A second objective was to determine whether ten demographic variables: age, gender, type of parental marriage, family type, parental socioeconomic status, religiosity, maternal employment, number of siblings, familial decision-making patterns, and parental marital satisfaction were related to perceived family strengths. A third objective was to determine if the six factors identified as strengths in an American sample when using the Family Strengths Inventory were the same in the Indian sample. Results indicated that three demographic variables were significantly related to family strengths: gender, type of parental marriage, and familial decision-making patterns. Factor analyses showed that five factors explained 40% of the variance in FSI scores for the Indian sample. Implications for studying Indian family strengths using the Family Strengths Inventory are discussed.
