Abstract
The conduct of human affairs, in contrast to progress in science and technology, has suffered from reliance upon generalities, superstitions, fallacies, and prejudices. There is all too little pertinent research concerning man’s relation to his fellows and few guides to aid in the attainment of creative, co-operative and mutually constructive interaction. In this connection certain students of human behavior have become increasingly interested in the family unit as one of the smallest social systems in which the dynamics of interpersonal conflict resolution can be observed. A family historian, Professor Goode, who recently completed a major study of current family patterns in many countries of the world observed, “So many ‘facts’ need to be corrected. Ideal patterns of family behavior have been thought to be real ones, and a hypothetical harmony in past family relations has been assumed, rather than treated as a hypothesis to be tested.” (1)
