Reciprocal relationship between home environment and development of TMR adolescents
Abstract:
The reciprocal relationship between home environment and social competency of 112 TMR adolescents was examined over a period of 3 years. Assessment of home environment included child-rearing attitudes, educationally relevant stimuli and opportunities available at home, and general psychosocial climate among family members. Measures of social competency included the child's adaptive behavior, psychosocial adjustment, and self-concept. Partial correlation and multiple regression analysis revealed significant bidirectional effects between home environment and psychosocial adjustment of TMR adolescents. The environmental effects on the adolescents appear to be broad and dynamic whereas the adolescents' effects on the home environment appear to be direct and specific.
