Family functioning as determinant of self-regulation in adult offspring

The current study investigated the role of family functioning in determining self-regulation. Having reviewed the literature, it was hypothesized that family functioning would significantly determine self-regulation in adult offspring. Total sample was one hundred and forty (n=140) adults including seventy (n=70) male and seventy (n=70) female. Entire sample was drawn from 14 departments of University of Gujrat through convenient sampling technique. Data was gathered using Demographic Information Form, McMaster General Family Functioning Scale (Epstein, Levin & Bishop, 1976) and Self-Regulation Scale (Schwarzer, Diehl & Schmitz, 1999). Linear Regression Analysis has demonstrated family functioning as significant determinant of self-regulation in adult offspring.
