Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family functioning and positive self constructs in graduate students. A sample of graduate students selected purposively from University of Kashmir (n = 85) completed the sample survey packets comprised of ‘Family Functioning Style Scale’, ‘Rosenberg self-esteem scale’ and ‘Self-congruence subscale’. A question on factors that significantly correlate with self-esteem and self-congruence was formulated. Data were analyzed by stepwise regression. The results showed that there are significant relationships between sub-domains family function, self-esteem, and self-congruence. A sense of commitment in families could predict self-esteem; strength of balance and the quality of communication in families could predict self-congruence among students. These findings show that for the development of positive self constructs in an individual, parents should try to have a family with commitment, balance and effective communication among other sub-domains of family functioning. Limitations and implications for future research have also been discussed.
