Consensual

Consensual families have one sided communication skills. It's what ever the parent say and nothing else. They are not allowed to disagree with anything the parent has said.

Family Interaction

Families range from strong to weak in their conversation and conformity orientations, with four family types resulting from the intersection of the two dimensions

Family communication is considered to be a major factor in determining the quality of family.

Protective

Communication in protective families stresses obedience and enforces parental authority with little value placed on the exchange of ideas or the discussions.

(Beebe, Beebe and Redmond 2014)

Laissez-faire

Parents support individual decision making, but don't take much interest in the decisions.

Conclusion

Family Communication Patterns Model

Family communication involves two dimensions: the level of conversation and the level of conformity.

Communication is the key to maintaining any type of relationships. When it comes to family communication, different types can be helpful and others can be harmful. For a more positive family with less stress, the best type of family to be is a "pluralistic family"

  • Conversation is characterized by frequent, spontaneous and unconstrained interactions about any topic or idea.
  • Conformity is characterized by the uniformity of beliefs and attitudes as led by family hierarchy or authority roles.
