2373

Abstract

The research is directed on the investigation of teenager’s family identity. In the pre- vious articles we have described the phenomena of family identity and its research methods. The aim of this article is an account of the empirical results of the research of family identity of teenagers with different structural and functional family charac- teristics. According to one of the research hypothesis, there is a correlation between the structural and functional family characteristics and teenager’s family identity, i.e. his experience of belonging to the family system. Moreover comparing to such factors of family identity as a family type (two-parent, one-parent, binuclear, foster), teenager’s sex and age, the factor of teenager’s growing up in the family with definite structural and functional characteristics is the most important one. There are the results of the research of 290 different-age teenagers with a help of Scale FACES-3 and the author’s inquirer of Family Identity and its analysis in this article.
