EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY CONDITIONS ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: A DESCRIPTIVE CORRELATIONAL STUDY

Abstract

This study, using descriptive correlational research design, examines the influence of various family conditions on the well-being of the respondents. The results are presented and discussed in accordance with the research questions outlined in the first chapter. The study found that the respondents generally reported high levels of conjugal relationship quality, characterized by strong satisfaction, happiness, intimacy, trust, and commitment between spouses/partners. The parent-child relationships also exhibited positive dynamics, with open communication, parental involvement, and fostering of independence. However, there were some moderate levels of conflict and tension in the parent-child relationships, suggesting a potential area for improvement. In terms of finances, the respondents demonstrated a generally positive outlook, with high levels of confidence in financial management skills, budgeting abilities, and motivation to improve their financial well-being. Though some respondents expressed moderate satisfaction and feelings of financial security. Overall, the findings paint a picture of relatively healthy family conditions, with strong conjugal relationships, positive parent-child dynamics, and a generally positive financial situation among the respondents. The study highlights areas of strength as well as potential areas for further strengthening family functioning and well-being.
