Description

Jackson, Sifers, Warren, and Velasquez (2003) found, contrary to much past research, supportive family environment was a risk factor for children exposed to familial stress (e.g. marital divorce, death in the family, financial problems, and more) This study replicated Jackson and colleagues study, examining the relationship between family stress and family support for children. 100 children from public schools and their parents from a Midwestern town were participants in this study. Measures used for this study include the Life Events Checklist, Family Environment Scale and Behavioral Assessment for Children, second edition. These measures were used to run correlation and regression which was predicted to find, an interaction between family support and family stress. The results of this study signify that as personal growth increases for the child, adaptive behaviors may increase as well.
