Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of dysfunctional family dynamics on the overall personal well-being of young women, with a focus on understanding how family dysfunction might shape their emotional and psychological health. For the sample 150 young university women were taken. Participants completed assessments measuring family functioning (Total APGAR Score) and personal well-being (Personal Wellbeing Index, PWI). The analysis revealed no significant relationship between dysfunctional family dynamics and personal well-being. While family dysfunction was perceived to be present, it did not significantly predict the well-being of the participants. These findings suggest that dysfunctional family dynamics may not have a direct or significant impact on the personal well-being of young women, as initially hypothesized. Other factors, such as personal resilience and external support systems, may play a more prominent role in shaping emotional health.
