“…Receiving social support predicts various positive psychological outcomes, including increased feelings of well-being, acceptance, relief, improved life quality (e.g., Burleson & MacGeorge, 2002), lower rates of depression (Edwards & Clarke, 2004), higher self-esteem and perceptions of competence (Franco & Levitt, 1998), and better overall adjustment (Manne, Dougherty, Veach, & Kless, 1999). Receiving support helps individuals make sense of their experiences and gain a sense of control over their distress (e.g., Wortman, 1984).…”

“…Specifically, positive sibling relationships are linked to behaviors necessary for high quality friendships, including better conflict resolution strategies (Franco & Levitt, 1998;Recchia & Howe, 2009), higher levels of companionship and recreation with friends (Franco & Levitt, 1998), increased self-disclosure (Howe, Aquan-Assee, Bukowski, Lehoux, & Rinaldi, 2001), increased reciprocal interactions (e.g., companionship, emotional responsiveness, and prosocial activities: Karos, Howe, & Aquan-Assee, 2007), and, for girls, more emotional understanding (Howe et al, 2001). Further, positive sibling relationships have been directly related to increased friendship quality in middle childhood and early adolescence (Franco & Levitt, 1998;Yeh & Lempers, 2004).…”

“…Sibling relationships may be especially important contributors to social skills and friendship quality (see above; Franco & Levitt, 1998;Yeh & Lempers, 2004). Certain characteristics of siblings have been associated with enhanced relationship quality in non-PI children; however, essentially nothing is known about these factors among PI children.…”

“…As the non-PI literature suggests, children with siblings may learn the skills necessary for high quality friendships, especially in terms of conflict resolution, within their sibling relationships (Franco & Levitt, 1998;Furman & Buhrmester, 1985a;Recchia & Howe, 2009). This practice may be particularly important for later adoptees, who spent a longer time without adequate relationship experiences and who had fewer opportunities to learn social skills early in life.…”

Children who spend their early life in social-emotionally depriving institutions have limited opportunities to engage in relationships. This early experience has been associated with many problematic behavioral outcomes; however, researchers have not frequently examined relationship quality of post-institutional adoptees, nor have they examined aspects of the adoptive family that might moderate institutionalization effects. The purpose of this study was to examine the self-reported relationship quality of 10–17-year-old children adopted into the USA from Russian institutions and to determine whether sibling characteristics (relative age, gender composition, sibling adoption status) moderate institutionalization effects. Older age at adoption was related to poorer friendship and sibling, but not mother, relationship quality. Older siblings and same-sex siblings buffered children from this negative age-at-adoption association.

“…Walau bagaimanapun, tinjauan literatur menunjukkan tidak semua anak yang hidup dalam lingkungan keluarga berisiko yang tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik mengalami kemunduran dalam kehidupan (Franco & Levitt, 1998;Fagen & Cowen, 1996;Rozumah et al, 2010). Kebanyakan dapatan terdahulu membuktikan individu yang dibesarkan dalam ekologi keluarga berisiko berupaya memperolehi kejayaan sama ada dalam akademik mahupun bukan akademik.…”

ABSTRAK: Selaras dengan hasrat kerajaan untuk membangunkan generasi yang mempunyai gaya hidup sihat dan sejahtera, pelbagai usaha telah diambil oleh pihak sekolah untuk membantu melahirkan pelajar yang cerdas, cergas, berakhlak, dan berwawasan, antaranya dengan memfokuskan terhadap faktor psikologi dalam usaha membentuk pelajar yang berdaya tahan. Justeru, kajian ini berusaha untuk mengenal pasti tahap kefungsian keluarga dan ketahanan diri dalam kalangan pelajar. Sebanyak 376 orang pelajar Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Harian di Zon Utaratelah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Instrumen Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III (FACES III) digunakan untuk mengukur kefungsian keluarga, dan Resilient Scale (RS) pula bagi mengukur ketahanan diri. Keputusan kajian mendapati tahap kefungsian keluarga responden adalah sederhana, manakala tahap ketahanan diri responden pula adalah tinggi. Dapatan juga menunjukkan bahawa aspek kefungsian keluarga yang baik dapat meningkatkan ketahanan diri belia. Implikasi kajian ini dapat menyumbang terhadap usaha pembangunan pelajar oleh pihak sekolah, kerajaan, serta masayarakat. KATA KUNCI: Kefungsian Keluarga, ketahanan diri, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Harian PENGENALANGenerasi muda masa kini tidak terlepas daripada berhadapan dengan pelbagai bentuk cabaran yang akan mencabar kemampuan dan ketahanan mereka (Zainah et al., 2013;Jamie, 2011). Malah, liputan meluas di media massa berkaitan isu gejala sosial yang melibatkan pelajar sekolah sedikit sebanyak telah mempengaruhi pemikiran masyarakat untuk menganggap golongan ini sebagai liabiliti berbanding aset kepada negara. Ini kerana, beberapa faktor seperti sistem kekeluargaan, sistem pendidikan, daya tahan pelajar yang rendah, dan pegaruh media diambil kira oleh masyarakat (Kementerian Belia dan Sukan, 2015). Justeru, dalam membangunkan pelajar yang berdaya tahan serta mempraktikkan gaya hidup yang sihat, kesihatan fizikal, mental, sosial, dan spiritual amat ditekankan. Kesihatan fizikal merujuk kepada kesihatan tubuh badan. Kesihatan mental adalah melalui pembinaan tingkah laku berdaya tahan. Kesihatan sosial pula menerusi pendidikan yang dapat membentuk individu yang bertanggungjawab terhadap diri, keluarga, dan masyarakat. Manakala, kesihatan spiritual adalah dengan menerapkan pengukuhan nilai agama dalam diri anak-anak dan pelajar sejak kecil, yang mana ibu bapa turut memainkan peranan penting dalam koteks ini (Kementerian Pelajaran dan Sukan, 2015). Secara ringkasnya, dapat diperhatikan bahawa antara aspek yang perlu ditekankan dalam menghasilkan pelajar yang berkualiti ialah aspek daya tahan dan kefungsian sesebuah keluarga.Pelan Pembangunan Malaysia (2013-2025) menekankan bahawa setiap pemimpin, pendidik, ibu bapa, dan masyarakat mempunyai tanggungjawab dalam memastikan generasi muda mencapai potensi sepenuhnya dalam dunia global yang mencabar. Menurut Zainah et al. (2013) dan Yaakob Daud et al. (2016 ketahanan diri pelajar dalam berhadapan dengan pelbagai isu tingkah laku adalah berkait rapat dengan peranan keluarga yan...
