CONNECTION OF FAMILY ORIENTATION AND STRUCTURE WITH INTERNALIZED AND EXTERNALIZED PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENT BEHAVIOR

Summary/Abstract: In recent decades, there has been an increasing number of behavioural problems in children and adolescents. The aim of the study is to identify differences in family orientation and family structure between adolescents with externalized and internalized problems, and typically developed adolescents. The sample consists of 587 adolescents of both sexes. The research was carried out in fifteen elementary schools in the City of Tuzla by including two classes, one seventh and one eighth grade from each school. The sample is intentional (only the seventh and eighth grades), and within it, the classes are selected by the case method. The survey used two measurement instruments: Youth Self-Report - YRS (Achenbach, 2007) and Family Environment Scale, Version for Adolescents (Family Environment Scale - FES, Moos, Moos, 2009). The results of the study indicate that there is a significant difference between adolescents living with both parents and those from incomplete families. Statistically significant differences were observed on the Aggressive Behaviour scales (t = - 2.23; p<.01). Rule-breaking behaviours (t = -3.22; p<0,00), and the Externalization dimension (t = - 2.82; p <0.00). There is also a statistical difference in family orientation. Bringing together the family structure of the family with internalized problems, it was observed that there were no statistically significant differences.
