FIORINI, Milena Carolina  and  PATTA BARDAGI, Marúcia. Family functioning, differentiation of self and career adaptability of brazilian university students. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.3, pp.210-223. ISSN 0123-417X.  https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.35.3.155.2.

Although the influence of the family in the career development is consolidated for the scientific literature, this interface is still little explored through the systemic family theory, mainly in the Brazilian context. The objective of this study was to analyse the relations between family working, differentiation of self and career adaptability of university students. The sample was composed for 800 students of 70 graduation courses of Brazilian universities, of both sexes, with ages between 18 and 35. It was found that university students with more elevated levels of differentiation of self and career adaptability presented higher balance between cohesion and flexibility in family interaction, and positive perceptions of communication and satisfaction in relation to the family. These results can contribute for the elaboration of intervention strategies by clinic psychology professionals, career counseling and university management.

Keywords : adaptability; career counseling; family relationships.
