VILLARREAL-ZEGARRA, David  y  PAZ-JESUS, Angel. Family Cohesion, Adaptability and Composition in Adolescents from Callao, Peru. Propós. represent. [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.2, pp.21-64. ISSN 2307-7999.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20511/pyr2017.v5n2.158.

The objective of the study was to analyze if there are significant differences between family cohesion and adaptability according to the type of family campo sitian (nuclear, extended, single parent and non-nuclear). This is a non-experimental and empirical research, in which a non-probabilistic, cross-sectional, selective and associative strategy was employed; 428 male and female teenagers, aged 14 to 18, from a public school in Callao were evaluated. The D. Olson's family cohesion and adaptability evaluation scale (FACES III) and an ad hoc questionnaire were used to evaluate family campo sitian. The results show significant differences between adolescents belonging to nuclear families and adolescents belonging to non-nuclear families. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
