The current study investigated the differences between intact and non-intact families in family processes, including systematic family functioning, parental behavioral control, parental psychological control, and parent-child relational qualities. The participants were 3,328 Secondary One students, with a mean age of 12.59 years, recruited from 28 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Four validated scales were used to assess family processes. Results showed that adolescents in non-intact families perceived relatively poorer family functioning, lower level of paternal and maternal behavioral control, lower level of paternal psychological control, and poorer parent-child relational qualities than did adolescents in intact families. This generally indicated that family processes were poorer in non-intact families, compared with those in intact families. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed.
本研究调查了完整家庭和不完整家庭在家庭过程方面的差异，包括系统的家庭功能、父母行为控制、父母心理控制以及亲子关系质量。参与者是来自香港 28 所中学的 3328 名初一学生，平均年龄为 12.59 岁。使用了四个经过验证的量表来评估家庭过程。结果表明，与完整家庭的青少年相比，不完整家庭的青少年感知到的家庭功能较差，父母行为控制和心理控制水平较低，亲子关系质量较差。这通常表明，与完整家庭相比，不完整家庭的家庭过程较差。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
