帕森斯有一个著名的假说:在现代化的过程中,家庭会经历从扩大家庭到核心家庭的转变。也可以把这个转变过程概括为从亲子轴为主的家庭向夫妻轴为主的家庭的转变。 我有一个对帕森斯假设的补充假设,即:虽然在现代化过程中家庭关系从扩大家庭向核心家庭的转变或许没有发生在西方社会,但这一转变却在中 Parsons has a well-known hypothesis: in the process of modernization, families will experience a shift from expanding families to core families. It is also possible to generalize this transition as a shift from a parent-oriented family to a couple-centered family. I have a complementary hypothesis to Parsons’s hypothesis that although the transition of family relations from an extended family to a nuclear family may not have taken place in Western society in the process of modernization,
