RESUMEN SIMPOSIO INVITADO
Family
functioning and adolescent
adjustment
It is well known that
psychological maladjustment in
adolescence is associated with the
development of clinical problems in
adulthood. In this symposium we
address the adolescents’ perceptions
of the quality of the relationships
with their father and mother, and also
with their family as a whole, and the
cross-sectional and prospective
associations of these perceptions with
adolescents’ psychological adjustment
(i.e. self-esteem, life satisfaction
and depressive symptoms). We also
explore the expectations of the
adolescents about the potential
adaptation of children growing up in
various modalities of families
opposite to traditional nuclear ones.
Finally, we establish a typological
classification of the adolescents
concerning their personal well-being,
their family sociodemographic
characteristics and the quality of
parent-adolescent relationships.
Knowledge of the risk factors leading
to maladjustment in adolescence may be
useful for improving specific
intervention programs to prevent the
onset of adjustment problems and to
diminish their impact over the course
of development.
