  • Themes and Threads of Family Theories: A Brief History

    Bert N AdamsARTICLEJournal of Comparative Family…2010Cited by: 8

    This paper provides the historical context for the ideas and issues that have been central to family theories for the past several decades. We begin with patriarchy and modernization (especially the removal of productive work from the home) in the 19th century. These theoretical variables are followed by functionalism and evolutionism in the mid-20th century, and then technology, globalism, and the demographic transition at the end of the 20th ce…

    Many changes are occurring in the world's families. Some observers feel that the changes are destructive, whereas others see them as leading to new opportunities and understanding. Issues in international family studies include regional limitations and the various aspects of doing research cross-culturally. Knowledge regarding certain categories of families, inheritance, and the social psychology of families is incomplete. There are, however, som…

  • Kikuyu Bridewealth and Polygyny Today

    Bert N Adams, Edward MburuguARTICLEJournal of Comparative Family…1994

    This study of the Kikuyu today looked at bridewealth and polygyny. The sample was about 300 30-40 year-olds, divided between residents of Nairobi and rural Kiambu. The families of almost all the male respondents had paid bridewealth at their marriages - ordinarily a combination of cash and livestock, and there was considerable complaint about cost. About one in six of the male respondents either were currently in polygynous relationships, or plan…

Hills contributions to family stress, developmental theory, theory development, and international family study are reviewed in some detail, along with briefer references to other areas in which he researched and wrote. The paper closes with a catalogue of later developments in the family field which he presaged; ofte…

  • The Family: Problems and Solutions

    Bert N AdamsARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1985Cited by: 2

    Coming across such a title, one would very likely expect to read about what is wrong with the family today and what should be done about it. That, however, is not the intention of this paper. Rather, I want to raise the issue of what is meant when the language of problems and solutions is used. The aim is to stimulate our thinking about the value-ladenness of the institution with which we deal as professionals. I organize this discussion under th…
