在被转诊接受临床服务的 6 至 11 岁儿童和 12 至 16 岁青少年中检查了家庭系统与儿童症状之间的关系。根据对家庭凝聚力和适应性的评估，家庭被分为三组：极端组、中等组和平衡组。通过症状清单评估问题行为，并测量孩子的自尊。平衡范围内的家庭的孩子症状比中等或极端家庭少。在有青少年的家庭中，他的关系不太牢固。这些样本中的自尊和症状呈负相关。自尊并不调节系统和症状之间的关系，而是与家庭功能独立相关。这些结果表明，家庭内部双边过程的运作，一方面将凝聚力和适应性与低自尊和精神病理学迹象联系起来。
The relation between family systems and child symptomatology was examined among children aged 6 to 11 and adolescents aged 12 to 16 who had been referred for clinical services. On the basis of an assessment of family cohesion and adaptability, the families were divided into three groups: extreme, midrange, and balanced. Problem behaviors were assessed with a symptoms checklist, and the child's self-esteem was also measured. Families in the balanced range had children with fewer symptoms than did midrange or extreme families; his relation was less strong among families with adolescents. Self-esteem and symptoms were negatively correlated in these samples. Self-esteem did not moderate the relation between systems and symptoms but was independently related to family functioning. These results suggest the operation of bilateral processes within the family that link cohesion and adaptability, on the one hand, with low self-esteem and indications of psychopathology, on the other.
