In this study, the authors adopt a multigenerational family devlopment framework to examine the reationship between family system differentiation college students’psychosocial development. 407 college students completed the Differentiation in the Family System Scale (DIFS) and the Psychosocial Development scale (PDS). Peearson-correlation and mulitple regressions were conducted to examine the association among four subsystems' differentiation levels and seven psychosocial development dimensions. Results indicate that all but Autonomy and Integrity in PDS are significantly correlated with four subsystem scores in DIFS. Generally speaking, people who come from well differentiated families are better adjusted psychos也ially than those from poorly differentiated families. The idea that family system differentiation can predict college student’s development was supported, especially in the male sample. We also found gender differences regarding the pattern that family influenes the individual development. Finally, conclusions were made and suggestions were proposed. We urge more researchers to conduct indigenous studies integrating Chinese culture. And family systems oriented counseling is encouraged in college settings.
