Couple Dynamics and Child Abuse
Most research on child abuse has been based on clinical studies, self-reports, survey data, or official records. This paper reports on behavioral research. A group of couples where child abuse had occurred were compared with a matched comparison group of nonabusing couples. All couples were interviewed in their homes where they completed an exercise involving a discussion of opinion differences. The discussion was taped and then coded on system v…
Positive Relationships That Support Elder Health and Well-Being Are Grounded in Midlife/Adolescent Family
Family is potentially a major support system for people of all ages. It can become particularly important for elders. On the basis of a 25-year longitudinal study, this article explores the contributions of family system functioning at parents' midlife to elderly parents' physical and mental health. Findings support the significant influence of the quality of the midlife/adolescent family life cycle stage on later life relationships between elder…

The Experience of Family in Japan and the United States
Social scientists involved on cross-cultural research face a variety of challenges. This issue is discussed in the context of emic and etic approaches to research. A project illustrating some of these challenges is presented. A projective measure completed by each family as a group was used to capture the experience of family in Japanese and American families. Some culturebased hypotheses were confirmed, and an interesting serendipitous finding w…
Japanese and U.S. Marriage Experiences
Structured home interviews with 99 U.S. and 60 Japanese families included a projective exercise in which families made pictures of the family. The marital relationship, as presented in that picture, was compared for the two samples. The data can be summarized with two overarching themes: similarity and tradition. A number of themes were similar for families in both cultures: the tendency to see the parents/mates as a unit, and to see them as clos…
Isolated Housewives and Complex Maternal Worlds - The Significance of Social Contacts between Women with Young Children in Industrial Societies
This article reconsiders the picture of the mother of young children in industrialised societies as the 'isolated housewife', suggesting this notion is by no means straightforward. We suggest there is considerable evidence for the existence of mothers' social contacts and their significance both as 'work' and 'friendship' in industrial societies. A pre-occupation with the notion of the 'isolation' of 'housewives' has led social researchers to neg…
