The goal of this special issue on cultural variations in families--assessments, processes, and policies--is to increase our understanding of families of different ethnic, racial, and class backgrounds. Articles in this issue represent a range of cultural groups, illustrate a pattern of both similarities and differences across groups, and reflect the recent emphasis on processes that account for variation in families of different ethnic backgrounds. The articles focus on strengths of families of different ethnic backgrounds in contrast to earlier deficit models. Finally, theoretical models that recognize within-group variability of different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups are illustrated in these articles.
本期关于家庭文化差异——评估、过程与政策——的特刊目标是增进我们对不同种族、民族和阶级背景家庭的理解。本期文章涵盖了一系列文化群体，展示了各群体之间异同兼具的模式，并反映了近期对那些解释不同种族背景家庭差异的过程的重视。与早期的缺陷模型不同，这些文章聚焦于不同种族背景家庭的优势。最后，这些文章还阐述了认可不同种族、民族和文化群体内部差异的理论模型。
