This diverse collection of papers highlights routines and rituals in family life. Just as individual family members bring unique styles and perspectives to the family table, to be incorporated into a family framework, so do each of these papers present rich and varied research questions, designs, and measurement strategies that enrich our understanding of family routine behavior patterns and ritual meanings. This series adds to our conceptualization of family routines and rituals within a systems perspective highlighting: 1) families are comprised of multiple levels that operate individually; interact with each other; and as a whole, reveal properties distinct from separate parts; 2) families tend toward stability in meaningful patterns of functioning; and 3) family functioning has meaning for individual outcomes.
这本多样的论文集突出了家庭生活中的日常事务和仪式。正如每个家庭成员会将独特的风格和观点带到家庭餐桌旁，融入家庭框架一样，这些论文中的每一篇都提出了丰富多样的研究问题、设计和测量策略，丰富了我们对家庭日常行为模式和仪式意义的理解。本系列从系统视角增加了我们对家庭日常事务和仪式的概念化，突出了以下几点：1）家庭由多个层面组成，这些层面各自运作；相互作用；并且作为一个整体，展现出与各个部分不同的特性；2）家庭倾向于在有意义的功能模式中保持稳定；3）家庭功能对个体结果具有意义。
