Family Integration

La familia, como sistema social, es el conjunto de interacciones dinámicas que facilitan el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas sociales en los subsistemas del grupo familiar. El clima social familiar se caracteriza por las relaciones que se establecen entre los subsistemas familiares, involucra aspectos de comunicación social, emocional, interacción y crecimiento personal, fundamentado en la vida en común. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la influencia del clima familiar en la conducta violenta en 1502 escolares de 8 a 15 años. El 51% fueron mujeres y 49% hombres. Se utilizó la Escala de Clima familiar de Family environment scale (FES) de Moos  y Moos y la Escala de Conducta Violenta en la Escuela de Little et al. Se correlacionó el grado de apoyo, expresión social y el grado de interacción conflictiva. Los resultados evidenciaron el 38% de falta de integración familiar, que influyó en el 70% de conducta violenta de los escolares. Se concluye que del grado de integración social familiar dependen las conductas violentas en 70%, caracterizado por conducta violenta manifiesta pura del 70% y conducta violenta relacional pura del 69% en la dinámica relacional del sistema escolar. AbstractThe family as a social system is the set of dynamic interactions that facilitate the development of social cognitive skills in the subsystems of the family group. The family social climate is characterized by the relationships established between family subsystems, involves aspects of social communication, emotional, interaction and personal growth based on common life. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of family climate on violent behavior in 1502 schoolchildren from 8 to 15 years old. 51% were women and 49% men. The Family Environment Scale (FES) of Moos and Moos and the Scale of Violent Behavior in the School of Little et al. were used. The degree of support, social expression and the degree of conflictive interaction were correlated. The results showed a 38% lack of family integration, which influenced 70% violent behavior of school children. It is concluded that violent behaviors depend 70% on the degree of social family integration, characterized by pure manifest violent behavior of 70% and pure relational violent conduct of 69% in the relational dynamics of the school system.

Academic achievement is often considered as a key criterion to judge one's total potentialities and capabilities. Academic achievement has become a prime interest for the teachers, educationists, psychologists and parents to predict children's academic success which is considered to be an outcome of the learning environment and the family. The present study aimed at seeking the level of academic achievement of female students at the college level with respect to their family environment and locale. Random Sampling Technique was applied to draw the sample of 200 female students studying in the five-degree colleges of Jammu City (J&K) in the year 2015. Family Environment Scale (FES-BC) by Bhatia and Chadha (2012) was used for data collection. This tool has eight dimensions-Cohesion, Expressiveness, Conflict, Acceptance and Caring, Independence, Active-Recreational Orientation, Organisation and Control. The findings revealed that most of the female students were having an average level of academic achievement. Very few female students were found to have a high level of academic achievement. No significant differences in the level of academic achievement were found among female students in relation to their residential background, whereas significant differences were found in the family environment of female students with respect to the locality at the sub-scale “Acceptance and Caring” and “Active Recreational Orientation”. The value of the coefficient of correlation was found to be low, positive but significant at the 0.01 level of significance at the sub-scale “Cohesion” of Family Environment Scale. It shows that academic achievement and cohesion in the family are positively related with each other, however, the correlation is low.

IntroductionThe participation of informal caregivers in the café of patients with psychotic symptoms in coordination with self-help groups have been found to reduce the expressed emotion in combination with psychoeducations interventions help create a supportive environment.ObjectivesThis study investigates the differences in the family atmosphere of informal caregivers of patients with psychotic symptoms.AimsTo compare whether or not the participation of informal caregivers of patients with psychotic symptoms in self-organized associations helps to foster a supportive family environment, hence reducing the risk of relapse.MethodsSnowballing sampling consisting of 510 informal caregivers of patients with psychotic symptoms was used in the current study. The Family Environment Scale of Moos and Moos and socio-demographic questions were implemented to collect the data. Control Cronbach's Alpha reliability of scale gave value a = 0.795.ResultsThe comparison showed that informal caregivers of patients with psychotic symptoms irrespective of their participation or not in self-help associations do not show significant differences in Family Environment Scale. Significant statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05) only occurred in the subcategory “organization”, as the first group (m = 4.68, df = ± 2.233) were found to have lower values compared to the other group (m = 5.21, df = ± 2.233).DiscussionsThe study demonstrated that informal caregivers of patients with psychotic symptoms involved in self-help groups do not show to have a particular difference in the family atmosphere than families who do not participate in self-help associations.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionRoma attribute a great value at the family life. For them the family is the basic axis around which their community structures and their personal relationships are developed.AimThe present study aimed to evaluate the family relationships, the personal growth and the family system maintenance in male and female Roma.Materials and methods145 individuals (105 male and 89 female), residents of the general area of Greece, participated in the present study. The measures used were: a) The Family Environment Scale (Form R-FES) and b) A questionnaire concerning socio-demographic information.ResultsThe mean age of men was 35.31 ± 11.21 years old, while the mean age of women was 32.43 ± 11.70 years old. According to the findings, the men scored higher in certain factors which were studied. In particular, they reported significantly greater Achievement Orientation (P=.000), Moral-Religious Emphasis (P = .000), Family Control (P = .000), Family Organization (P=.016) and Family Incongruence Score (P=.011).ConclusionsMale Roma hold a special place in the Roma family, whereas the female's Roma place in the society of Roma in Greece is underestimated. Based on the measures used in the present study, the male Roma are characterised by greater ethics, religiousness, tendency to achieve their goals and generally to do things. Also, the male Roma seem to have a greater control over the family, in comparison to the female Roma.
