In-law relationships in the American kinship system
This paper reports on in-law relationships in middle-class kinship systems in which grandparents, divorcing parents and their children were studied longitudinally. The analysis first includes the definitions and meanings individuals assign to in-law relationships during the processes of divorce and remarriage. Second, the structure and organization of the family and kinship system are mapped as they change with marital change. The patterns of cle…

The Impact of Illness on Late-Life Marriages
This paper reports on 76 late-life marriages in which either a husband or a wife is recuperating from a hospital stay. High satisfaction was found in most of the marriages, and spouses generally provided a high level of support.

However, compared with the…

Interaction Rules and Ethnicity
The concept of ethnicity has traditionally embraced varying custom, structures, languages, attitudes, histories, and ideologies. More recently, ethnic identification has been studied as it sets boundaries between diverse subcultures. This report examines ethnicity as a function of distinctive interaction rules in encounters both within and outside the Japanese American community in Hawaii. Cost and reward criteria derived from exchange theory are…
Gift giving and reciprocity among the Japanese Americans in Honolulu1
Gift-giving practices of the Japanese Americans in Honolulu have been analyzed within the framework of the reciprocity norm. This system of balanced reciprocity requires that specified amounts of money be given at important events in the life cycle. It is concluded that reciprocity serves important social functions by facilitating status placement, providing generational continuities, reducing conflict, and equalizing class differences
