Abstract. Family is a basic social group, which influences one's life in all its stages. Through optimal fulfilment of functions which are imposed by society, it creates a safe environment for survival and development of family members. It is an essential factor in socializing and significantly affects the social functioning of its members. The family is also a dynamic system whose functioning operates a number of internal but also external factors. One of these factors is family income. The aim of our study is to investigate which dimensions and aspects of family functioning are threatened by living below the breadline. For assessing individual dimension of family functioning we used the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Quantitative analysis showed disruption of the functioning of the family system in all dimensions. The greatest family disruption was found in dimensions of role, behaviour control and affective involvement.Poverty is a social problem that negatively affects all dimensions of family system functioning. In order to provide effective help and intervention to the family, it is essential that the social worker is able to correctly identify problem areas and appropriately choose methods and procedures aimed at restoration of family functioning.

“…The SC-SC (Jones, Charles, & Benson, 2013) program described in this article is grounded in theories of social, human, and relationship capital (Coleman, 1988;Orthner, Jones-Sanpei & Williamson, 2003), family vulnerability and stress (Bradbury & Karney, 2004), and social learning (Bandura, 1977;Stuart, 1980). Together, these theories suggest that relationship resilience is a function of the individual's and the couple's social context and support network, level of adaptability to acute and chronic stressors, and the couple's interpersonal assets such as communication and problem-solving skills.…”

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the treatment effects of a relationship skills and family strengthening intervention for n ¼ 726 high-risk, disadvantaged new parents. Method: Hierarchical linear modeling and regression models were used to assess intervention treatment effects. These findings were subsequently verified through two sensitivity analyses using propensity score analysis and growth curve modeling. Results: Analyses indicated 6 of 10 beneficial treatment effects were statistically significant, including relationship satisfaction, relationship quality, communication, conflict resolution, arguing, and emotional abuse. Most of these effects were verified in the more rigorous sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: Study findings suggest that this intervention is effective in helping disadvantaged couples improve relationship skills and strengthen family bonds.

“…From a family strengths perspective, the quality of the relationships in the family can and should foster all these forms of capital assets, including social, relational, and human capital (Orthner, Jones-Sanpei, & Williamson, 2003, 2004. In fact, there appears to be an empirically close relationship between each of these forms of capital assets in families.…”

This research examines the effects of parental marital quality and the quality of the parent-child relationship on the educational progress of adolescents. Previous research indicates that family structure and economic capacity have significant effects on educational achievement and high school graduation rates. Few studies, however, examined the effects of the quality of the parental relationship on the educational outcomes of their children. This study is built on bioecological and social capital theories of human development suggesting that the capacity for child and youth development is enhanced when their primary relationships are supportive and provide them with social assets that encourage human capital development. The study uses data from the NLSY97, a nationally representative sample of adolescents who are being followed into adulthood. The findings indicate that family stability and living with two biological parents is a stronger predictor of high school graduation than parent marital quality and the quality of the parent-child relationship. But the data also indicate that parent marital quality and the quality of the parent-child relationship have a strong and positive effect on postsecondary education 249 access among those who do graduate from high school. These findings are interpreted in light of the contribution of relationship quality to further educational involvement and the implications this has for workforce development and successful labor force competition in a global economy.
