Οικογενειακή κατάσταση και αυτοαντίληψη των εφήβων

Περίληψη

The present study investigated the relationship between the self-concept of Greek adolescents and their parents' marital status (married vs. divorced). 332 adolescents (166 adolescents from intact and 166 from divorced families) 15-16 years old, students in the first grade of the Lyceum, completed a) Hurter’s Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents, b) a questionnaire about their parents' relationship and their own relationship with each one of their parents, and finally c) a questionnaire about demographics. The results suggest that parental divorce is associated with adolescents' self-concept. Adolescents from intact families had higher scores in Behavioral Conduct compared to the adolescents from divorced families. Furthermore, it was found that the boys from intact families had higher scores in Scholastic Competence and Close Friendship compared to the boys from divorced families. It was also found that in adolescents from divorced families some dimensions of self-concept such as Behavioral Conduct and Global Self-Worth are correlated positively with the adolescents' relationships with their stepfather.
