ABSTRACT

This study examines a multivariate model of the effect of life events and transitions, intrafamily strain, marital adjustment, and appraisal on family well-being across the family system types. Data from 356 families were analysed SAS program. The result show that life events had no direct on family well-being but they intensified intrafamily strain. Family strain, in turn, negatively affected marital adjustment in flexible-connected families and structured-seperated families and perceived well-being in flexible-seperared, flexible-connected and structured-seperated families. marital adjustment were positively related to well-being in flexible-connected families. In flexible-connected families, marital adjustment seems to buffer the effect of intrafamily stain on well-being. The result also suggested that a combination of cohesion and adaptability level may explain differencies in the family's response to de4mands.
