In this study, a total of 699 respondents from boarding schools and 438 juveniles were surveyed to ascertain the differences in their family communication pattern and institutional (teacher/ward) communication experience. Family communication and institutional communication were assessed using Ritchie and Fitzpatrick’s (1990) Revised Family Communication Pattern Scale (RFCP), a self report instrument designed to measure socio-oriented and concept-oriented dimensions.
