What are all of the societal factors involved, for each family member? How might these societal factors influence family dynamics? How might these societal factors influence the psychological or biological systems with which they are involved
The societal system includes social roles, social support, culture, media, leadership styles, communication patterns, family organization, ethnic and sub-cultural influences, political ideologies and government, religions, patterns of economic prosperity or poverty, conditions of war and peace, and exposure to racism, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination, intolerance, or inter-group hostility. ( Lundahl & Hall, p. 126, 2014)
In this family, parental substance abuse is a factor. Substance abuse is associated with higher incidence of referral to protective services, and behaviors such as hyperactivity and acting out. According to the author, many emotional and mental health problems are influenced by poverty and financial insecurity. These include substance abuse, depression, and family conflict. Each issue alone is sufficient to contribute to individual behavior, but two or more tends to be even more troublesome. (Lundahl & Hall, 2014)
Another societal factor is the socioeconomic status. For each family member, their SES can affect access to resources, opportunities, and the stress levels they experience. A low SES may lead to financial strain and limited access to quality education and healthcare, impacting both physical and mental health. The mother’s unemployment, fathers’ underemployment and Joe must work a part time job
Another societal factor is education. Education levels can affect family dynamics. Higher education might lead to greater career opportunities and financial stability, while lower educational attainment may result in job insecurity and limited income. Joe’s issues at school, his parent’s lack of higher education detrimentally impacts the family and the potential for leaving their situation. The educational factor along with employment issues such as the nature of employment, job stability, working conditions, and income, can impact the family’s overall well-being and stress levels. The father underemployment, mother’s unemployment working hours, irregular schedules, can strain family relationships.
The kind of neighborhood and community plus access to healthcare are societal factors can influence safety, social support networks, and access to services. A supportive community can enhance family well-being, while living in a high-crime area or lacking social connections can lead to stress. The availability and affordability of healthcare services can significantly affect physical and mental health. Lack of access to healthcare or insurance can lead to unmet medical needs and increased stress.
Involvement with the legal system, such as juvenile detention or legal disputes, can have effects on family dynamics and the psychological well-being of family members. Joe’s theft at work leading to juvenile detention will have an impact on his mother’s mental and physical well being. It may also lead to further substance abuse by his father. It may also affect the mental health of all family members.
The interplay of these societal factors can lead to financial stress due to low SES may lead to conflicts about money, these societal factors can also influence psychological and biological systems. Chronic stressors, such as those related to SES or discrimination, can lead to increased cortisol levels, affecting physical health. Ultimately, family dynamics and social support can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health and emotional well-being.
