Interview:Javele Briggs (Older Brother)

I asked my big brother how he felt when are mother told us we could not call her mom, His respone was that he really didn't care much as he got older but when he was younger it kind of bothered him. He feel that she was never there so why should we even want to call her mommy. javele said that it is the reason they don't even speak its like he looks right pass her.he feel that if she was to die today he wouldn't even cry. My brother and i have diffrent relationship with are mother i enjoy being around her and talking to her. Javele on the other hand cant stand the ground she walk on. Its crazy because we both experienced the same thing.


The Family Stucture Model

Family stucture is expected to have a direct relationship to adolescent self-efficacy. If non-tradictional family forms hold uniform negative outcomes for children, then teens within such households should expect to have lower levels of self-efficacy.

Discussions and Conclusions

The results of the study are eye catching. The main finding of this study provides no support for general hypothesis that family stucture holds any significant detrimental relationship to adolescent self-efficacy.
In a non-normative family structure has no effect upon the measured levels of adolescent selfefficacy. Teens self-efficacy is either much more resilient to family disturbances and social stigma or in the face of elements.
