摘要:

The role of energy in supporting the family ecosystem is reviewed in terms of energy technology and family behaviour, information needs and family choice. The complexity of the family's dependence upon energy is highlighted as a major deterrent to effective decision making that would yield more energy‐thrifty lifestyles. Some examples of the energy costs of different lifestyle choices are reviewed based upon research currently in progress. Finally some procedures are suggested for improving the supply of information to consumers and some family decision making strategies are recommended as more fruitful than other

摘要:

It is the contention of this paper that home management should have its own distinctive conceptual framework and that it should concern itself not only with the ideal organization of the home, but also with actual home management practices. Systems theory, because it is a coordinating model based on cooperative relationships, does not provide the basis for an adequate conceptual framework. Home management theory must include concepts such as conflict, power, authority and ideology if it is to understand and to change existing home management practices.

摘要:

Which aspects of their school experience of home economics do housewives find most useful? Does this experience modify ways of caring for a home and family between successive generations? Are there marked differences between housewives in different social classes in their regard for home economics? This paper compares the responses to these questions and infers there is a need to give explicit recognition to the relationship between home economics education, social policy and the quality of home and family life.
