This study examines the role of family values in the personal development of university students. The research aims to determine the relationship between the quality of the family environment and key psychological indicators of personality development, including self-esteem, emotional stability, and social adaptation. A quantitative research design was employed in the study. The sample consisted of 140 university students aged between 18 and 22 years. Data were collected using several psychological assessment tools, including the Family Environment Scale developed by Rudolf Moos and the self-esteem measurement method proposed by Tamara Dembo and Susanna Rubinstein. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis.
The results revealed a significant positive relationship between family environment quality and the psychological indicators of students’ personal development. In particular, a strong correlation was found between family environment and self-esteem (r = 0.62), emotional stability (r = 0.58), and social adaptation (r = 0.54). These findings suggest that a supportive and positive family environment plays an important role in strengthening psychological stability and social competence among young individuals.
The findings of the study support several psychological theories regarding the importance of family influence on personality development, including the psychoanalytic perspective proposed by Sigmund Freud and the social learning theory developed by Albert Bandura. Overall, the study highlights the importance of strengthening family values and supportive relationships within the family as key factors contributing to healthy personality development among university students.
