Family Adaptability and Cohesiveness Evaluation Scale III in Romania

The objectives of the study are a diagnosis of Romanian family using Family Adaptability and Cohesiveness Evaluation Scale III, and interviews. Mid-range and Balanced type families are the most frequent, the Chaotically Connected model being predominant. Families in the urban environment tend to lack somewhat in cohesion, showing increased flexibility. Out of the Mid-range type families, most of them are located in the urban environment. Circa half of those interviewed described the family with very high cohesion, very low flexibility and average to high communication; these were correlated with the marital (couple) satisfaction expressed in the interviews.
