My main interest of topic for this survey project is family. I am interested in exploring and understanding the typical family household’s structure and formation In addition, I want to research how a child or teenager’s upbringing is a crucial stage of development where they are the most sensitive and adaptive to changes and influences. This survey will measure how UBC students rate their overall family environment based on several factors and their opinions on whether they believe they were living in a positive or negative environment during their high school years (ages 13-18).

Adding on, I expect that if individuals were left home alone frequently, then their perspective of their own family environment would be negative. This can be predicted with the idea of parent negligence.
Lastly, for the topic of interest, it is assumed that if individuals had a perception of a positive or somewhat positive family environment, then there is a greater chance that he or she will prefer to live with others in the future regardless if it will be family members, spouse, friends, or roommates. Vice versa, if one had a somewhat negative or negative outlook of their family environment, then it is likely that he or she will have a preference to live alone in the future instead with other
