(parents' education, family income and at-home attitudes), to the exclusion of other
family characteristics that also affect the behavior of the students in schools.
There are many factors in family background that affect the student’s personal
behaviors; one of it is economic stability. Poverty can affect school readiness in several
nutrition and poor role-modeling. According to a 2007 article titled "The Impact of
Poverty on Educational Outcomes for Children" in the journal "Pediatric Child Health,"
studies show that children from impoverished families tend to score lower in
conducted by the Society for Research in Child Development also found that children
from low-income families received less positive parenting and had higher levels of
cortisol, which has been associated with lower levels of cognitive development. Another
factor is changes in family relationships. Divorce has long been linked to behavior
problems, anxiety and depression in children. From home to school, children carry with
their own feelings of depression and anxiety that affects their personal behavior while
interacting and communicating with their co-students and teachers. Also, because of
these factors students may carry challenging behavior like withdrawn behaviors,
behaviors.
At the end of this, we the researchers , aim to conceptualize the data gathered
about the effects of family background to the personal attitude of the students in
Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School. This study motivates the researcher
to conduct the study to investigate the domains that could influence the personal
attitude of students. It will be in this context that the researchers are interested to
determine whether the family background will influence the personal attitude of
students.
Hypothesis
Personal Attitude.
There will be no doubts that the position of a person or group (e.g ., family) in
different opportunities in society . For example , belonging to a specific social class and
factors provide important perception about the resources associated with educational
the students’ family background involves the students themselves , their parents or
family ( relations and attitudes ) and other people connected to the students . (May ,

Family background plays a very big task on the child or student’s life. It also
refers to all the things, values, conditions in the family which influences the child or
and variations and that is the reason why some of the students have good family
background while others are poor. Some researchers noted that with some families, the
background will differ from time to time for the same individuals. Also it was stated that it
is the parents who are primarily responsible for establishing the family and make control
over it, also parents are responsible for the type of family background they got. This
means that parental attitudes and behaviors are very important in developing healthy
family background and is possible when parents adapt to the culturally defines roles and
examine and identified. And many factors in the family, community, school contexts that
develop their well being. One element of a family is a family structure that talks about
the structure of a certain family whether or not the parents live together, parents are
either married or unmarried. Family size, how many members within the family being
identified as small , moderate, and large families. Family instability thus has a dominant
effect on family size, particularly at lower levels of socioeconomic status. Family size is
word family background is literally confusing because it is used by diverse people refer
to very different things in the world. Thus, some people use this term to refer the ways
of how families works within their homes or in the community, while other use it to refer
of a certain social group consisting of parents and their children with the factors of
family socioeconomic status, parental attitudes and other family characteristics. This is
pleasantly straightforward but the shapes and structures of some families nowadays are
fastly evolving and changing. Many important factors contributing to the diversity of
family background in some countries are cohabitation rates, parent’s relation ( marriage
or divorce patterns), parental occupational status, conception rates, age and also ethnic
development of infants and adolescents. The concept of family background has been

changes. These evolutions might have repercutions in the family background as well as
in its functioning. As the time passes by, every person occupies a place within the family
and becomes central in the family. Family is a permeable system which is being

Since the world is changing over a period of time, also the family background
changes and has evolved together with the changes in the need and demands of the
individuals, family, and society that leads to the development of cultures and nations.
But, there are issues that surround the family background and maintenance like spousal

There are factors we can indicate the family background. One of it is the family financial
status or socioeconomic status, the money or financial that a family earns at a given
time and place and it can be form either weekly or monthly salary as well as returns got
from a job or business. Family size is the total number of members in the student’s
family in addition to the student himself. Family relationship refers to any positive or
negative impression or effect that families exercise with each other.( Muthoni, 2013)

couples and families, also, there are may signs of difficulties with parenting as well and
these have major consequences for psychological development and behavioral health.
Another very influential factor is attachment. One’s attachment style is associated with a
wide range of outcomes across the psychological, interpersonal, and social entities

Family system not only enables a person grow up, get socialized and find his/her
own identity, but also reflects the structure and culture as well as values, expectations
and rules of the society. Thus, family lays a bridge for the child to be a part of the
society and life. It is primarily the family who ensure that the individual is content with
life, fulfills his/her duties and comports with the societal norms. The experiences and
models that the family set for the child play an important role in developing positive
social behaviors and values. Family should function properly in order for the child to
evolve into a healthy individual. Family structure and place of resident are influential

Thus, there are strong relationship of personal values and behaviors toward cultural

A family is far more than a collection of individuals sharing a specific physical and
properties all on its own, one that has evolved a set of responsibilities, is replete with
assigned and ascribed roles for its members, has an organized power structure, has
improved intricate overt and covert forms of communication and has elaborated ways of
negotiating and problem solving that permit various tasks to be performed effectively. In
the process of growing up, family members develop individual identities but
nevertheless remain attached to the family group. These family members do not live in
isolation, but rather are interdependent on one another – not just for money, food and
shelter but also for love, affection, interdependence, socialization and other common
needs. A well functioning family encourages the realization of the individual potential of
its members, allowing them freedom for exploration and self – discovery along with
protection and the instillation of a sense of security. This may not be the case in a
family that experiences conflicts. A child’s attitudes, standards and values will slowly be
formed by what he learns from his or her parent thus parents should lead by example.
Parents need to spend more time with their children, to talk to them and show them
love. As a parent, one should help their children to learn from mistakes of others. In
today’s society, parents hardly spend any time with their children. Parents should find
time to listen to their children’s problems and difficulties. It was also indicated that when
children see that their parents love each other, they are assured that their parents love
them. He also asserted that parents should always tell their children the reason why
they have to beat them and praise their children more often than they punish them.
Researchers have found interdependence between depressed persons and their social
contexts. This is especially true in the case of parent’s depression and children’s

both of these two factors that underlie their relationships and their developmental
origins. This regards to the materials in students behavioral problems and how these
relationships are also being affected by contextual influences within the family,
relationships and other physical health, mental health and behavioral results for
students. Negative family relationships and experiences are associated with a such a
wide range of negative results for students and the notion that many of the students can
adapt directly in the face of severe diversity. Essentially, the children who can
appropriately control their responses to stress may be buffered from the negative
physical and mental health problems of negative family relationship. In contrast, the
children who display uncontrolled stress responses may be more like to be at risk for
