Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to examine the relations between family and kindred(sinrui), and changes therein, especially the situational factors in family life and the extention of kindred.<br>　The results of the analysis based on the research in Shirat suchi are follows; (1) The composition of kindred is changing from the traditional norm toward a modern personal kindred. This statement is based on the fact that the kindred acknowledged by the family head extends more widely on his own side, regardless of his sex, and also from the fact that the weaker the family heads' consciousness of ie, the wider the kindred is extended on his own side. (2) It is clear that the ie norm subtly influences the composition of kindred because of a definite extention to own parents' side, even when the aged family head and the differences in the extention of kindred to his own parents' and his spouse parents' side depended on his relationship to the former family head. (3) It is to be expected in these circumstances that kindred will be influenced by situational factors in family life. In fact, it is obvious that age of family head, his relationship to the former family head and the family life-cycle are connected with the extention of kindred.
