Abstract

The present research, entitled Influence of Family Structure on the Holistic Development of Adolescents: A Comparative Analysis between Traditional and Diverse Households, addresses the impact of diverse family configurations on the educational process and the holistic development of adolescents within a Mexican context characterized by significant social and cultural transformations.

This study adopts a quantitative, explanatory approach aimed at measuring adolescents’ perceptions through a standardized instrument validated using the Content Validity Index (CVI) method. According to Lynn (1986), content validity of a measurement instrument is established through expert evaluation in the relevant field. The results were validated via an internal consistency analysis, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.963.

A total of 145 variables were assessed, grouped into three dimensions: the household, parental roles, and the holistic development of the adolescent. The target population in this research comprised adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years, attending three public general secondary schools and one private institution. The analyzed institutions collectively enroll approximately 1,300 students, distributed across mixed-gender groups. The selected sample for this study consisted of 390 adolescents, of whom 204 were female, representing 52.3% of participants, while the remaining 186 were male, constituting 47.7%.

Regarding household type, it was identified that 207 adolescents reside in traditional households, accounting for 53.1% of the sample, whereas the remaining 183 come from diverse households, representing 46.9%. In comparative terms, this research identifies that diverse households offer advantages in the emotional and social development of adolescents, highlighting their flexibility and capacity to adapt to modern challenges. However, areas for improvement were also observed, particularly concerning equitable access to resources and educational support. These differences underscore the importance of recognizing family diversity as an opportunity rather than a limitation for holistic development.
