“…Thus, theory that is built with the consideration of construct equivalence will more closely mirror actual processes. If we are to address Coontz's () call to better understand various groups, we must first begin by examining this at the most basic level by asking whether our constructs are the same across groups and time.…”

The most basic building block of any research endeavor is the "construct." A construct is "an abstract idea, underlying theme, or subject matter that one wishes to measure" (Dew, 2008, p. 133). Common constructs for family scientists include relationship satisfaction, relationship status, parenting style, parenting stress, support, conflict, depression, and risk and/or resilience. Central to theoretical models is how constructs relate to each other. For example, parenting theories relate certain child constructs (e.g., School of Family Life, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602 (justindyer@byu.edu).

“…Many women are dissatisfied by the asymmetrically distributed family obligations on their shoulders and even with their intimate relationships. In fact, a man's failure to do housework was found to be a strong predictor of divorce (Coontz, ; Frisco & Williams, ).…”

Although extant research has found family critical in understanding international student mobility, studies focusing on the role of intimate relationships, such as marriage or romantic relationships, are few in number and typically with a backdrop of the Global South-to-North mobility pattern. Based on data collected among Thai nationals studying in Chinese universities, intimate relationships are found in this study to pull partners across borders towards each other. This general trend nevertheless hides a stark disparity between genders in the sense that people are attracted by intimate relationships and in their mobility intentions. Contrary to popular belief, women in this study are less attached to their intimate relationships. Instead, they strategically plan on going to places where better chances for self-realisation exist. By examining Thai female international students' cross-cultural experiences and real-life situations, we suggest that their compatriot intimate relationships often fail them because more than their share of household chores are stuck with them, even when they study abroad. Female international students in this article are neither willingly docile nor overtly rebellious, rather, they practically manoeuvre and cope according to their transnational circumstances and capabilities. The implication of these more mobile female international students on gender relationships is also discussed in light of Bourdieu's practice theory. Results in this study contribute to the understanding of international student mobility by focusing on intimate relationships and by incorporating a gendered and critical perspective.

“…We live at a time when the traditional notion of the nuclear family has been exploded through sexual liberation, gay rights, unprecedented divorce and remarriage rates, blended families, adoptions, etc. (Coontz, 2015). While many of these movements and processes also suffer the transpositions of familialism over uncoded desire, they simultaneously disrupt, or at least make visible, the workings of familialism in its association with capitalism.…”

As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, who is to be served by institutions of care and to what ends becomes a pressing matter of concern. Foucault has suggested that the capitalist regime of rule in the twentieth century deployed residential settings as disciplinary apparatuses for shaping subjects to its colonial and industrial interests. However, in the twenty-first century, Deleuze has proposed that it is no longer discipline that is of primary concern for capitalism, but control through an ever-proliferating system of abstract code. It is within this context that terms, such as care within institutional residential encounters, open themselves to the necessity of interrogation. This paper will argue that residential care is a field of encounter saturated with a complex and intricate array of affects. If the rule of capitalism is designed to abstract lived experience, then any affirmation of the corporeal experience of encounter as lived experience might well constitute an alternative affirmation of life and hence a revolutionary set of possibilities. This paper will argue that it is love as creative desire that holds the most powerful possibilities for affirming the lived encounter to be found in residential care.
