The research is directed on the investigation of teenager’s family identity. In the pre- vious articles we have described the phenomena of family identity and its research methods. The aim of this article is an account of the empirical results of the research of family identity of teenagers with different structural and functional family charac- teristics. According to one of the research hypothesis, there is a correlation between the structural and functional family characteristics and teenager’s family identity, i.e. his experience of belonging to the family system. Moreover comparing to such factors of family identity as a family type (two-parent, one-parent, binuclear, foster), teenager’s sex and age, the factor of teenager’s growing up in the family with definite structural and functional characteristics is the most important one. There are the results of the research of 290 different-age teenagers with a help of Scale FACES-3 and the author’s inquirer of Family Identity and its analysis in this article.

The Family

The pressure of family identity and politics affected more than one generation of Burneys. Beyond Frances Burney, and her intense relationship with her father Charles Burney, were other family members who also felt the pressure to “write & read & be literary.” These tendencies can be seen most clearly in the works of juvenilia preserved in the family archive. A commonplace book bound in vellum has been discovered that preserves more than one hundred poems, mostly original compositions written by family and friends. The activity of commonplacing reflects a community in which reading and writing are valued. Collected by the youngest sister of Frances Burney, they seem to have been copied after she married. The juvenile writings of her nieces and nephews preponderate, whose talents were encouraged, as they give versified expression to their deepest feelings and fears. Literary influences of the Romantic poets can be traced, as the young authors define themselves in relation to these materials. Reflecting a kind of self-fashioning, the commonplace book helps these young writers explore their sense of family identity through literary form. This compilation represents a collective expression of authorship which can inform us about reading and writing practices of women and their families in the eighteenth century.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this study was to understand how the family system plays a role in knowledge sharing (KS) within family firms. The authors argue that the family’s influence can occur through two routes. An external route in which the family affects the culture of the organization and through an internal route in which family leadership within the firm affects the practices and behaviors within the business. Design/methodology/approach Data for this project came from the survey responses of 93 Spanish family firms. Findings The findings expand previous understanding about KS in family firms by outlining the two routes through which the family can have positive effect on KS within family firms. Results show that family system characteristics (i.e. next-generation commitment, family trust and intergenerational relationships) affect KS through their impact on the participative culture of a family firm. Additionally, when a family has been in control of the business for more generations, they place higher importance on family legacy and continuity, which is likely to strengthen the relationship between participative culture and KS in family firms. Originality/value Given the important role that the family system plays within the family business, this paper explored how family characteristics can influence KS in family firms. The authors contribute to the literature by highlighting the importance that the owning family can have in creating an environment that can facilitate KS in family firms.

The article examines the system of relations to parents (to father and mother) in children suffering from gastroenterological and rheumatoid diseases. The study of domestic authors on this issue is carried out in the framework of identifying the child’s attitude to the disease and the influence of parental attitude on the occurrence and course of the disease. Through the prism of the child’s attitude to parents, his perception of the family system of relations, the specificity of interaction in the triad “mother–child–father” is determined. The study involved 350 children aged 10–12 years, including 180 schoolchildren with gastroenterological diseases and 170 children with rheumatoid diseases. Research methods are conversation and questioning. Parents of children with gastroenterological diseases often conflict and transfer the conflict to the plane of relations with the child, involving him in a scandal. Mothers of children with rheumatoid diseases protect them from a strict father through tears and tantrums, which makes the child feel sorry for the mother and a great dislike for the father. Lack of attention and care, mainly of mothers, children with gastroenterological and rheumatoid diseases compensate through their illness.

Behavior Strategies

Family conflicts contribute to the reassessment of the system of values, the transformation of social relations and interpersonal relations, the development of the family system, are a source of change for each of its participants. The leading role in the construction of the family system and good relations in it belongs to the marital subsystem, which determines the development of relations in other family subsystems. The propensity of each spouse to conflict behavior, as well as the choice of appropriate behavioral strategies determines the success of resolving family conflicts. Objective. The research is related to the analysis of the essence of the "family conflict" concept and the characteristics of behavioral strategies in conflict; experimental definition and analysis of the main behavior strategies of spouses in resolving family conflicts. Methods. To solve the research problem we used such theoretical research methods as: analysis of scientific psychological literature, generalization, systematization of scientific information; the following empirical research methods were used: conversation, observation, psychodiagnostic method "Diagnosis of a person's propensity to conflict behavior" by K. Thomas adapted by N. V. Hryshyna; processing and quantitative and qualitative interpretation of results. The study involved 16 married couples (husband and wife) with different marital experiences in the number of 32 people aged 26 to 48 years (Kyiv). All the couples have children aged 2 to 21 years. The results of the empirical study of the peculiarities of the behavior strategies choice for spouses in resolving family conflicts showed that the predominant strategies are: "Compromise", which was found in 28.12 % of the total number of respondents and 37.5 % of women in particular; "Rivalry", which was found in 25 % of the total number of respondents and 31.25 % of men in particular; respondents are the least likely to choose the "Avoidance" strategy – 9.38 % of the total number of respondents, 6.25 % of women and 12.5 % of men. We see the prospects for further development in the study of family values and role attitudes of a married couple and their relationship with the effective resolution of conflicts in the family.

Objective We aimed to investigate the symptoms of inpatients with bipolar disorder (BD) in different types of families, and to explore the correlations between family coherence, family adaptability, and family functioning among inpatients with BD. Methods Inpatients with BD in Hebei, China (n = 61; mean age = 33.85±10.54; 39 males) participated in this study. Participants’ symptoms were evaluated using the Bech–Rafaelsen Mania Scale (BRMS) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) at weeks 1, 4, and 8 after their admission to the hospital. Participants’ family type was assessed using the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale II–Chinese Version. Family functioning was assessed using Family Assessment Device. Results Participants were classified into three family types: balanced (n = 13), mid-range (n = 28), and extreme (n = 20). BRMS scores improved over time in patients from all three family types. Improvement was slightly better with the balanced than the extreme family type. HDRS scores showed an improving trend over time, although this was not significant. Family coherence, adaptability, and functioning were mutually correlated. Conclusion The family system and family functioning are important factors that clinicians should keep in mind when treating people with BD.

Family Functionality

The goal of the research presented in this paper was to study the relations between students' estimation of the real and desired state of family functionality and attendance of religious instruction in school. The results obtained on the sample of 421 secondary school students of the third grade, who opted for attending religious instruction at the beginning of this level of schooling (263 students) or for attending the alternative elective subject - civic education (158 students). For assessing relevant dimensions of the real and desired state of family system functionality, the standardized instruments were used - FACES III (cohesion and flexibility of the family) and F-COPES (strategies of family's overcoming of problems). For collecting data on sociodemographic characteristics of respondents and their families, as well as the assessment of effects of attending religious instruction on the family, we used the Student Questionnaire, constructed for the purposes of this research. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, we reached the conclusion that in certain aspects there are differences in students' assessment of the real and desired state of family functionality, depending on the elective subject they attend, as well as that it can be stated with great probability that some of the measured family characteristics are significantly correlated with the effects of religious instruction on students and their family as a whole.

The Family

The family is one of the basic social institutions of human society. The behaviour of individuals is to a great extent moulded by influences within the family not only during the socialization process at early ages, but also after they have reached maturity. The way in which the family system operates has important demographic consequences. Reproduction takes place within the family, and fertility is affected by the combination of events occurring within and shaped by the prevailing family system in a society. The family is an important decision-making unit, and in societies where the extended family system1 is prevalent, decisions by couples regarding fertility behaviour may be strongly influenced by the larger family network. Hill [11, p. 271-72] has identified some crucial decisions made over the reproductive career of a couple. He suggests that these decisions are largely influenced by the parents and other relatives concerning (a) when to marry, (b) how soon to have first child, (c) whether to use birth control and method to be used, (d) when to have second and later children, and (e) when to stop child bearing. Davis and Blake [4] point out certain intermediate variables which an individual learns during the sociali¬zation process, e.g., acceptability of universal marriage, permissibility of sexual abstinence, the long absence of either spouse and the frequency and timing of sexual intercourse, etc. All of these have direct bearing on fertility in the long run.

System Characteristics

This study explores the effects of family system characteristics on the children’s families when they grow up and become parents themselves. Family systems have profound effects for individual family members. The study addresses the question of whether or not these effects continue into the next generation by influencing the families created by adult children. Also evaluated is the extent to which parental intentions to make specific changes can be successful. Families in two generations participated in home interviews during the midlife/adolescent family life cycle stage. During home interviews at both waves, family members completed a questionnaire describing their family. They then discussed differences of opinion about the family and jointly created a projective “picture” of their family. Both family members’ reports and coded measures from the family interaction process supported a continuity between family of origin (FoO) characteristics and the next generation’s families. Evidence was also found for the ability of both mothers and fathers to purposely change particular family characteristics, such as connection, individuation, or conflict, in their second generation families. These results support the usefulness of exploring connections between FoOs and families of procreation. They also suggest that helping parents focus on particular characteristics they wish to change from their FoOs may enhance their success in making those changes.
