| Summary: | This is a descriptive study of the family system of the black sheep child. The parent-child relationship, child-rearing attitudes, parents' relationship and relationship with siblings were investigated. The study characterizes the black sheep and investigates what ordinal position is common among black sheep. To gather data, the case study approach was used. In-depth interviews were conducted to parents, siblings and the black sheep. The study has nine (9) subjects, five (5) are males and four (4) are females. The results of the study revealed that most black sheep come from families with restrictive, authoritative and overprotective parents. Black sheep have defective relationships with both parents and siblings. Six (6) characteristics were common to black sheep such as having inferiority feelings, sensitive, risk-taking or adventurous, aggressive when somebody insults her/him, insecure, and feels happy when people express their love or care for him/her. There was no common ordinal position for the black sheep studied. |
