Percepción del grado de conflicto en familias adoptivas y no adoptivas

Abstract

Conflict rate perceptions in adoptive and non-adoptive families. The aim of this research is to analyse the conflicts rate from the point of view of parents and adopted and non-adopted adolescents. 55 adopted adolescents and their adoptive parents; and 402 non-adopted adolescents and their parents (n= 258) answered Questionnaire Conflicts by Motrico, Fuentes y Bersabé (2001). The results showed significant differences in every conflict according to adoptive and non-adoptive parents, although from the point of view of adopted and non-adopted adolescents only some conflicts were significant in relation to their father (TV, friends, girls/boys that he/she love); homework with their mothers, and responsibility for money, hour arriving home, music, choice of clothing, and tobacco and drug abuse with both their fathers and mothers.
