| description | <div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>When a couple starts a new family, both members share expectations based on what they have learned from their experience in their respective families of origin, in such a way that their offspring will repeat the same patterns in the future. If children perceive a healthy appropriate relationship between their parents, chances are that they too will have a good relationship when they start their own families. However, children will have a different perception when their parents go through a separation or divorce. Based on these facts, the aim of this article was to analyze university students’ perception regarding their parents’ relationship as a couple within their family environment, taking into consideration whether their parents lived together or separately. A target group comprised of 566 university students of which 345 were women and 221 were men participated in the study. The instrument used was the measurement questionnaire </span><span><em>“Dinámica de la Familia Nuclear Mexicana”</em> </span><span>[</span><span>The</span><span>Mexican Family Dynamics] </span><span>(</span><span>Vásquez, et al., 2003). </span><span>In this study the only area addressed was “Parents and their relationship as a couple”. The statistical difference between groups was obtained using the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed significant statistical differences between university students’ perception of their parents depending on whether they live together or separately. A conclusion was reached on the existence of different factors that affect the family environment, which has a differential influence on each family member’s perception.</span></p></div></div></div> |
