Resumo(s)
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of family
type on communication with parents and family, as well as to
analyse the contribution of communication in single- and twoparents
families to adolescent life satisfaction in Portugal and Spain.
Methodology: Participants were 5005 Portuguese and 21,423
Spanish adolescents aged 11–16 years, from the 2014 edition of
the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in Portugal
and Spain.
Results: Results showed that communication with parents and
communication with family, in general, were higher in two-parent
families than in single-parent families and was relevant to predict
adolescent life satisfaction from single- and two-parent families in
Portugal and Spain.
Conclusion: The results prove that communication with family is
essential to predict life satisfaction in both countries. It is
important to work on improving conditions of family life, as well
as to implement programmes that promote better communication
between all family members, especially in single-parent families.
