“…The development of self-concept is affected by the family. Good family functions and interactions are linked to more positive self-concept [41,42]. When IPV often occurs in the family, the family is difficult to function normally, the interactions in family tend to have problems, and the CSE of adolescents will be lower.…”

This study aimed to investigate the link between the exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), core self-evaluations (CSE), and psychological adaptation of Chinese adolescents, through analysis of the results from the Survey of Children's Exposure to Domestic Violence Scale, Core Self-Evaluations Scale, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, involving a total of 597 Chinese middle school students. It is indicated that the exposure to IPV is positively correlated with lower levels of psychological adaptation and CSE, and CSE is positively correlated with higher levels of psychological adaptation. Mediation analysis revealed that CSE partially mediated the association between the exposure to IPV and psychological adaptation. These results suggest that educators and parents should help adolescents tackle their emotional and behavioral problems by reducing the risk of IPV exposure and increasing their CSE.

“…The findings thus show that open communication with parents protects children from experiencing school adjustment problems, low selfesteem and depression. A study was conducted by Emam and Abu-Serei (2014) to investigate whether family functioning can predict the self-concept and selfesteem of LDs students in Oman regardless of parent education level and gender status. Results showed that family functioning was a strong contributory factor of selfconcept for both children with and without LDs, although the two groups differed in terms of the significant family functioning predictors.…”

Learning disabilities (LDs) encompass a very extensive range of academic problems which can give rise to social and psychological problems. Apart from experiencing academic problems, pupils with LDs experience strong feelings of frustrations, sadness and shame as a result of repeated failure and this can lead to psychological difficulties. These psychological problems are experienced at home and at school and if not addressed, they add to the burden of the condition and could find their way into adulthood. The study was guided by the following objectives: to determine the influence of parent child relationships on pupils' psychological adjustment and to examine the influence of teacher pupil relationships on psychological adjustment of pupils with LDs. Mixed methods research design was used. Saturated and purposive sampling techniques were used to select participants. The sample size was 116 which comprised of 96 pupils, 10 parents and 10 special education teachers. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used as data collection instruments. Parent child relationships were found to be positively correlated with psychological adjustment with a Pearson's R-value of 00.375** with parents explaining 14.1% of the relationship. Teacher pupil relationships were found to have influence on psychological adjustment of pupils with LDs with a Pearson's R-value of 0.571** with teachers explaining 32.6 % of the relationship.

“…Logo, o efeito das relações familiares é muito importante, uma vez que uma boa relação dentro da própria família, isto é, uma comunicação adequada entre os membros, tais como pais e irmãos, leva a menos conflitos. Nestas famílias, os seus membros encontram formas de resolução dos problemas e torna-se fundamental para que cada membro se sinta valorizado (Emam & Abu-Serei, 2014).…”

A satisfação com o suporte social torna-se essencial para o desenvolvimento dos adolescentes, uma vez que contribui para o bem-estar destes. Esta investigação pretende explorar a satisfação com o suporte social e o funcionamento familiar em adolescentes, com e sem irmãos. A amostra foi constituída por 365 participantes, 213 do sexo feminino e 152 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 20 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social (ESSS) e a Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15). Foram realizadas correlações de Pearson e verificou-se uma associação negativa entre o suporte social e o funcionamento familiar, isto é, à medida que o suporte social aumenta, as dificuldades familiares diminuem. Efetuaram-se análises de variância multivariada (MANOVA), com vista a analisar as diferenças em relação às variáveis sociodemográficas. Os resultados indicaram que, em função da configuração familiar, verificou-se que adolescentes de famílias com pais casados ou em união de facto apresentam maiores níveis de satisfação com a família comparativamente aos adolescentes com os pais divorciados. No funcionamento familiar verificou-se que os adolescentes com pais divorciados apresentam maiores dificuldades de recursos familiares, de comunicação na família e de dificuldades familiares. Em relação ao sexo, não se verificaram diferenças significativas. Finalmente, não se encontraram diferenças entre adolescentes filhos únicos e os que têm irmãos, relativamente à satisfação com o suporte social, bem como no funcionamento familiar. Assim, sublinha-se a importância de um bom funcionamento familiar, no sentido de contribuir para a qualidade das relações dos adolescentes.
