EGUIARTE, Blanca Estela Barcelata; MAGUEY, Arturo Granados and FERRUSCA, Alejandro Ramírez. Correlatos entre funcionamiento familiar y apoyo social percibido en escolares en riesgo psicosocial. Rev. Mex. Orient. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.24, pp.65-70. ISSN 1665-7527.
The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between family functioning and perceived social support in students of psychosocial risk and low income contexts, because little research of these variables with this type population. There is evidence that family functioning and perceived social support can play a role protective in adverse contexts, however, data are inconsistent. The results show significant relationships between both variables, particularly between cohesion family and perceived family support. Data also show that boys and girls perceive how their families and social support them, nevertheless, only half of the students in the whole sample agree that their families support them and they are cohesive families and allow the emotional expression. Therefore, these students could be considered a risk group.
