This study, using a contextual approach, explores the relationhship family bonds to family structure and function across five cultures : greece, cyprus, the netherlands, britain and germany. Its long - term goal is the construction of measures of family structure and functioning that are useful in cross cultural research. Differences in emotional closeness, geographic proximity to relatives and frequency of telephone contacts and meetings were not found among the five cultures with respect to members of the nuclear family. Differences between greece and cyprus, selected as relatively collectivist cultures and britain, the netherlands, germany, individualist cultures, on these variables were found with respect to members of the extended family. By showing a pattern of cross - cultural similarity and differences, although moderate, among extended family members, this study shows that family structure and function are context variables that can explain variability between psychological variables and thus add to the explanatory power of cross - cultural psychology.
