Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to assess the infl uence of family relationships on two central aspects of individual functioning: social competence and quality of life in a sample of 103 Colombian adolescents and young adults. Results revealed different signifi cant associations for men and women between the study variables (relationships with parents and sibling, quality of life and social competence). Results are discussed based on the literature on differential effects of family relationships on adolescents' and young adults' psychological and social well-being.
