Найбільш прогнозовано відчувають вплив родинної депривації діти, які виховуються поза родиною. На відміну від дітей-сиріт, категорія, яка не входять в сферу впливу родинної депривації – діти з повних функціональних сімей. Умовно кажучи, між двома цими полюсами знаходяться діти з родин трудових мігрантів (Петренко, 2002).

Одним із наслідків відсутності батьків є викривлення та затримка розвитку уявлень про свою майбутню родину. Несформованість сімейних уявлень означає психологічну неготовність до створення сім’ї, що в свою чергу, призведе до багатьох негативних наслідків у подружніх та батьківсько-дитячих відносин у майбутньому (Педагогічна психологія, 2009).
