Abstract
Despite the universal and inevitable social, political, and technological changes that affect family structure and functioning, families in some form survive. Yet they differ significantly on a number of important variables: cultural histories, ethnic identities, bonds of kinship, patterns of residence, forms of lineage, integenerational relationships, socioeconomic characteristics, and an array of institutionalized attitudes and beliefs. Because of variations in their social biographies and the centrality of these nurturing units in all societies, each system should be examined with sensitivity and caution (Allen, 1978a,b; McLanahan, Wedemeyer, & Adelberg, 1981; Palisi, 1966; Staples, 1971a,b; Staples & Mirandé, 1980).
