“…In particular, family satisfaction correlated positively with both the affective component (i.e., positive affect and positive emotions) and the cognitive component (i.e., life satisfaction) of happiness [ 36 , 37 , 71 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 ]. Furthermore, family life satisfaction was positively associated with children’s positive affect [ 148 , 151 , 152 , 153 ] and happiness [ 38 , 126 ], from the perspectives of both children [ 1 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 ] and parents [ 27 , 73 , 168 , 169 ]. However, one study reported a non-significant positive correlation between happiness and family satisfaction [ 38 ].…”

Background: the present research represents the first systematic review of the literature on the relation between happiness (i.e., subjective well-being, life satisfaction, positive affect) and family functioning in families with children aged 6–18 years. Method: relevant articles were systematically searched in three scientific databases (i.e., PsycInfo, Pubmed, and Web of Science) in June 2022. The databases were searched for original articles published after 1968 with the keywords “happiness” and “family functioning.” Results: of the 2683 records recovered, 124 original articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The articles were divided according to four emergent themes: (1) family dimensions and happiness; (2) global family functioning (i.e., family functioning, and family relationships), environmental variables, and happiness; (3) parental differences; (4) longitudinal studies. Conclusions: the results of the review provide evidence for a positive relation between happiness and family functioning, across different cultures and age groups: Family dimensions (e.g., cohesion, communication) were found to strongly predict children’s and adolescents’ happiness. Future studies should investigate the differences between fathers and mothers using multi-informant and mixed methods procedures and a longitudinal research approach. The implications of the findings for children’s positive development are discussed.

“…Latent pro le analysis (LPA) is a person-centered approach that determines heterogeneity pro les of dyadic QoL, categorizing them as diverging subgroups that are internally homogeneous [30] based on the patterns of means on observed variables (i.e., the eight dimensions of QoL in this study). The optimal number of pro les was evaluated using model-t indices, such as the Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), sample-size-adjusted BIC (aBIC), entropy, the Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test (LMR), and the bootstrapped likelihood ratio test (BLRT).…”

Purpose This study aimed to identify the heterogeneity of dyadic quality of life (QoL) profiles, determine whether these profiles differ in terms of demographic and medical factors, neuroticism, resilience, and family functioning, and explore the combined effect of patient and caregiver neuroticism, resilience, and family functioning on dyadic QoL profiles. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 304 advanced lung cancer patient-caregiver dyads enrolled from radiotherapy and chemotherapy departments at three tertiary hospitals. Self-report questionnaires were administered to patient-caregiver dyads to assess demographic and medical characteristics, neuroticism, resilience, family functioning and QoL. Results The latent profile analysis identified four subgroups of dyadic QoL: patient low-caregiver high profile (38.82%), patient high-caregiver high profile (22.37%), patient high-caregiver low profile (19.74%), and patient low-caregiver low profile (19.08%). Additionally, when both patients and their caregivers had a high level of neuroticism or low level of resilience, and low family functioning, compared with only member having them, there was a higher risk of poorer dyadic QoL. Conclusions Our study identified the four heterogeneities of dyadic QoL profiles among advanced lung cancer patient-caregiver dyads. Future dyadic interventions should consider the heterogeneity of dyadic QoL in this population and prioritize patient-caregiver dyads who are at risk of poor dyadic QoL. Furthermore, when high neuroticism, low resilience, or family functioning coexist between patients and their caregivers, both parties exhibit much lower dyadic QoL.

“…The first step was to group families based on the mothers’, fathers’, and adolescents’ SWFaL scores. A similar approach using the same measure for dyadic or triadic data (i.e., couples, family members) has proven appropriate to identify couple or family profiles (Schnettler et al, 2021; Vieira et al, 2018). Family satisfaction profiles for mother–father–adolescent triads were estimated by a latent profile (LP) analysis for continuous variables (Vermunt & Magidson, 2002), using Latent Gold 5.1 statistics software (Statistical Innovations Inc.).…”

“…After the three family members were grouped into profiles based on their SWFaL scores, these profiles were compared by the statistical differences found in the variables concurrent with these scores. These comparisons were conducted following previous studies using dyadic and triadic data from couples and families (Schnettler, Grunert, Orellana, et al, 2021; Vieira et al, 2018), and other latent profile analysis studies in family subgroups (Borden et al, 2014; Withers, 2020). Pearson's chi‐squared test was used for discrete variables such as some sociodemographic characteristics.…”

“…In both adult and adolescent populations, researchers have found that satisfaction in the family domain is a stronger contributor to overall life satisfaction than other life domains (Moss & Willoughby, 2018; Schnettler et al, 2018, Schnettler, Miranda‐Zapata, Orellana, et al, 2020; Viñas‐Bardolet et al, 2019). Life satisfaction, the cognitive component of subjective well‐being, is also found to different degrees in individuals in the same family and between families (Schnettler, Grunert, Orellana, et al, 2021). That is, members of the same family can show either similar patterns (i.e., homogeneity, Dobewall et al, 2019) or diverging patterns (i.e., heterogeneity, Augustijn, 2020) of life satisfaction.…”

Research has stressed the importance of the family domain for the individual's well‐being, but the heterogeneity/homogeneity of satisfaction with family life between and within families have not previously assessed. This study identifies family profiles based on the level of family life satisfaction in mother–father–adolescent triads and determines whether profiles differ in terms of the three family members’ perceived family support, importance assigned to the family, both parents’ work–life balance and mental health, and the household's economic situation. The sample was composed of 303 families of different‐sex dual‐earner parents with one child aged between 10 and 17 years, from Temuco, Chile. A Latent Profile Analysis was used to identify three profiles: Families with low family satisfaction (17.80%), Families with medium family satisfaction (68.14%), and Families with high family satisfaction (14.06%). Profiles also differed in the three family members’ perceived family support and importance assigned to the family, both parents’ work–life balance and mental health, and in the household's income. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents in these profiles also differed from one another in these variables. The main variable related to the family members’ satisfaction with family life was the parents’ mental health problems. Family life satisfaction in dual‐earner couples with adolescent children is heterogenous, and these profiles draw attention to indicators of parent–child well‐being. Families with lower levels of family satisfaction require particular attention in research and interventions, as these families may report a lower household income, and the parents may experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, and diverging levels of work–life balance.
