the relationship between family communication patterns and adjustment with resiliency in children

Background: the family is one of the most important factors in the all-round development ofthe children. this study aimed to investigate the relationship between family communicationpatterns and adjustment with resiliency in children.methods: this study was descriptive and correlational. the study population comprised allsixth-grade elementary school students in ahvaz city, iran in the 2016-2017 academic year.the study sample was selected by a multi-stage cluster sampling method. the revised familycommunication patterns instrument of koerner and fitzpatrick, connor-davidson resiliencescale, and multidimensional adjustment scale were employed in this study. to analyze the data,the pearson correlation and systematic regression were used.results: in this study, conversation orientation with resiliency (r=0.22) and adjustment has apositive and significant relationship. besides, the adjustment (β=0.26) was also a positive andsignificant predictor of the family communication pattern. therefore, the results showed thatconversation orientation (β=0.19) and resiliency (β=0.19) are the positive and significant predictorsof the adjustment. finally, the results showed that family communication patterns and adjustmentwere the best predictors of student resilience (p≤0.01). however, there was no significantrelationship between resiliency and adjustment with an orientation of conformity (p≤0.01). conclusion: results suggested that predicting variables can increase resiliency and adjustmentof students.
