Sažetak
Family climate is associated with social and school adjusting of children (Margalit, Heiman 1986), depression, low self-esteem (Chorpita, et al., 1998), stress coping (Peleg-Popko, Klingman, 2002) and suicidal behavior (McKenry, et al. 1982). Starting from the assumption that family climate affects the adaptive behavior, the goal of this research is to examine the relationship of family climate measured by a Scale of family environment (Moos & Moos, 2002) and adaptive behavior of children measured by BRP-2 (Brown & Hammill, 1990). A sample of LD children (80) is equivalent to their typical children (N 80), both sexes, students from elementary schools in Zagreb, grade 6. Children gave self-assessment of their behavior and family climate, parents assessed the adaptive behavior of children. In families with more conflicts, parents assessed their children's adaptive behavior at a lower level. Higher levels of adaptive behavior in children with learning disabilities are identified in those families with better organization. The level of conflict in the family is negatively correlated with estimates of adaptive behavior in all surroundings, home, school, peers. Self-assessment of behavior at home was positively correlated with the cohesion and organization of families of LD children. Self-assessment of behavior among peers was positively associated with cohesion and emphasis on intellectual and cultural activities in the family. A significant relationship between family climate and adaptive behavior is not determined in a sample of typical children. The results are interpreted in the light of theories about the family as a system. Results of previous research show that families of LD children have significantly more control and religious values, than families of typical children (Cvitkovic, 2010).
