<![CDATA[Family consumption patterns are an overview of how households meet their daily living needs based on the resources they have. Differences in consumption patterns between families are influenced by various factors, especially income levels and the number of family members. This also applies to the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) family which generally has the characteristics of a relatively fixed income. Therefore, income and the number of family members are important variables in explaining the variation in consumption patterns of ASN families. This study aims to analyze the influence of income and the number of family members on the family consumption patterns of State Civil Apparatus (ASN). This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through a closed questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 65 ASN respondents who worked within the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bengkulu Province. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis supported by instrument validity and reliability tests, partial tests (t test), simultaneous tests (F tests), and determination coefficient analysis (R²). The results of the study showed that partially the income variable had a significant effect on the consumption pattern of ASN families with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, which shows that income has an influence on consumption. Meanwhile, the number of family members had no significant effect on consumption patterns with a significance value of 0.915 > 0.05. However, simultaneously income and the number of family members have a significant effect on the consumption pattern of ASN families with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The determination coefficient value of 0.962 shows that 92.6% of the variation in the consumption pattern of ASN families can be explained by income and the number of family members. This research was analyzed using Talcott Parsons' functional structural theory, especially the concept of AGIL (Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency). Income is seen as the family's main resource in carrying out the function of adapting to life needs, while consumption patterns reflect the family's efforts in achieving welfare, maintaining family integration, and maintaining financial values and management patterns. Thus, the consumption of ASN families is not only an economic activity, but also part of the social mechanism in maintaining family balance and stability as a social system.]]>
