How is your Family" (who and paho, 1996) and the "Social Adjustment Scale-SASS" (Bobes, 1999). The results indícate that the greater cohesion in family functioning, the greater social resilience in adolescents. However, this association appears more strongly in men (r = .71, r2 = .51) than in women (r = .56, r2 = .31). The results are explained on the fundamental role that the family plays in our culture as a pillar in the overall education of children, and the gender role assigned by sex.
