ASSESSMENT OF FAMILY ENVIRONMENT AND OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENERATIONS – DATA FROM AN INVESTIGATION IN SUCEAVA COUNTY

Abstract

Our work is based on a common sense observation of the relational difficulties between parents and teenagers, trying to place emphasis on their perspective on the family environment. The psycho-social investigation followed the analysis of student opinion regarding the quality of the family environment as a whole, as well as on the following levels: the frequency and quality of communication, manifestation of affection, mutual gratification and encouragement, giving the right to an opinion and the exercising of autonomy. A deeper knowledge of the problems which could influence adolescent behaviour could serve as a starting point for practical attempts at educational counselling.
