Changes in definition of family, economic opportu- nity, and demographics of the population of Ireland have been major factors in shaping family research in recent decades. Although divorce is constitutionally prohibited in Ireland, separations and non-marital births are indicators of family structural change in Ireland as in the rest of Europe. Research on aging and on rural families has been related to the need for policies to address issues of economic as well as social importance. The need now is to link these policy-driven investigations as well as future research into coherent theoretical analyses and to launch interdisciplinary collaborations.

This paper focuses on the development and dissemina- tion of knowledge about family in the small academic community in Israel. The definition of family in this paper is inclusive of all forms of nuclear and extended family and kinship networks. An extensive bibliography was developed as a basis for this review of the multiple disciplinary research on family in Israel. An examination of the development of family sociology in Israel suggests a marginalization of the field of research. Zionist ideology does not place the family in a prominent role in social change. Instead, the family is seen as passive recipient of change as it occurs in the larger society. Only in positions concerning the need to absorb immigrants or to blend exiles can the role of the family in shaping society be seen. The exotic or problematic families have been the subjects of family research in Israel, leaving the average Israeli family largely unstud- ied.

The history of family research in Finland dates back to 1889, when the famous sociologist Edward Westermarck published his doctoral thesis "The Origin of Human Marriage." After World War II the old anthropological and socio-historical research tradition was effectively superseded by the emerging school of American sociology. By 1952 the focus of attention in sociology was already shifting to the problems of modern society. There appeared hardly any texts during the 1950s that seriously challenged the traditional family institution. Family research invested virtually all its energies in studying the housewife and assuring people that family was alive and well. The entire field of sociological research saw some significant changes in the late 1970s. A new category-way-of-life-took the social sciences and sociology by storm. The arrival of this concept provides one example of the growing influence of Marxist research during the 1970s. Since the 1980s the attention of family researches has been shifting more ...

This paper argues that the development of family research and theory in Great Britain has been strengthened by the fluidity of boundaries between various disciplines and methodolo- gies employed in the explanation of family life. Indeed, changes in the definition of family have been at the heart of the diversity and fluidity characteristic of the study of family. Studies of economic issues, gender and class distinctions, and family processes have involved vari- ous perspectives in research and theory building. Future directions for research suggest the need to explore linkages between British scholars and the wider community of family scholars, topics related to family morality or obligation, further development of qualitative and quantitative methods in family research, and continued exchanges between scholars and policy makers.

Major influences on the Greek family of recent decades have been decrease in the birthrate, the abolition of the institution of the dowry, and changes in migratory patterns. This review highlights specific studies of family change related to demographic and eco- nomic changes in Greece. The authors conclude that family research has been closely linked with family policy. Little attention is given to the need for theoretical development, methodological refinement, or collaboration.

A social revolution has occured in Denmark over the last quarter century. Danish family research during this period has been conducted in three settings: the Danish National Institute of Social Research; University departments of developmental and clinical psychology and sociology; and University based feminist research. Research within these contexts is reviewed with attention given to the impact of political and social change on research agendas. major theoretical and methodological influences are presented for each research context.

The sociology of marriage and the family in Switzer- land does not have a long history of theorizing and empirical research. It is only during the last two decades that research groups at the socio- logical institutes of the Universities of Zurich and Geneva special- ized in this field. Research was first of all stimulated by the dramatic socio-demographic changes that occurred in the late 1960s which called for sociological explanations, and secondly by the contradic- tions between these changes and the strong normative traditionalism peculiar to Switzerland. Nevertheless family research in Switzerland is still relatively marginal, compared to other topics of social sciences. A scientific center continuously dealing with family issues is still lacking. Swiss family researchers will therefore continue to integrate themselves into the broader framework of European family research.

The origin of empirical social research in Austria is generally credited to the work of adolescence by Paul F. Lazarsfeld during the early 1930s. Spurred by urgent post-war problems, Leo- pold Rosenmayr reintroduced empirical social research in his hous- ing studies during the decades between 1950 and 1970. Rosenmayrs concept of intimacy at the distance has been influential in the study of intergenerational relationships in social as well as ecologi- cal contexts. In the 1980s, the attention of social researchers turned to the definition of family. The dominant topic at the macro-level has been deinstitutionalization of the family, while the micro-level focus has been on superindividualization. This review of the devel- opment of family research and theory in Austria traces recent trendstoward individualism for their influence on family roles, intergenera- tional relationships, and public policy regarding family caregiving.
奥地利实证社会研究的起源通常被认为是20世纪30年代初保罗·拉扎斯菲尔德(Paul F. Lazarsfeld)在青少年时期的工作。在战后紧迫问题的刺激下，利奥-波德·罗森玛尔在1950年至1970年的几十年里，在他的住房研究中重新引入了实证社会研究。罗森梅斯的远距离亲密概念对社会和生态背景下的代际关系研究具有重要影响。在20世纪80年代，社会研究者的注意力转向了家庭的定义。宏观层面的主要议题是家庭的去制度化，而微观层面的焦点是超个体化。本文回顾了奥地利家庭研究和理论的发展，追溯了个人主义对家庭角色、代际关系和有关家庭照顾的公共政策的影响。
