Rationale 2: Stressors upon the family and individuals can influence the roles assumed by a member of the family.
Rationale 3: Demographic trends will influence roles in the family such as employment opportunities.
Rationale 4: The definition of family does not determine the role of a family member.
Rationale 5: Ethnocentrism is the conviction that one's own values and beliefs are the best or only acceptable ones. This does not influence the roles taken on by family members.
