family, extended This term refers to a family system in which several generations live in one household. Nostalgia for the extended family is based largely on myth, as in Western, non-agrarian societies such households are rare. Conversely, even in conjugal families, wider kinship obligations can be strong. See also FAMILY, SOCIOLOGY OF.
