Role Balance Among White Married Couples
We generate models predicting wives' and husbands' feelings of overall balance across roles. Drawing on fine-grained data about marital lifestyles and time use, we find few predictors that are the same for both partners. Both report greater role balance when their level of parental attachment to children is higher and when their marital satisfaction is greater, but gendered time use gives rise to important differences. Wives report greater balanc…
Teasing Out the Lessons of the 1960s
The tumult of the 1960s brought new strains of cultural relativism. I survey the continuing impact of some of these strains on family studies, focusing especially on the study of family diversity as an offshoot of the relativistic project. A dominant discourse still drives much of our work, however, and I illustrate it with some recent examples. The diversity agenda is hampered too often by unintended erasures of large categories of people in non…
The Problem and Politics of Wholeness in Family Studies
Late last October, I went out put my garden bed for winter. It had been a good year. The only serious casualties were my eggplants, so stunted from invasions by tarnished plant bugs that they failed produce. Everything else thrived, and I felt blessed. But now it was time for final clean-up, and I began by pulling support cages off dead tomato plants and dissembling four-pole teepee I had erected for my pole beans climb. Then I chopped up dead co…
Multiple Roles and the Self
The literature on multiple roles and identities tends either to ignore strategies of role-system organization altogether or to assume that all people organize a salience hierarchy, through which they assign more importance to some roles and selves than to others. Drawing on our reading of William James and George Herbert Mead, we argue that the way people organize their roles and identities is an empirical issue, not an established fact, and that…
What Is a Pattern of Commitments
Intimacy in the Public Realm
This article reexamines the social ecology of intimacy and some meanings we assign to public and private. Historically, structural differentiation turns the home world into a segregated compartment of society, but it similarly structures the “public” realm. Intimate refuges may then arise throughout the differentiated social structure, as people intermingle in functionally specific settings to pursue their purposes, and as they find or create pri…

Three Corners
Multiple Roles and Role Strain
Sociologists generally invoke a natural approach to human energy, stressing the overdemanding nature of multiple roles. In contrast, a seldom used expansion approach provides an energy-creation theory of multiple roles rather than a spending or drain theory. Empirical literature only partially supports the scarcity approach view that multiple roles inevitably create strain. Moreover, human physiology implies that human activity produces as well a…

Durkheim's Theory of Anomie
This paper traces Durkheim's theory of anomie as it emerges and develops throughout his career . It is argued that the major development did not occur until after the publication of Suicide, notwith standing Durkheim's interpreters' persistence in treating Suicide as the final statement of this theory. It is also shown how Durkheim remained most comfortable dealing with microsociological levels of analysis, and how his growing recognition of anom…
