Family, Intimate Partners, and Adult Self-Concept
This study evaluated the ways family (in childhood and adulthood) and romantic relationships differentially affected the self-concept of those raised in traditional and non-traditional families. Analyses of survey data from the 2012 New Family Structures survey (n=2,765, a subset of the original 15,058 respondents), and interviews with eight helping professionals, revealed that romantic relationships were the most relevant for positive adult self-concept, irrespective of early family structure. These findings reinforced the Chicago school of symbolic interactionism and self-concept. However, childhood family, and to some extent romantic relationships, were more influential for the self-concept of those who grew up in traditional than in non-traditional families, specifying the âboundary limitingâ parameters of family influence. The findings also added to the literature on family structures, relationships, and well-being
Regulation of the main principles that govern the family relationships according to the stipulations in the Family Code and the new Civil Code
The paper analyses the principles that govern the family relationships from the point of view of the Family Code and of the Civil Code (in force by Law no 287/2009) needed both for the settlement of those aspects related to the family relationships in those matters where the legislation is not explicit enough or does not contain any regulation, and for the assessment of the extent to which the stipulations of the Family Code or of the Civil Code that refer to the family relationships round themselves off with the stipulations of other normative papers.family; family relationships; principles that govern the family relationships; Family Code; the new Civil Code
Families and Social Media Use: The Role of Parents' Perceptions about Social Media Impact on Family Systems in the Relationship between Family Collective Efficacy and Open Communication
Communication through social media characterizes modern lifestyles and relationships, including family interactions. The present study aims at deepening the role that parentsâ perceptions about social media eïŹects on family systems can exert within their family functioning, speciïŹcally referring to the relationship between collective family eïŹcacy and open communications within family systems with adolescents. A questionnaire to detect the openness of family communications, thecollectivefamilyeïŹcacyandtheperceptionsabouttheimpactsofsocialmediaonfamilysystems wasadministeredto227Italianparentswhohadoneormoreteenagechildren,andwhouseFacebook and WhatsApp to communicate with them. From the results, these perceptions emerge as a mediator in the relationship between the collective family eïŹcacy and the openness of communications, suggestingthatitisnotonlytheactualimpactofsocialmediaonfamilysystemsthatmattersbutalso parentsâ perceptions about it and how much they feel able to manage their and their childrenâs social media use without damaging their family relationships. Thus, the need to foster parentsâ positive perceptions about social mediaâs potential impact on their family relationships emerges. A strategy could be the promotion of knowledge on how to functionally use social media
Developing personal relationships in care homes: realising the contributions of staff, residents and family members
Personal relationships are all integral part of living, working and visiting in care homes, but little research has made relationships the main focus of enquiry, and there have been few studies of the perspectives of residents, staff and family members. The study reported here sought to redress this neglect. Using a constructivist approach, the nature and types of relationships between residents, staff and family members were explored in three care homes in England using combined methods including participant observation, interviews and focus groups. The data collection and analysis Occurred iteratively Over 21 months and three types of relationships were identified: 'pragmatic relationships' that primarily focus oil the instrumental aspects of care; 'personal and responsive relationships' that engage more fully with the particular needs of individual residents; and 'reciprocal relationships' that recognise the roles of residents, staff and family members in creating a sense of community within the home. This paper explores the contributions made by staff; residents and family members in the development of these relationships. The findings enhance our understanding of the role of inter-personal relationships in care home settings and of the factors that condition them. The implications for developing improved practice in care ponies are also considered
Family religious involvement and the quality of family relationships for early adolescents
Examination of association between the religious involvement (number of family religious activities, parental worship service attendance and parental prayer) and quality of family relationships with results indicating that religiously involved families of adolescents (ages 12-14) living in the U.S. are more like to have stronger family relationships than families that are not religiously active

Family relationships
Journal ArticleWith increased longevity, family relationships have become both more complex and more enduring. At the end of the twentieth century, four-generation and even five-generation families were not uncommon, and with longer life comes longer lifelong relationships, such as marriage. Advanced age presents many families with the challenge of caring for the very old, often at a time when adolescent children also require attention and care. The stress of caregiving can, in some cases, result in abuse of the elderly family member. Today's aging families operate in a complex society and may confront legal considerations around issues related to illness and death
Relationships between Time Management, Control, Workâfamily Conflict, and Strain
This article incorporates recent research regarding time management into a model of workâfamily conflict. The authors hypothesized that 3 types of time management behavior would have both direct and indirect (through perceived control of time) relationships, with work interfering with family and family interfering with work. It was also hypothesized that both of these types of work-family conflict would be related to the strain outcomes of job dissatisfaction and health complaints. This model was tested with a sample of 522 workers. In general, the hypothesized relationships were supported
The role of family relationships in eating disorders in adolescents: a narrative review
Abstract: Background: Adolescentsâeatingdisordershavebeenexploredthroughvariousconceptual andempiricalmodels. Onlyrecently,scientiïŹcliteratureinthisareahasmorespeciïŹcallyinvestigated theroleofrelationships,withparticularattentiontofamilyfunctioning. Objective: Thispaperreviews family relationships aspects of eating disorders in adolescence. Methods: A narrative literature review of relational issues in adolescentsâ eating disorders was performed. Results: Empirical evidence of family relationships in adolescentsâ eating disorders conïŹrms the relevance of relational aspects in the development and maintenance of the pathology. In particular, the contribution of the relational-systemic approach is wide, suggesting the need to refer to the family context for a better understanding of adolescentsâ suïŹerance. Additionally, the empirical contributions from the conceptual model of Developmental Psychopathology, highlighting the importance of risk and protection factors in family relationships, provides knowledge about the phenomenon of adolescentsâ eating disorders in terms of complexity. Conclusions: An integrated relational model aimed to explore adolescentsâ eating disorders is worthy of investigation to accomplish speciïŹc program of intervention
