| description | Samples of the Military High School students (N = 170) and students of civil high schools (N = 204) were examined for family functioning perception characteristics from the perspective of Olson Circumplex model of marital and family systems. The study was aimed to determine the presence of specificities in the perception of family functioning in the Military High School students and socio-economic characteristics of their families, which may be one of the factors in the choice of military profession. The results revealed that the Military High School students came mostly from families of four (4) or more members; the number of children in the families was usually two (2) or greater; monthly income of the family was under average and average; and the level of parents' education was usually secondary school degree. Regarding the characteristics of the dimensions of family functioning, examinees from both samples perceive their families as functional. However, the main difference lies in the fact that the Military High School students show higher scores on the balanced scales of cohesivity and flexibility, while on the unbalanced scales of disunity and chaotic condition they show lower scores as compared to civil high school students. The highest percentage of the Military High School students believe that permissive parenting style is dominantly present in their families. |
