Abstract
Family members interact and relate to each other and society in general, and the type of communication within the family and the self-concept of its members are significant. This study explored the relationship between family typology and communication in the self-concept of 50 high school adolescents aged 15 to 17 from the city of Loja, Ecuador. The Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale (PACS) by Barnes and Olson and the Self-Concept Questionnaire Form 5 (AF-5) by García and Musitu were used for this purpose. The results revealed positive and significant correlations between the level of openness in communication and family self-concept, physical self-concept, and social self-concept in nuclear families. Additionally, a significant and inverse correlation was found between the magnitude of communication problems and family self-concept. In single-parent families, significant correlations were observed between the level of openness in communication and family self-concept, as well as academic-career self-concept. Likewise, a negative correlation was observed between the magnitude of communication problems and family self-concept. Extended families showed positive but nonsignificant correlations between open communication and self-concept. It is concluded that family type is related to communication, as open and frank communication is positively associated with healthy self-concept among adolescents. This underscores the importance of considering these factors in studying individuals belonging to this age group.
