The Influence of Family Climate on the Attitude toward School of High School Students

Abstract

In recent years, not only researchers, but also the large public have focused on topics such as family, family relationships, family climate, education in the family and the psychological and social impact of family relationships on children, at various levels of their development. Following a series of studies, it has been found that the basis of healthy behaviour and a positive attitude toward life is laid during the first years one spends in the family. At the same time, some experts argue that at the moment children reach adolescence, family members must renegotiate their roles. In this light, the close relationship between parents and children becomes highly important to building one’s individuality. Of great importance in developing a child’s identity is his/her perception on his/her family climate and on his/her parents’ educational style. These factors affect everyone’s capacity for self-regulation and self-control.
