Biological Aspects of the Development and Self- Concept in Adolescents Living in Single-Parent Famelies

In this study we investigate whether there are differences between adolescents who grow up in single-parent families and those who grow up in nucleus families. There are no differences in physical development between the adolescents who are growing up in single parent families and those growing up in nucleus families. There is no difference in self-concept between these two groups except in the ethical and moral self-image of adolescents living with one parent. Adolescents living in single parent familes have a weaker moral self-image.It can thus be concluded that physical development and positive self-concept (a favorable image of oneself) in adolescents do not depend type of family but on the different characteristics of parents and their relationship with children.
