We used the Cohesion sub-scale of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACES II, Olson, Portner, & Lavee, 1985). We
used the Spanish version of FACES II. This is a Likert-type scale with 16 items ranging from 1 to 5 (“almost never” to “almost
always”) to analyse the degree of emotional bonding between family members. Sample items are: “Family members know
each other's close friends” and “Our family does things together”. A high score on the scale is thought to be indicative of
greater family cohesion. The Spanish version of FACES II and III has been validated and widely used with Spanish and South
American samples (Lopez, 2002; Martínez-Pampliega, Iraurgi, Galíndez, & Sanz, 2006). The scale's reliability for each of the
measuring times was as follows: Cronbach's alpha ¼ .69, .84, .87, and .89, in W1, W2, W3 and W4 respectively
