Introduction to the Special Issue: Theorizing Families
Conjugal Roles and Social Networks
Social networks, or the kin, friends, and other close associates of primary partners (e.g., spouses), can have an important influence on the internal character of an intimate relationship or marriage. Elizabeth Bott was among the first to recognize this connection in a study conducted in the early 1950s that involved interviews with 20 London families. In a now classic hypothesis she argued that the extent of the segregation in the role relations…

Relational support from friends and wives' family relationships: The role of husbands' interference
Informed by Marks's three corners model, this study explored the moderating role of husbands' relational interference in the link between relational support from close friends and wives' marital and family relationship quality. Using data from 52 wives rearing school-aged children, results from a hierarchical regression analysis suggested that husbands' interference moderates the association between support from close friends and both wives' mari…

Generative Uncle and Nephew Relationships
This study investigates generativity, or a concern for future generations, in the relationships between uncles and nephews. Using in-depth interviews, 21 uncles and 31 nephews were interviewed in Wellington, New Zealand and Bangor, Maine. Uncles describe themselves as supplements to parents, as friends, or as surrogate parents. Uncles act as mentors by providing nephews with advice and sometimes criticism. They act as intergenerational buffers an…

The Social Context of Couple Conflict: Support and Criticism from Informal Third Parties
This study investigates how informal third parties, such as friends and family members, may play a role in couple conflict as perceived supporters or critics of partners' conflicting positions. We examine who partners perceive to be supporters and critics and how beliefs about supporters and critics are related to partners' views of the conflict. In a sample of 98 dating couples, parents and close friends were equally likely to be perceived as cr…

Gender asymmetry in common couple violence
In companion studies I examine the acceptability of two forms of “common couple violence” that vary in seventy. According to Johnson (1995), common couple violence is enacted equally by both men and women, is therefore gender symmetrical, and can be distinguished from patriarchal terrorism, which often includes frequent and systematic violence enacted by men in the control and domination of women. The 160 randomly selected respondents in Study 1 …
Exploratory Study Marital Interdependence and Social Networks
In an exploratory study of 25 wives and their husbands we examine the associations of spouses with kin and friends as predictors of four marital qualities: love, maintenance, conflict and ambivalence. For husbands, contact with kin, and especially fathers, is tied to greater marital interdependence and lower conflict. For wives, contact with kin, and especially brothers-in-law, is consistently associated with greater marital distress in the form …
The Personal is Social
Comparative Methods for Delineating Social Networks
By centering on the assumption that clear conceptualization precedes appropriate measurement, four methods for defining and enumerating personal networks are detailed. Global networks are defined in terms of the domain from which all other personal networks are derived. The three additional types, including significant other, exchange and interactive networks, are conceptually unique and largely non-overlapping in their memberships. The network t…
Theoretical and Methodological Issues in the Identification of the Social Networks of Spouses
A variety of procedures developed to identify network members may be classified into measures of psychological networks (i.e., those people who are perceived as significant) or interactive networks (i.e., those individuals with whom interactions occur routinely). I examine the structural correspondence between these networks and argue that the network types are noncorrespondent, varying predictably in membership and composition. Descriptions of p…

Changes in Social Networks of Women and Men Following Divorce: A Review
A theoretical critique and review is presented concerning the character and consequences of changes in the social networks of spouses following separation and divorce. For men, cultural traditions that prescribe the duties and obligations of husbands are thought to encourage the development of personal friendships while simultaneously encouraging independence, thus insulating men from the possible benefits of social support following divorce. For…

Developing close relationships: Changing patterns of interaction between pair members and social networks
Friendship Networks in Developing Relationships: Converging and Diverging Social Environments
Changes in the structure offriendship networks are thought to complement change in a couple's level of involvement in a close relationship. As a pair become close, their network of mutual friends should increase in size, and with declining involvement a concurrent reduction in the number of mutualfriends should occur. A measure of network overlap was derived from daily reports of social activity provided by participants. The hypothesized variatio…
