An important component of the socialization function of the family continues to be the preparation of the young for integration into society. Empirical data, particularly from therapeutic settings, indicate that some children are notably well prepared for the world outside their families, while others have hardly been prepared at all. Adolescence is typically the time when these coping skills are most obvious. This paper addresses the issue of socialization of the young for participation in society. Building upon the "family theme" motif, the family is viewed as a micro-society. The issue of congruence between family themes and societally shared meanings is considered, utilizing ideas from the social construction of reality theories of Berger and Luckmann (1966). Three ideal-types of family themes are developed relative to their external world meanings. Previous work on family themes typically has failed to deal with the interpretative function of family meanings. How the family "explains" the family-external meanings is addressed.
家庭社会化功能的一个重要组成部分仍然是让年轻人做好融入社会的准备。实证数据，尤其是来自治疗环境的数据表明，一些孩子为走出家庭进入外部世界做好了显著的准备，而另一些孩子则几乎没有任何准备。青春期通常是这些应对技能最为明显的时期。本文探讨了年轻人参与社会的社会化问题。基于“家庭主题”这一主题，家庭被视为一个微观社会。运用伯杰和卢克曼（1966）的现实社会建构理论中的观点，考虑了家庭主题与社会共享意义之间的一致性问题。相对于其外部世界意义，发展出了三种理想类型的家庭主题。以往关于家庭主题的研究通常未能处理家庭意义的解释功能。本文探讨了家庭如何“解释”家庭外部的意义。
