The focus of this study was to examine the inluence of sociodemographic factors such as age, education, siblings' number, family income, and family systems on the social development and self-esteem of the adolescents of a single parent or both parents and how the absence of both parents can inluence these important aspects. It is a quantitative cross-sectional research design with the survey as a method. Adolescents from single and from both parents, male, and female (N=320), 160 from single-parent families, and 160 from two-parent families took part in the ield survey on self-esteem. Heatherton and Polivy (1991) state self-esteem scales were used to collect data. Data were veriied with SPSS version 21.0. A signiicant difference was visible in adolescents' self-esteem with both parents compared to adolescents with a single parent. A weak correlation was found between age, education, and self-esteem. For siblings' number, it was found that adolescents of intact families, were more statistically associated than adolescents with a single parent regarding the number of siblings. Outcomes conirm the approach of a strong family system to strengthen the functioning of intact families by emphasizing the joint and extended family connections that only contribute to boosting the spousal relationship, paternal and maternal grandparents, and grandchildren relationships. Clinicians and educators working with step families should promote positive, emotionally close step relationships and encourage strong marital bonds and trust in higher-order marriages.
The study sought to investigate whether the social development of the young adults (in the form of resilience) is more closely related to single parents or the upbringing of both parents and how the nonappearance of 1 of the 2 parentages can affect these imperative aspects. Young adults from sole mother or father and intact households, both 320 boys and girls, 160 young adults from broken setups, and 160 young adults from happy families were selected through a convenient sampling technique from different educational institutes. This study adopted the quantitative research design and method of the survey to gather information. The structured Resilience Scale (RS) was used to gather data. A noteworthy variance was seen in young adults ‘resilience with single and both parents. There was a significant difference found between age, and resilience and even between education and resilience. There was no important change visible in the order of birth between young adults with both parents, and single parents. The results have a major impact on clinicians and educators working with families who are concerned with nurturing positive, emotionally close-step relationships as well as maintaining sturdy matrimonial ties and beliefs among spouses in marriages.
