This correlational study investigated the link between parent-adolescent communication and the family environment. The Parent-Adolescent Communication Inventory of Bienvenu, the Family Environment Scale of Moos and Moos, and a demographic questionnaire were administered to 115 students enrolled in a senior high school located in southeast Louisiana. Positive correlations were noted between perceived communication and factors of cohesion, emotional expressiveness, independence, intellectual-cultural orientation, active-recreational orientation, moral-religious emphasis, and organization within the family. Perceived communication correlated negatively with conflict and control. There was no evidence for a correlation between family communication and achievement orientation.

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.

Differences in academic achievement have been noted in children from various ethnic backgrounds. In Australia, differences in educational attainment between Anglo-Australian and Italian students have been documented, Italian students performing more poorly. Since the influence of environmental factors on students' achievement is well supported in the literature, the present study compared the family environments of Anglo-Australians ( n = 25), Italian-Australians ( n = 29), and Southern Italians ( n = 29) via administration of the Family Environment Scale to mothers. Significant differences were found, the Anglo-Australian sample scoring higher on the Active-Recreational subscale and lower on the Organisation subscale than both Italian groups. Differences between the Anglo-Australian and Southern Italian groups showed the Anglo-Australians scoring significantly lower on the Achievement Orientation subscale and higher on the Intellectual-Cultural Orientation subscale. There were no significant differences between the Italian groups. These findings suggest preservation of Italian cultural values within Australian society, which may contribute to a restriction of learning opportunities for Italian children and possibly affect their educational achievements in later years.
