Introduction
“Over and above its most pressing problem and its peremptory necessities, the family
is a ’center of love’, where the law of respect and communication reigns and is able to
resist the pressure of manipulation and domination from the world’s power centers’’ (Pope
Francis 2020). As a global family, the COVID-19 pandemic provides us with a great
challenge. The dream-like family we assume everyone has, in which family members
have kind, supportive, and enduring relationships, is now all around us. Our headlines tell
us that family members are sharing time together before isolation.
Although the “imagined” family is widely assumed to be the norm, family
relationships look and function in different ways. While the majority are characterized by
contact and support, there are those which are distant, unsupported, disappointing and
dangerous (Blake, 2017). We know that when parents, children, and siblings are under
one roof, many will experience psychological, emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse,
with child maltreatment being a global, widespread phenomenon. We can acknowledge
the idea that "family" doesn’t always refer to people who are related by blood or genes or
shared residency. We can embrace the idea that family is about love, which doesn’t have
to be limited to a rare few but can be extended broadly and expansively to many. The
Covid -19 pandemic has reshaped our personal relationships in unprecedented ways,
forcing us to live closer together with some people and further apart from others. Life in
1
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
lockdown has necessitated close, constant contact with our families, but social distancing
measures have isolated us from our friends and wider communities.
The purpose of this study is to present us an insight about the relationship of each
family during this pandemic. Furthermore, is to identify the changes happened, in terms
of physiology, psychology, and overall well-being of each family member. Lastly, is to gain
knowledge on how the pandemic affected the family members and how they cope up with
it together.
Background of the study
The social distancing rules enforced during the pandemic have seen families
spending long periods of time together, often in close quarters. Accounts from across
the world show us not all families have adjusted well. China reported an increase in the
number of married couples filing for divorce. Worryingly, it is also because of the
domestic abuse. Long periods of close contact can possibly cause of tress which
intensified negative relationship behavior and dissatisfaction, particularly for people with
existing personal vulnerabilities.
The changes associated with social distancing rules, such as working from home
and supervising home schooling, are additional stress for the people. These too are
likely to have exacerbated personal vulnerabilities and destructive relationship
behaviors for some families. Some vulnerable families may be able to keep them
2
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
relationship stable, provided that the stress of social isolation that supports are in place
to minimize stress.
However, many may encounter problems if difficulty increase (for example, one
partner suddenly loses their job) or supports are removed (such as from friends or
family). Similarly, some of them may cope well with the challenges of social restriction
and other COVID-19 hardships. But, if the difficulty become too great, they're likely to
experience declines in relationship satisfaction.
The (COVID- 19) is profoundly affecting life around the globe. Living through a
pandemic is stressful and is related to feelings of uncertainty. When people are confined
to a shared space and spending more time than usual with others (e.g. roommates,
family members, romantic partners), conflicts and tension are inevitable. Isolation,
contact restrictions and economic shutdown impose a complete change to the psycho
social environment in affected countries. Even though the current crisis can bring with
its opportunities for personal growth and family cohesion, disadvantages may outweigh
these benefits. Anxiety, lack of peer contact and reduced opportunities for stress
regulation are main concerns. Another main threat is an increased risk for parental
mental illness, domestic violence and child maltreatment. Especially for children and
adolescents with special needs or disadvantages, such as disabilities, trauma
experiences, already existing mental health problems, migrant background and low
socioeconomic status, this may be a particularly challenging time (Karantzas 2020).

Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
It profoundly altered people’s daily lives and created multiple challenges. One important
challenge of this is maintaining well-functioning relationships with family, which are
inextricably tied to emotional and physical health. Yet research on Family relationships
shows that stress such as economic hardship, demanding jobs, and disasters can
threaten the quality and stability of family’s relationship. For many of us, being a
homebody is now mandatory. To contain the spread of corona-virus, many states have
issued stay-at-home orders for the foreseeable future. That means many families are
spending more time together than they normally do.
All that togetherness can present challenges, particularly because everyone is
confined and in close quarters with each other. But there’s plenty we can do to make the
most of family time together. Considering that family bonding is an investment in
everyone’s health. One study found that having strong social bonds was as important to
long-term health as healthy eating and exercise. Here are some ways that strengthen
those bonds, right at home. With everyone at home, there are surely plenty of chores to
be done. Come together as a family to divvy up the dish washing, vacuuming and
sanitizing. Doing chores together can strengthen family bonds. Making and sharing meals
together. The benefits of family meals are significant, and include not only opportunities
for bonding but also a lower risk of obesity and more nutritious food choices. While it’s
important every day, eating healthy is especially important now to stay healthy.
Scheduling an evening (or several) to do puzzles, play board or card games, or watch
movies as a family. If it is possible to get outside, taking a family a walk (take the dog for
4

some the needed exercise too), bike ride or spend a few minutes on our own just
breathing and gathering our thoughts (Coronavirus Pandemic: How to make the Most of
Family Time at Home 2020).
Social media is filled with jokes about the spikes in divorce following quarantine,
and there is some evidence that this time might ‘make or break’ families. Being stuck at
home creates opportunities for people to get on each other’s nerve, especially since we
often take out our frustrations on the ones we love. Many families will also be facing
additional challenges that are very stressful, such as loss of income or trying to manage
additional childcare. This increase stress provides a breeding ground for conflict and
depletes out ability to manage conflict effectively.

Statement of the Problem
This study sought to determine the advantages and disadvantages in the
relationship of each family member during the pandemic.
To perceive a clear understanding of the problem, the following inquiry was taken
into account:
1. Demographic Profile
1.1 Age
1.2 Role in the family
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of family during
pandemic?
3. In what ways does it affects the relationship between parents and children?
Research Objectives:
1. To know what are the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of family
during pandemic.
2. To know what ways does it affects the relationship between parents and children.

Scopes and Delimitations
This study was delimited on determining the advantages and disadvantages in the
relationship of each family member during the pandemic. The researchers will choose 5
children and 5 parents, a total of ten (10) respondents. The respondents of this study will
be the colleague of the researchers or someone they know who are capable to answer
differently from the other answer. This study only focused on family member which we
are all included. The data will be gathered through online survey questionnaire and online
interviewees.
Research Hypothesis
In this study, the researchers pre-suppose that considering the experiences of
each family member during pandemic it may be beneficial for the relationship of each
family member. As per Adhi, 2020 she stated that the lockdown due to the pandemic,
helped each member of the family to spend more time together, eat
breakfast/lunch/dinner together, and maximize the time being able to witness all the
activities at home.
However, some studies from Stockholm University suggests that staying at home
caused increment in home violence towards the children. Nevertheless, based from the
evidences and studies reviewed by the researchers, the researchers firmly assume that
the pandemic has opened various opportunities and might be possibly beneficial for all
the family members.

Significance of the Study
This study focuses on determining advantages and disadvantages in the
relationship of each family member during the pandemic. The findings of this study will
be beneficial to know the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of each family
member during the pandemic in every household.
This study will prove useful to the following entities:
Parents. This study would inform the parents regarding of the way they treat their
children in midst of crisis. They would be aware of the negative impacts of their treatment
and will know how to give proper guidance and support which their children could use as
motivation to continue studying at home.
Children. This study would empower children, as this will serve as an “eye-opener” to
them. This can inform them about the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship
of each family member
during the pandemic. It will also provide awareness and inspiration to all the students
regarding the effects of the pandemic in every household.
School. This study would enlighten the teacher regarding the advantages and
disadvantages in the relationship of each family member during the pandemic, specifically
on their academic role. It would be a way to enlighten teachers upon considering the
experience of students studying in their home.

Future Researchers. This study would be a source of information for them to have new
ideas based on the result of the study if they plan to make a research with connection to
relationship of each family member in midst of pandemic. It can also be considered as a
related study to support their statements as they handle researches similar to this topic.
Administration. This study would enable government officials to see the problems every
families faces in midst of pandemic. It would also enlighten them on where to focus more,
where to invest funds to.

Chapter II
Review of Related Literature
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of previous research on knowledge sharing and
intranets. The researchers have consulted a number of related literature and studies to
examine what are the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of each family
during pandemic.
1. Foreign Study
The following articles are derived from studies and composition paper of foreign
people that have significant information that can be helpful for this research study.
The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed families with little resources to try to preserve
work-family equilibrium. Parents are solely responsible for childcare and perhaps even
homeschooling, with schools and daycare facilities closed. However, many parents still
work from home in their paying jobs, while others have increased financial worries about
losing their employment, and still others involved in health care may live away from their
families in order to minimize their exposure to the virus. The closing of schools, and the
reliance on homeschooling, is likely to elevate inequality of opportunity. Long holidays are
10
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
perceived to be harmful to the success of children with a deprived background in
education (Campbell, 2015).
According to Van Lancker & Parolin, 2020, The present situation is not a holiday –
far from it – but we can learn from this research. In particular, it is what children do the
stimuli they receive, during periods away from school that help them to keep up or even
improve their skills. Families differ in what they can offer, in relation to factors such as
parental education, poverty, physical and psychological health, overcrowding, the
availability of computers and adequate internet access for participation in distance
learning (which must be made available to all children in the household) and parents who
speak the language in which they teach. Schools and early childhood education and care
provide children of all backgrounds with a more consistent learning experience,
sometimes offer meals, and monitor not only the performance of children, but also
significant aspects of their health and well-being.
In the Global South, where families with access to private schooling would benefit
more than families relying on public schooling, where the transition to technology-assisted
learning is more complicated, educational differences are much more pronounced
(Graham, 2020).
11

It should also be remembered that the family' is not always a safe spot, or the
home'. This is also not recorded by women who are victims of intimate relationship abuse
due to shame, but these women may now be locked up with their perpetrators. Dutch
Volkskrant newspaper describes how (presumably by her partner) a teacher was
physically assaulted when she was video conferencing with her class. This is just one
poignant instance of how aggression and harassment proceed (Kumar & Casey; De
Zwaan 2020).
Lockdown helped family members eat together, stay together, stay together. It also
produces many stressful circumstances in family life that lead to tension and agony,
spending full time physically experiencing each other's pain and enjoyment (Itishree
Padhi, 2020).
2. Foreign Literature
The following articles derived from foreign theories and this will help explain the
nature of this research. This can also help to provide significant information about this
research study.
Christie Allen, 2020 stated that in the tumult of 2020 America—the pandemic, the
protests, the presidential election—BYU political scientists have spotted some good
news. On average, American families have shown strength despite the year's challenges,
according to results from the annual American Family Survey. Of the 3,000 respondents,
more than half (56%) reported that they appreciate their spouse more because of the
12
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
pandemic. This year, 80% of parents said that parenting is very important to their sense
of identity, compared to 71% in 2018. "COVID doesn't seem to have affected family life
on average as much as you might think," said BYU professor Jeremy Pope, who co-led
the study with colleague Christopher Karpowitz. "Families are not uniformly hurting—in
fact, overall people have shown themselves to be fairly resilient. “While many of the
findings about families were positive and showed continuity from past years, Pope was
also quick to emphasize that those aggregate numbers don't represent the experience of
every family. “When you have multiple stressors on your life, such as economic or
relationship distress," Pope explained, "you become much more likely to have
experienced trouble from corona virus."
The 6th annual survey of 3,000 American adults reveals the starkly different
concerns of Republican and Democratic families in this age of racial tension, polarization
and a pandemic. It was administered online by YouGov, fielded from July 3 to July 13,
and the margin of error is ±1.9%.“While many Americans answer a number of questions
on race, politics, and the pandemic along ideological lines, there is some overlap on
questions about the role of government, and there is also a silver lining to the pain of the
pandemic,” said Boyd Matheson, Deseret News Opinion Editor. “Most notably, American
families have revealed that despite the turmoil of this year, they are resilient. The
pandemic is not destroying American families. In fact, it’s making them stronger. More
13
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
than half (56%) of those surveyed have said the pandemic has made spouses appreciate
their partner more. Only 1 in 10 disagreed.” That’s good news for a nation facing one
obstacle after another,” added Deseret News editor Doug Wilks. “Strong families are
upstream from a healthy, vibrant, and civilized society. And that gives me hope — despite
disagreements on how to solve the challenges in front of us — that America will get
through this.”47% of Americans say the pandemic actually deepened their commitment
to their relationship with their spouse or partner, and only 9% disagree. And only 13% of
those surveyed say the pandemic made them question the strength of their
relationship.88% of parents restricted their children’s in-person interactions to help keep
them safe during the COVID-19 pandemic (Deseret News PR 2020).

Chapter III
Methodology
This chapter presents the outline of research methodologies that were employed
in this study. It provides information about the respondents, of how they were sampled in
the study. The researchers described the chosen research design, its purpose and why
it was chosen for this study. The research instrument that was used for this data was also
described, as well as the procedures. This chapter includes the research design, research
instrument, respondents of the study, data gathering procedure, and data analysis.
The purpose of this chapter is to explain in details the research methods and the
methodology implemented in this study. This chapter will explain the choice of research
approach, research design, as well the advantages and disadvantages of research tools
chosen. This will be followed by a discussion on their ability to produce valid results,
meeting the aims, and objectives by this dissertation. This chapter discusses the sample
size and sampling strategy applied by the author, and the data analysis used.
15
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
Research Design
The researchers used online survey method in the study of advantages and
disadvantages in the relationship of each family during pandemic.
The researchers collected primary data using online survey to the chosen
participants. There are 5 children and 5 parents, total of 10 respondents. The selected
respondents were chosen from their close friends in social media. The researchers simply
described the participants perceptions, experiences and answers.
This study will analyze the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of
each family during pandemic. It is important to analyze for us to know the happenings in
each and every family relationship amidst pandemic. We will do the research by
conducting an online survey.
Respondents
The respondents of this study were the colleague of the researchers. The
researchers gathered (10) respondents, 5 children and 5 parents. As the respondents of
the questionnaires that were chosen according to what they have experience in this
pandemic.
16
Telephone No.: (046) 412-2664
Research Instrument
In gathering much beneficial and relative evaluation, questionnaire is chosen as
the data collection instrument. The questionnaire was based on the statement of the
problem. In addition, this was based on some professional literature, published and
unpublished thesis, and other relevant studies. The requirements in designing a good
data collection instrument were also considered. Most of the questions are designed in a
open-ended option that can be answered based on their experience in the midst of
pandemic and this leads for researchers to gather comprehensive information in a short
period of time. Using this kind of questions will make the respondents easy to analyze the
problems that were being asked. Open-ended questions can be more specific, thus more
likely to communicate similar meanings.
Preference for the use of this questionnaire as the instrument was being used
because it is one of the least expensive means of gathering data and it also lessens the
pressure for giving immediate responses. The questionnaire was made consisting
questions that would respect the privacy of the people that has been asked. The
implications of the adult child and parent relationship for adult mental health has been
relatively neglected in the adult psychopathology literature. The Parent Adult-Child
Relationship Questionnaire (PACQ) was developed out of a need to identify key themes
in this filial relationship, and construct a valid measure for its assessment, that is simple
to administer and score.

Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers took the following ways in gathering the needed in the study:
Phase I. The researchers stumbled upon with the study through brainstorming and
observing points regarding the Advantages and Disadvantages in the relationships of
each family during pandemic. The approval of the title was last 8th of October 2020.
Phase II. The researchers started this study on the first week of November (November 2,
2020). They have prepared the sample instruments to be used for gathering information.
Phase III. The researchers concluded the study by using online survey questionnaire that
was conducted by the researchers as a tool for gathering evidences and data. The online
survey questionnaire consists of different opinion about the advantages and
disadvantages in the relationship on each family member during the pandemic that can
be answer by saying their experiences in their house during this pandemic. The tools for
data gathering were in English as related to the fulfillment of the study and to aid the
participants in answering it.
Phase IV. The gathered data were analyzed and evaluated through the feedback and
response of each family member who participated in the given online survey
questionnaires in the 3rd week of November. A Matrix Analysis was prepared to present
the gathered data in this study.

Conclusion and Recommendation
The result shows that the advantages in the relationship of families during pandemic
has been beneficial for many. Based on the results that we have gathered, most of the
respondents said that despite of the lockdown and the pandemic, they still enjoyed and
actually strengthened the relationship with their loved ones, families, and their relatives.
One of the respondents stated that their relationship with each other grew stronger
because they can express their own struggles and they have a whole day to spend time
together as a family. According to Coronavirus Pandemic: How to Make the Most of
Family Time at Home 2020, "Doing household chores, making and eating meals together
can strengthen family bonds." In addition, results of families having healthier connections
to each other have been visible to many. The Coronavirus, though gruesome, has brought
advantages within households. As stated by Murat Sofuoglu (2020), "In this process, I
believe, unity and solidarity among families will be consolidated." Truly, the pandemic
brought advantages by strengthening relationships.
In contrast, the disadvantages in this study shows that other families are struggling
during the pandemic. The result gave us knowledge that the children and women are
most affected in this kind of situation because some of families are experiencing
maltreatment from their partners. According to Karantzas, (2020) “This disadvantage may

outweigh these benefits such as increased risk for parental mental illness, domestic
violence, and child maltreatment. Especially for the children and with special needs or
disadvantages, just as trauma experiences, already existing mental health problems,
migrant background and low socioeconomic status. Domestic violence has grown and
increased during the pandemic. With that, it is truthful to claim that some families have
faced the disadvantages of being in a pandemic.
The researchers therefore recommend to put more time to connect with each
member of the family. The research confirms that the pandemic brought advantages by
strengthening relationships, although some families found that the pandemic is beneficial,
some families found it unfavorable, few of them are experiencing maltreatment from each
other. It would be Good if each family member took extra care, love and understanding
when it comes to how they treat each one of them.
The researchers recommend teachers to observe their students’ behaviors. Help
students to express their problems or struggles during the pandemic. By knowing what
their students’ problems and concerns, the teachers could help and provide better advice
for their students.
For the students, the researchers recommend that they should be vocal with their
emotions. Allow themselves to be heard and be open with the opinions of your relatives
or family members.

For the future researchers who will be encountering the same research to broaden
their study about the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship of each family
member during the pandemic. This study would help them to gather more information.
