The effect of family functioning and basic need satisfaction on decision-making styles of adolescents: a rural South African sample

Abstract

Families are complex and diverse, but essentially are the cornerstone of society. There is very limited research regarding the role family functioning and basic psychological needs play in the decision-making styles of adolescents. This is the first known study to be conducted with these variables within a rural community. This study therefore aims to examine the relationship between the variables under study.
