“…A major problem in treating data from multiple family members comes from correlated measurement errors (Miller, Rollins, and Thomas, 1982). By the use of LISREL, it was possible to assess, and treat accordingly, correlated measurement errors due to possible respondent response bias.…”

“…It was an enjoyable position, teaching introductory marriage and family courses and graduate research methods. Developing and teaching that graduate research methods course (with Jo Lynn Cunningham) solidified a framework and structure that I later conveyed in journal articles (Miller, Rollins, & Thomas, 1982) and a textbook (Miller, 1986).…”

“…This is both a difficult question to ask and to answer in relation to Family Ecologt. As Miller, Rollins, and Thomas (1982) have indicated, previous research has been considered "good research" if, from the stance of the investigator, it could be characterized as objective and value-free (traditional positivism). However, they also have recognized that the issue has not yet been resolved because more researchers are November, 1988 Family Science Review LIJ t:…”

In this article we continue our discussion of the precurson to a Family Ecologt by articulating the conceptual commonalities and differences that are found in-the utilization of an ecological framework within the social and -beluvioral sciences. We then examine the implications of human ecologt for an ecological study of the family. Finally, we identify and discuss four citical tenets for a Famity Eco[ogt which is offered as an altemative interdisciplinary approach to the complex srudy of family phenomena.After reviewing a substantial amount of literature from a variety of disciplines (Herrin & Wright, USSI, we have found that there probably is only one commonly iecognized and iccepted element of ecological thought. Virtually everyone agrees,at the most-fundamental level, that the science of ecology is concerned (at the very least) with the study of the interrelationships among organisms and their environments. Yet, it is quite dijconcerting to think that this may be the only element.about which a consensus exists. There is a iertain amount of frustration involved in limiting the scope of ecology to a narrow set of widel] recognizsd boundaries and precepts when "ecology" also represents so many things to so many people.Seeking insight and guidance from documented historical references is of some help, but the exact origins and meanings of ecology remain as diverse and vague now as they cver were. We say this tealizitrg others maintain that much progress has been
