INTERVIEW  WITH  A  FAMILY   60  Points     This  project  should  take  you  the  greater  part  of  the  term  to  complete  since  you  will  be  incorporating   practical  applications,  critical  thinking  skills  and  writing  skills  into  a  demonstration  of  your  knowledge   and  understanding  of  some  of  the  key  concepts  of  sociology.     You  will  submit  a  formally  written  paper  of  4-­‐5  pages  in  length  describing  and  analyzing  the  functioning   of  a  family.    You  will  study  marital/family  interaction  by  personally  interviewing  and  observing  the   members  of  a  specific  family  of  your  own  choosing.    This  will  not  include  your  immediate  family,  howev-­‐ er,  you  will  develop  a  set  of  interview  questions  prior  to  the  interview  (minimum  of  15  questions).         Your  interview  questions  will  be  worth  10  of  the  60  points.     You  can  interview  any  type  of  family,  including  a  nuclear  family,  single  parent  family,  child-­‐free  couple,   foster  family,  cohabitating  couple,  etc.    You  can  interview  anyone  except  your  family  of  orientation,  mean-­‐ ing  the  family  into  which  you  were  born,  or  your  family  of  procreation,  meaning  the  family  a  person  forms   by  marrying  or  having  or  adopting  children.    In  other  words,  you  cannot  interview  your  parents  or  your   own  spouse/partner.    You  can  interview  anyone  else  you  know,  including  your  grandparents  (unless  they   have  raised  you),  brother  or  sister’s  family,  or  other  family  member’s  family  or  friend’s  family.    Please  see   me  if  you  need  clarification  about  this.     You  will  analyze  the  data  that  you  collect  using  concepts  covered  in  this  course,  including  class  discussion   and  text  material.    For  each  description  of  an  event,  offer  an  interpretation  of  the  meaning  of  the  event   using  various  sociological  ideas.    At  least  fifteen  applications  of  course  concepts  from  diverse  sections  of   class  discussion  and/or  text  are  expected.         Do  not  write  this  paper  in  first  person;  in  other  words,  do  not  refer  to  yourself  in  the  context  of  the  paper   (do  not  say  “I”  or  “my,”  etc.).  This  paper  should  be  completely  objective;  do  not  refer  to  your  experiences   and  do  not  state  your  opinion  in  this  paper.     Also,  do  not  refer  to  the  interview  questions  in  the  context  of  the  paper.  You  are  to  include  the  list  of  your   15  interview  questions  as  a  separate  page  at  the  end  of  your  paper  (worth  10  of  the  60  points  total).  I  will   see  the  answers  to  your  questions  as  you  write  about  the  family.  For  example,  I  do  not  want  to  see,  “I   asked  the  family  who  is  primarily  responsible  for  the  household  chores…  and  they  said…”  Instead  you   would  say,  “Mrs.  Smith  is  primarily  responsible  for  the  household  chores…”     Assure  your  respondents  know  they  are  not  required  to  provide  their  names  in  order  for  you  to  complete  this   project.    In  your  paper,  use  fictional  names  for  each  family  member.    Additionally,  assure  them  that  you  will   not  discuss  their  responses  outside  of  your  research  paper,  which  will  solely  be  used  to  fulfill  a  course  re-­‐ quirement.    The  Instructor  is  also  bound  by  the  same  ethical  obligation  to  maintain  confidentiality  of  the   identities  of  the  respondents  and  the  issues  raised  by  your  interviews.         Include:   o How  and  why  you  located  the  family  that  you  selected.    Here  you  will  introduce  the  family   you  interviewed.  Explain  why  this  particular  family  was  interviewed.  For  example,  you  can   say,  "The  Smith  family  was  selected  to  interview  because  they  are  a  good  example  of  a  well-­‐ functioning  single  parent  family..."     o Description  and  interpretation  of  setting  and  interactions.    Observe  while  interviewing.  As   you  are  interviewing,  also  notice  the  setting  and  the  nonverbal  communication  during  the   interview.     o Factors  such  as  age,  race/ethnicity,  socioeconomic  status  (includes  income,  occupation,  and   education  to  determine  class  location),  spousal  roles,  parental  roles,  communication  pat-­‐ terns,  decision-­‐making  practices,  power  structure,  and  family  philosophy/main  priorities.     o Open  and  close  ended  questions.    Respondents’  answers  to  open  ended  questions  may  raise   additional  questions  for  you.     o This  project  is  considered  an  academic  paper,  therefore  the  explanations  must  be  written   in  formal  language  (no  slang,  and  limit  contractions,  such  as  can’t,  don’t,  won’t).   o Do  not  write  this  paper  in  first  person;  in  other  words,  do  not  refer  to  yourself  in  the  con-­‐ text  of  the  paper.    This  paper  should  be  completely  objective.    You  are  welcome  to  discuss   your  work  in  progress  anytime  prior  to  submission.         o Papers  must  be  stapled,  no  covers.   o The  following  is  the  format  in  which  the  project  will  be  organized:   1. Create  a  cover  page  for  your  project:                                                                                                                Your  name                                                                                                                Marriage,  Family  and  Relationships  (SOC  114)                                                                                                                  Title     Due  date     • Pages  MUST  be  numbered.       • Introduce  your  paper  with  a  sociological  issue  that  is  evident  in  this  family.    In  other  words,  open   with  a  central  theme  about  this  family  (for  example,  a  traditional  family,  autonomous  couple,  im-­‐ migrant  family,  single  parent  family,  stepfamily,  foster  family…)     • Conclude  your  paper  with  an  overall  explanation  of  the  family’s  functioning.   • Include  (at  the  end  of  your  paper)  your  interview  questions.   • The  body  of  your  paper  should  include  at  least  15  sociological  concepts.    The  main  thing  I  am  look-­‐ ing  for  is  how  well  you  apply  and  explain  (in  your  own  words)  the  various  course  concepts   throughout  the  paper.     • • Attach  your  set  of  interview  questions  at  the  end  of  your  paper.   Completed  papers  must  be  typed  and  double-­‐spaced,  using  12-­‐point,  Times  New  Roman  font,   black  ink,  and  1”  margins.     Papers  must  be  stapled.    I  will  deduct  2  points  for  unstapled  papers.   Grammar,  spelling,  and  format  are  important.    Be  sure  to  use  your  spell/grammar  check  and  proof   read  your  work.       • •   Suggestion:  It  always  helps  to  have  a  second  pair  of  eyes  view  your  work.    You  may  want  to  have  another   person  read  your  paper  prior  to  turning  it  in.    You  will  not  be  penalized  for  limited  grammatical/spelling   errors.    However,  excessive  errors  will  result  in  a  reduction  of  points.     • Late  papers  will  not  be  accepted.    No  exceptions!   • Any  deviations  from  this  format  will  result  in  points  being  deducted  from  the  project  grade.   • Your  grade  will  be  determined  by  how  successful  you  are  in  following  the  specified  instructions,   and  especially  in  addressing  and  expanding  upon  each  of  the  sociological  concepts.    Show  me  that   you  understand  the  course  material.               Sample  interview  questions:   Would  you  say  you  both  hold  traditional  roles  within  the  marriage?       Who  is  in  charge  of  the  indoor/outdoor  responsibilities?   Who  holds  the  instrumental/expressive  role?    Are  the  roles  equally  shared?   Who  is  primarily  in  charge  of  disciplining  the  child(ren)?  /  How  do  you  discipline?   Do  you  use  day  care?   Do  you  both  work  outside  the  home?    What  do  you  do  for  a  living?   Who  cooks?  /  Who  cleans?   Who  manages  the  money?   Who  does  the  grocery  shopping?   How  involved  is  the  extended  family?   Are  you  actively  involved  in  a  religious  services?   When  it  comes  to  big  decisions,  who  has  the  final  word?    Do  you  make  them  jointly?   What  are  your  main  priorities/goals  in  life?

Family Interview

The Edwards family was selected for this study since it portrays the best functioning of a
married couple in a traditional setup. The setup is a society where men and women have different
roles according to the traditions (Borthwick, 2015). The couples embrace the traditional norms
