Unit 9 Family Theories - II


1. Give empirical applications of the feminist theory.

Two empirical applications of feminist theory:

  • Gendered division of labour: Feminist theory can be used to study and understand how labour is divided along gender lines in various social settings.
  • Measuring diversity in feminism: Researchers have developed scales to measure diverse feminist attitudes, such as conservative, liberal, radical, socialist, cultural, and women of colour feminism.


2. Arrange the following in a sequence and give an example at each level.

  • Microsystem: Home
  • Mesosystem: Connection between home and daycare
  • Exosystem: Workplace of parents
  • Macrosystem: Laws
  • Chronosystem: Effect of time or events on the development of a child.


3. What do you understand by the term social systems? Explain with an example.

A social system refers to a structured network of relationships and interactions within a society or a group. It includes institutions, organisations, and individuals that are interconnected and influence each other. For example, the family is a social system comprised of interconnected individuals, each playing specific roles, with their interactions shaping the family’s dynamics and functioning as a whole. Other examples of social systems include schools, workplaces, and communities.


4. Analyse the feminist theory critically.

Feminist theory examines the changing status of women in India over time. There are different variants of feminist theory, including liberal, socialist, cultural/anthropological, and multicultural feminism.


5. The ecosystems of bio-ecological theory are interdependent. Explain with the help of examples.

The bio-ecological theory proposes that an individual's development is influenced by various interconnected environmental systems. These systems include the microsystem (immediate environment like family or school), mesosystem (interactions between microsystems), exosystem (external environments that indirectly affect an individual like a parent's workplace), macrosystem (cultural values and laws), and chronosystem (the dimension of time and historical events). The systems are interdependent because changes in one system can impact other systems. For example, if a parent experiences job loss (exosystem), this could lead to financial strain (macrosystem) and increased stress and conflict within the family (microsystem), and thus affect the child’s development.
