Resumen
We compared perception of family functioning in a sample (N = 1,496) of Aymara and non-
Aymara parents and children living in Arica, Chile. The children were aged from 9 to 15 years
and were recruited from the 5th to 8th grades of 9 elementary schools (4 public, 5 governmentsubsidized
private schools) serving lower socioeconomic areas. Participants completed the
Family Functioning Test (FF-SIL), which consists of 14 events or characteristics that may occur
in a family. The results showed that parents and children from the Aymara group recorded lower
scores for their perception of family functioning than did the non-Aymara group. Addressing this
issue may be important in the prevention of psychological problems in these families.
