Description
Summary:The study examined the role of family functioning and self-help coping strategy and its effect on self-identity. Students from De La Salle University of Manila were asked to participate. Questionnaires regarding family functioning, self-help coping strategy and self-identity were handed out and ANOVA was then used to acknowledge its findings. Family functioning was significantly related to three subscales under self-identity among 9 others. And also, its effect on self-help coping strategy. Meaning, college students who have perceived a democratic family functioning will have a higher application of self help cope, resulting in a favorable self-concept. Otherwise, those who are recognized to have acquired an authoritarian style of family functioning will respond the opposite. Researchers conclude that family functioning does play a significant role on self-identity however on specific categories. This may affect a students self-concept, resulting to either a positive or a negative outlook.
