Abstract

The present study develops and explores the concept of discrepancy in dyads in the context of family cohesion and hierarchy. 62 children from a private school of Belo Horizonte were investigated. The participants gave information about the Father-Child, Mother-Child and Father-Mother Dyads using the Familiogram. The results, for the dimension of cohesion, usually indicate the same amount of resources, showing a pattern of low discrepancy. The only exception refers to boys in their mother-child relationship. Regarding hierarchy, a clear discrepant pattern was found for the Father-Child and Mother-Child Dyads, in which the parents represent a higher hierarchical position compared to their children. The results confirm, in general, the theoretical expectations and demonstrate the methodological utility of the concept of discrepancy in the evaluation of family systems.
