The Beavers‐Timberlawn Model of Family Competence and the Circumplex Model of Family Adaptability and Cohesion: Separate, but Equal?

Abstract: An empirical examination of the association between instruments measuring the Beavers-Timberlawn Model of family competence and the Circumplex Model of adaptability and cohesion is presented. Even when triangulated measures were utilized to control for the divergent methods of data collection traditionally employed to operationalize these models of family health, family competence as measured by the Beavers-Timberlawn Family Evaluation Scales was either minimally (mothers) or not associated at all (fathers and… Show more

“…One recurring finding in these studies is that families of children and adolescents with behavior problems are often found to be chaotic. These families are characterized by inconsistent rules, lack of leadership, dramatic role shifts, and poor problem-solving ability (Garbarino, Sebes, & Schellinbach, 1985;Green, Kolevzon, & Vosler, 1985;Olson, Portner, & Lavee, 1985;Rodick, Henggeler, & Hanson, 1986). These findings support Minuchin's (1967) conclusions, based on extensive clinical study of disorganized slum families, in which he demonstrated the importance of family stability in the personality development of the child.…”

“…We used only selfreport, single-observational measures. Other researchers, including Green, Kelevzon, and Vosler (1985) and Olson (1969) have demonstrated minimal correlation between self-report and observational measures. It may be that methods to measure interactional styles by outsider observation will be required to find and test family differences.…”

“…Despite the self-report nature of the family items used in this instrument, the FACES questionnaire is one of the few statistically reliable and valid measures of family behavior available Olson, 1986;Green, Kolevzon, & Vosler, 1985). The scale measuring family cohesion (Cronbach alpha = .89) used in this study included twelve items adapted from the FACES questionnaire (see Appendix).…”
