They also convinced us that there is a more basic issue, which has implications for how we should deal with the identity problem. In this paper, therefore, we deal first with the more basic concern, then with the identity questions, and finally with some proposed solutions. The more basic issue is whether the family field is a bona f…

Beyond the Beyond
Thomas B Holman, Wesley R BurrARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1980Citada por: 7
The decade of 1970s was a period of rapid development in family theory. Our review shows methodological developments, primitive theory building, and improved technology of previous decades led to a virtual explosion in interest in, and deveiopment of, Jamily theory. Broderick (1971)felt we had moved beyond Hill and Hansen's (1960) five conceptual framework in 1960s; in 1970s we moved beyond the beyond. We view only symbolic interaction theory, ex…

principles to specific situations by providing practice in moving between the concrete and the abstract. This is a useful finding, as it can help functional courses be more actually functional-helping students see how knowledge is relevant to everyday life. It suggests that it can be worthwhile to spend effort and time in preparing and implementing such practice. The study suggests that this type of practice does not, however, necessarily produce…
A Principles Approach in Family Life Education
Wesley R Burr, Margaret Rae Jensen et al.ARTICLEThe Family Coordinator1977
A principles approach in family life education is presented and its advantages described. The principles approach emphasizes 3 learning objectives: 1) learning general principles 2) learning how to apply principles in specific situations and 3) learning skills to implement the principles in everyday life. General principles are declarative statements that show how 2 or more general vaiables are interrelated. These statements are lawlike occurring…
An Empirical Test of Rodman's Theory of Resources in Cultural Context
Wesley R Burr, Louise Ahern et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1977Citada por: 6
Retrospective data were gathered from 1056 college students to test several of the propositions in Rodman 's theory that norms and resources operate in a cultural context in influencing the relative power of spouses. It was found that the normative dimension accounted for considerable variance in conjugal power and that relative resources accounted for very little. The data did not support Rodman's speculation that resources are more strongly rel…

Satisfaction with Various Aspects of Marriage over the Life Cycle
Wesley R BurrARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1970Citada por: 16
In an attempt to attain greater conceptual clarity than is permitted with the traditional omnibus terms of marital adjustment, integration, etc., six more specific areas of marital experience are identified. The research investigates how subjective satisfaction with each of these areas varies over the life cycle. Contrary to earlier findings, the school-age stage is found to be the most difficult. Satisfaction in relationships with children remai…

Role Transitions
Wesley R BurrARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1972Citada por: 5
Several theoretical ideas in role theory are integrated with the empirical literature that has investigated such role transitions as adjusting to the coming of the first child, retirement, bereavement, etc. This analysis is an attempt to build theory by identifying and reworking propositions that are sufficiently general and precisely stated that they can be used as a basis for deductively explaining why variation occurs in the ease of making var…

An Expansion and Test of a Role Theory of Marital Satisfaction
Wesley R BurrARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1971Citada por: 3
The proposition that discrepancies between role expectations and role behavior influence marital satisfaction is expanded by proposing that the effect that discrepancies have is mediated by the subjectively perceived importance of the various discrepancies. An attempt is then made to see if by taking this contingent variable into account, it is possible to explain additional variance in marital satisfaction. It is found that even though the impor…

There are several other changes that could probably be made to spread out the metatheoretical phase and integrate the analytical phase with it. The first section of the workshop could include brief sections on (1) different types of theory and (2) the components of theory before the abstracting exercise. The aspects of theory that would probably be necessary in the secti…
