Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being

Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being Cross-Cultural Evidence from Males* BARTOLOMEO J. PALISI** California State University, Fullerton, U. S.A. ABSTRACT Using data from London, England; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney, Australia, several hypotheses about the relationships between kinship interaction, social status, and subjective well-being are developed. It is found that social statuses are generally not cor- related with interaction with kin. Interaction with immediate kin is positively correlated with overall well-being and marriage well-being, although it is more strongly correlated with the latter concept. Interaction with extended kin positively affects overall well-being, but not marriage well-being. There are few significant variations among cities. THE IMPORTANCE OF KIN and relatives for modern urbanites has been well documented (Gordon and Noll, 1975; Mirande, 1970; Litwak and Szelenyi 1969; Litwak, 1960; Adams, 1968; Key, 1968; Babchuk, 1965). In ur- ban communities, interaction with kin has been shown to vary by such factors as social-class (Gordon and Noll, 1975; Litwak, 1960; Adams, 1968); sex and age (Booth, 1972); ethnicity and religion (Gordon and Noll, 1975); and geographical distance from kin (Clark and Gordon, 1979).

Abstract

Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being Cross-Cultural Evidence from Males* BARTOLOMEO J. PALISI** California State University, Fullerton, U. S.A.
