This article is a qualitative review of 32 publications appearing since J. Bossard and E. Boll's (1950) seminal work on family rituals was conducted. Definitions are offered whereby a distinction is made between family routines as observable practices and family rituals as symbolic representations of collective events. The relative occurrence of family routines, as described in the literature, appears to follow a developmental course and is affected by the cultural environment. Family routines and rituals were found to be related to parenting competence, child adjustment, and marital satisfaction. The studies were limited by inconsistent methods of assessing family routines, reliance on samples of convenience, and a failure to distinguish between direct and indirect effects. Recommendations are made to better integrate theory with empirical efforts to demonstrate the importance of family routines and rituals in contemporary life.
本文是对自J. 博萨德和E. 博尔1950年关于家庭仪式的开创性研究以来发表的32篇文献的定性综述。文中给出了一些定义，以此区分作为可观察行为的家庭日常惯例和作为集体事件象征表征的家庭仪式。文献中所描述的家庭日常惯例的相对发生率似乎遵循一个发展过程，并受到文化环境的影响。研究发现，家庭日常惯例和仪式与育儿能力、儿童适应情况以及婚姻满意度相关。这些研究存在一些局限性，比如评估家庭日常惯例的方法不一致、依赖便利样本，以及未能区分直接影响和间接影响。文中提出了一些建议，以便更好地将理论与实证研究相结合，从而证明家庭日常惯例和仪式在当代生活中的重要性。
