Clima familiar, adaptacion social, género.Abstract
The purpose of the research was to determine the relationship between the family environment and the social adjustment process in adolescents. Participants were 146 high school students, 82 men (56%) and 64 women (44%), aged between 15 and 19 years (Main=17 y DE=1), 100% in nuclear families. The instruments used were the questionnaire “How is your Family” (who and paho, 1996) and the “Social Adjustment Scale-SASS” (Bobes, 1999). The results indicate that the greater cohesion in family functioning, the greater social resilience in adolescents. However, this association appears more strongly in men (r = .71, r2 = .51) than in women (r = .56, r2 = .31). The results are explained on the fundamental role that the family plays in our culture as a pillar in the overall education of children, and the gender role assigned by sex.
