Society lives the transition between modernity and postmodernity. In this context, the family is considered as a fully dynamic system that changes over time. Therefore, family structures are in constant motion, and family functions also require changes. Sometimes the functions in the family change, but the structures do not, so conflicts within the family may appear. The objective of this research is to show how families evaluate their role in the postmodern context. Hence, the evaluation was carried out in 37 families through the APGAR test, a questionnaire that explores five areas of family function. Statistical analysis and data processing were performed with free software tools and the experiments may be reproduced as the data and code are hosted in open repositories. The results show that the perception of dysfunction at the individual level does not differ from the family perception. The families typically deny the conflict and the implicit changes in the family's functions because they do not know how to handle these changes. Likewise, the study shows that the changes in the family, attributed by several authors to the transition related to the postmodern paradigm, outline a growing trend towards the perception of the dysfunctionality of the family system over time.
社会正处于现代性与后现代性的过渡阶段。在这种背景下，家庭被视为一个完全动态的系统，会随着时间而变化。因此，家庭结构处于不断变动之中，家庭功能也需要随之改变。有时家庭功能发生了变化，但结构却未改变，于是家庭内部可能会出现冲突。本研究的目的是展示家庭如何在后现代背景下评估自身角色。因此，通过APGAR测试对37个家庭进行了评估，这是一份探索家庭功能五个方面的问卷。使用免费软件工具进行了统计分析和数据处理，并且由于数据和代码存于开放存储库中，实验可以被复制。结果表明，个体层面上对功能失调的认知与家庭认知并无差异。家庭通常会否认冲突以及家庭功能的隐性变化，因为他们不知道如何应对这些变化。同样，该研究表明，一些作者将其归因于与后现代范式相关的转变所导致的家庭变化，勾勒出随着时间推移，家庭系统功能失调认知呈增长趋势的情况。
