คำสำคัญ:
Family structure, child development, Thai culture, parenting styles, psychological well-beingบทคัดย่อ
This study explores the influence of family structure on child development within Thai cultural contexts, focusing on the psychological, emotional, and social dimensions. It examines the impact of diverse family types—nuclear, extended, single-parent, and blended—on children's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. Utilizing frameworks like systems theory and attachment theory, the research underscores how cultural norms, parenting styles, and socio-economic factors shape child development. By investigating traditional Thai values, modern family dynamics, and the role of gender and Buddhism, the paper highlights the complex interplay between family environment and developmental outcomes. The findings provide insights for policymakers and practitioners to design culturally sensitive interventions that foster healthy child growth.
