Prolegomena for a Sociological Study of the Chinese Family in Indigenous Terms
We examine the Chinese family from an indigenous perspective. Starting from the meanings conveyed by the ideograms in the Chinese language, we analyze 4 different concepts into which the English term and sociological notion of family can be translated. Then, we examine the physical and ideological structures on which the ideograms are based. Our analysis reveals that the Chinese family has similarities with what in the West is called lineage and …
Family Privacy
Privacy is examined within the context of marriage and the family. The relative invisibility of significant intrafamilial transaction is used to explain part of our pluralistic ignorance concerning the psychosocial dimensions of this basic unit of society. Based on a framework of concepts derived from the social sciences, both the functional and dysfunctional aspects of familial autonomy are elaborated, with particular emphasis given to marital i…

Scientific Norms and Research Publication Issues and Professional Ethics
This paper addresses the standards of scientific behavior and research within the context of academic scholarship. Factors which lead some researchers to transgress the ethical boundaries associated with the publication process are presented and discussed. Included is an examination of the central issues related to the 'publish or perish' syndrome. It is argued that the intense pressure to get one's work into print often distorts the serious purs…
Women in Age-Discrepant Marriages
This research seeks to identify salient sociodemographic correlates of women's likelihood of marrying outside the normative age patterns. The data were drawn from the Public Use Sample of the 1980 Census. Logistic regression analyses show that Black women are significantly more likely than White women to be in age-heterogamous marriages. Marital history appears to be the strongest predictor of age-discrepant marriages - remarried subjects exhibit…

Survivor education
Those of us who study and teach about death related issues–we are sometimes called thanatologists–generally agree that death education, “if taught properly, is very much concerned with life in the fullest sense”, (1, p. 32) that none of us reaches true maturity until we have learned to face the fact of our own death and then shaped our ways of living accordingly. Herman Feifel perhaps put this more eloquendy when he states: “To die–this is the hu…
Social networks and life preservation
The connections between social ties, health status, and death are examined. Research provides strong evidence that social relationships and networks are life-enhancing and contribute to longevity. The “broken-heart syndrome” illustrates the increased mortality risk following the loss of a spouse and subsequent emotional and physiological consequences of severe grief. Factors associated with the higher mortality rates of males are analyzed. Remarr…
Individual lifestyles and survivorship
Individual lifestyles bear directly on the length and quality of life. The habits and attitudes which reflect personal lifestyle are examined in terms of their life-threatening potential. Several important attitudes and behaviors are discussed in relation to survival, including: cultural expectations and “machismo,” a holistic perspective, physical exercise, motivation, paying attention, and cynicism. Nutrition behavior is used to illustrate how …
Summary and conclusion
Throughout this issue, we have stressed that the ability to achieve maximum life expectancy is a function of personal choices and societal incentives. Within either context, strategies can be invoked which result in a reduction of mortality and morbidity risks and, therefore, an increased survival rate. The emphasis has been not so much on death and dying as on the human potential for living
The societal context of survivorship
This article focuses on the societal context of factors that influence life chances. It links patterns of mortality to region, site of habitation, and race. Survivorship is also discussed in terms of certain key changes in technology and mores of American society. Finally, 15 major dimensions affecting the length and quality of life are presented. They range from individual behavior (for example, smoking and alcohol or drug abuse) to societal pol…
Age Heterogamy in Marriage
This paper examines May-September and May-December marriages--that is marriages in which spouses are separated by unconventional age differences. These marriages are not interesting for their numbers; only about 8% of marriages are age-heterogamous. What makes them interesting is their potential for theorizing about homogamy and its social consequences. Using data from the US Panel of Income Dynamics and a major epidemiological study in Florida t…

Family Scholarship
This article outlines and presents support for the thesis that family scholarship is largely shaped by sociodemographic changes in the family. It presents several additional alternative explanations for trends in the substantive foci of family scholarship. These include: serendipity; personal interest; proliferation and the changing composition of the body of researchers; social movements; key scholars; interaction between researchers and practit…
Families, Prisons, and Men with Death Sentences
This article examines the impact on family members of the uncertainty surrounding the institutionalization of a loved one. Detailed observations and interviews were conducted with several men sentenced to death in Florida and with their families. The stresses of death row confinement for both the family and inmate are outlined. It is found that the stresses of death row have major consequences for family and friends, with some withdrawing and oth…

Family Research and Theory
The 1960 Decade Review did not include, or gave little attention to, sex roles, teenage parenthood, family stress and coping, and violence in the family. Interest in these topics grew during the seventies, and each will form an area of major investigation in the eighties. The dedication of individual scholars has helped to sustain the momentum of research in these areas, but there has also been generous support from federal funding agencies. For …

Survivorship and Social Isolation
The transition from agrarian to urban-industrial American society was accompanied by the emergence of a conception of the aged which stressed involuntary structural isolation from relatives and friends. While evidence has accumulated which seriously questions this early conception, findings from research literature presented in the present paper suggest that it is applicable to the aged widower. The evidence indicates that the aged male survivor …

Widowhood Status in the United States
Over the past several decades the number of widows among our population has shown a continuous and substantial rise, and there is evidence that widowhood is rapidly emerging as a major phenomenon of American society. An examination of selected socio-demographic conditions which characterize contemporary widowhood status reveals a dismal picture. The majority of female survivors face a multiplicity of personal and familial adjustment problems whil…

Kinship Interaction and Communications among Space-Age Migrants
This research examines the nature of kinship interaction and communication among migrant families residing in the Cape Kennedy region of east-central Florida. The argument that individuals who are strongly attached to their extended families will be reluctant to move even if better jobs are available elsewhere was not supported, albeit indirectly, by this research. Similarly, there was little in the data for this sample to support the notion that…

Decade Preview
Throughout seventies, family in United States, as well as in other parts of world, continued to adapt its structure and functions in response to other institutional changes. As one leading national magazine aptly put it, family's ability to accommodate social change underscores the resilience of an institution that has repeatedly withstood predictions of an early demise (U.S. News and World Report, 1980:48). Such statements are simply a reaffirma…

Kinship Interaction and Migrant Adaptation in an Aerospace-Related Community
While recent studies have demonstrated the presence and vitality of kinship groupings in our urban areas, there has been little systematic research evidence to indicate the relationship of such groupings to migrant status and behavior patterns. An examination of the kin group relations of 1093 randomly selected newcomers to the Cape Kennedy region of east-central Florida indicates that kinship interaction does not function as an important variabl…

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance of variables surrounding (1) illegitimacy and (2) the time interval between unwed motherhood and subsequent marriage. The data were based on responses obtained from 1,625 women in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The factors found to be related significantly to illegitimacy were age at marriage, educational attainment, father's social status, husband's social status, and mobility. Measures…
