Abstract

The current study looks at the concept of healthy family functioning in China and Taixuan within the context of Circumplex theory. Common family strcngthing characteristics selected by survey par ticipants were used to determine the importance of communication, cohesion, and adaptation for 268 married adults in Taiwan and 305 married adults in China. The two Chinese samples generally agreed as to the most important characteristics of healthy families in their cultures. While communication and adaptation were important for both groups, emphasis on cohesion was much greater.
