Resumen:
Despite its socioeconomic status, Latin America reports high levels of
life and family satisfaction. The article provides a relational approach
to address that apparent contradiction. Considering three countries
(Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia) in an aggregated form, we find that
family satisfaction is strongly associated with the quality of their
internal relationships. Affection, communication, frequency of contacts
and mutual support define a kind of links that we call personal based
interpersonal relationships. These relationships are predictors which
have a higher weight in family satisfaction than socioeconomic
variables, such as income, social class or education.
