The purpose of this study was to examine simultaneously the application of two constructs (social class and life cycle) as an instrument for analyzing family decision-making patterns. The focused interviews indicated that through the life-cycle stages, the upper-middle-class families made syncratic decisions, the lower-middle-class families made syncratic and partially syncratic decisions, and the upper-lower-class families made syncratic, partially syncratic, and autonomic decisions. The data suggested that the variables of role, social interaction, product competence, marital relations, and family income influenced the paradigms of family decision-making
