“…were significantly associated with less internalizing problems among adolescence such as adolescent depression (Catalano et al, 2002;Reivich et al, 2013;Shek and Sun, 2013;Leung and Shek, 2015;Leung et al, 2017). Additionally, favorable family functioning (e.g., frequent communication, family harmony, a good parent-child relationship) can promote PYD features such as resilience, selfefficacy, socioemotional competence, and prosocial behaviors in adolescents (Renzaho et al, 2013;Cigala et al, 2014;Reitz et al, 2014;Yee and Sulaiman, 2017), which may further predict the lower likelihood of internalizing problems (e.g., depression; Reivich et al, 2013;Wang and Saudino, 2015;Rocchino et al, 2017;Yee and Sulaiman, 2017). Based on the development assets framework and previous studies, PYD is expected to act as an important factor that mediates the relationships between family functioning and internalizing problems (Hypothesis 1).…”

“…Empirical studies have supported this view. For example, previous studies found that healthy family functioning (e.g., good family communication) is correlated with higher level of positive development (e.g., greater selfesteem and resilience), as well as a lower likelihood of anxiety and depression in adolescents (Russell et al, 2000;Stark et al, 2012;Yee and Sulaiman, 2017). PYD attributes (e.g., resilience, prosocial behavior, etc.)…”

Research has consistently found that poor family functioning is a risk factor for adolescents' internalizing problems. However, studies of the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relation are insufficient. In this study, we explore the association between family functioning and adolescents' internalizing problems by testing the mediating roles of positive youth development (PYD) attributes and the moderating role of migrant status. A large cross-sectional sample of 11,865 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 14.45 years, standard deviation = 1.55 years) were used to measure internalizing problems, family functioning, PYD, migrant status, and other demographic information. After controlling for covariates (age, gender, grade, and socioeconomic status), the results revealed that PYD mediated the relation between family functioning and internalizing problems. Moreover, migrant status moderated the relationship between family functioning and internalizing problems. Specifically, the effects of family functioning on internalizing problems were stronger among local-born adolescents than among migrant adolescents. The findings indicate that improving family functioning and PYD attributes may be promising approaches to prevent/reduce adolescent internalizing problems.

“…Researchers in developing countries (e.g., Malaysia), with limited or no funding, tend to use the FACES-III, which is available free of charge. In fact, FACES-III has been widely used to measure family functioning in Malaysia (e.g., [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]).…”

The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale III (FACES-III) has been widely used to measure an individual’s family functioning in terms of cohesion and adaptability. In Malaysia, the FACES-III has been translated into the Malay language for the community, but its psychometric properties in this context remain unknown. Thus, the purpose of this research is to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the FACES-III in 852 adolescents attending secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Data were randomly split into two halves: the exploration sample and the validation sample. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the exploration sample and a two-factor model was discovered after removing nine items that showed low factor loading. Then, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the validation sample to compare the one-factor models, two-factor models, and three-factor models. Results showed that the 11-item two-factor model (FACES-III-M-SF) was superior to the other competing models. Both the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses replicated the two-factor structure of the original version of FACES-III. The reliability of the overall scale was consistently good, but the subscale results were mixed. This suggests that researchers should use the overall score, but not the subscale scores, in analyses.

“…In which such things are prevalent in single mothers with a low economy. Other previous studies have also stated that increased stress and depression in single parents influence their children's behaviour to perceive depression, anxiety, and anger, leading to juvenile delinquency (Keller et al, 2002;Kim & Brody, 2005;Ng & Wan Sulaiman, 2017).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the social and economic sectors. Family, the smallest social unit, is experiencing the impact, particularly for the woman as single-parent. Being a single parent is either a choice, decision, or condition that must be accepted due to the spouse’s passing or other condition. Single parents carried numerous burdens alone, including earning a living and raising the children. These burdens have a significant impact on single parents. This study aims to reveal single-parent families’ survival mechanisms. The research applied a qualitative method by interviewing single mothers from university students in East Java Province, Indonesia. This study used the theory of survival mechanism proposed by James Scott. The study found that instabilities generated by the COVID-19 pandemic produced enormous diminishing income. Such ordeals faced by single parents are burdensome because they initially had to support the family amid the feeble economy. Income vulnerability becomes a deep concern for single mothers. Pandemic COVID-19 caused these mothers to empower themselves and develop various survival strategies. The mothers from middle-class families live frugally and selective when they buy something they need. While mothers from lower-class families did different survival mechanisms, range from careful spending, owe some money, and open a business using their ex-husband’s savings. Furthermore, they are also working overtime, empowering their children to help with the work, diversifying jobs by opening food stalls up to have an online shop. Therefore, it can be assumed that the COVID-19 pandemic has made single parents struggle even more to fulfil their family needs.
