The view is widely held that there is a tendency for the wife's rather than the husband's relatives to be favored in interaction in the working class. It rests on two assumptions which have not been demonstrated empirically: the female is pivotal in maintaining contact with her own and her husband's kindred, and when relatives are not seen jointly by the conjugal pair they are contacted solely by the wife. This conception of matricentricity and the assumptions underlying it are not supported in a white, urban working-class sample. Instead, working-class interaction with kin appears to be a system of kindred-based linkages, tending toward a consanguine-affine balance. Each spouse is the linkage for interaction with his or her own kindred. When kin are not seen jointly by the conjugal pair, each spouse tends to see his or her own kindred separately.If the balance in kindred-based linkages tends to be upset, it is because of essentially nonkinship factors, such as age differences between spouses.
