Abstract/Summary
In this research, a variety of family structures that exists in the Philippines were studied by the researchers: a family with separated parents, intact family, and family with OFW mother while the children are left with the father. The researchers examined 150 high school Filipino participants to assess their level of importance of their social adjustment. Through a two-way anova analysis, the researchers investigated whether there is a significant relationship between family structure and adolescent's social adjustment and if parenting styles can moderate the effects. The results have shown that family structure plays a significant role in the adolescent's development particularly in school social adjustment (p value: 0.00). Parenting style generally may have its moderating effects, but does not have a significant relationship with the adolescent's social adjustment.
