Structural-Functionalist theory dwindled in the 1960s and 1970s with the increase in single-parent families, gay couples, and blended families. Why would these social changes affect structural-functionalist theory?
A. Structural-functionalist theory was the prevailing theory in the 1950s and thus by contrast came to be seen as "uncool". B. Structural-functionalist theory was predicated on the idea of a set structure for institutions like the family and so single-parent families, gay couples, and blended families were invisible in this view.
