| description | Parental infidelity largely influences the quality of relationships in the family. In previous
researches, the focus is mainly on the dyadic marital relationship of the couples, subsequently
failing to consider how this influences the upbringing and well-being of their children. This
study aims to explore how adult Filipino children's discovery of parental infidelity impacted
their self-concept. Using purposive sampling, the study involved fourteen (14) participants,
seven males, and seven females, who were aware of their parent's infidelity. The research used
a semi-structured interview schedule to gather the necessary data. Thematic analysis was used
to categorize the data into two major themes: (a) Pre-infidelity Family Dynamics and (b)
Impacts of Parental Infidelity. The research utilized Dr. Murray Bowen's Family Systems
Theory and Self-Concept Theory by Rogers to analyse the themes and to discuss the results of
the study. The research helps explain the differences in the impacts of parental infidelity on the
family and on the self-concept. Further implications are discussed in the study. |
