These effects which the research attempts to study are found in the everyday lives of the Malaysian families such as family bonds, family satisfactions, identities, attitudes, norms, conjugal relations, parent and child relations and the family's support network. A total of 1,200 respondents consisting of males and females, aged 18 years and above living in and around Kuala Lumpur and within the Klang Valley had been selected for the survey. |
