The Jones family shares power between family members. This is an example of which type of power structure?
a. complementary family power c. egalitarian family power
b. chaotic family power d. democratic family power
C
Egalitarian family power is power shared between family members. This is an increasingly observed form of family power in the United States. Chaotic family power is the absence of power structure within a family structure. The family process is dysfunctional. Complementary family power requires a dominion-submission dynamic within the family structure. In this family power type, healthy families are characterized by parents having a clear power advantage that their children recognize and accept. There is not a democratic family power type.
