Families exist in every human society and, in every society, they fulfill important human needs and goals, including (but not limited to) socialization, reproduction and childrearing, and the provision of social support. Despite the important role that family plays in human life, there is little research examining how adults living in contemporary U.S. society understand the concept of "family." Thus, the primary goal of this study was to explore adults' beliefs about what constitutes "family." A secondary goal was to examine whether those beliefs differ as a function of gender and ethnicity. An ethnically diverse community sample of 901 adults (477 women, 424 men; mean age = 26.0 years) indicated the extent to which they believed that 12 different relational groupings (e.g., husband and wife and their biological children, two best friends, a single person and her or his pet) represented a family. Ratings were made using 9-point, Likert-type scales (anchored by 1= definitely not a family and 9 = definitely a family). Across participants, the most highly rated grouping was a heterosexual married couple with biological children. In fact, groupings that included children (biological or adopted) received higher ratings than all other groupings. Interestingly, even the two lowest rated groupings - two best friends and a single person and her or his pet - were still rated as only slightly below average with respect to being a "family." Gender differences were found. For example, both men and women gave equally high "family" ratings to a husband and wife and their biological children, an unmarried man and woman and their biological children, and to an unmarried man and woman living together as a couple. However, women gave higher "family" ratings than did men to all other relational groupings. Although a few ethnic differences were found, the pattern of ratings was identical across ethnic groups. These results suggest that most adults, regardless of gender and ethnicity, share fairly similar understandings of what constitutes "family." These results also illustrate that the majority of people accept a fairly wide variety of forms of "family.".
