| | Kinship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The crux of his argument was that anthropologists had founded the domain of “kinship” on the notions of human reproduction and the biologically defined relatedness of their own Euro-American culture. | | | Kinship is the most basic principle of organizing individuals into social groups, roles, and categories. | | | Anthropologists have studied different systems of kinship in a wide variety of cultures; see family. |

| | Kinship Care - Adoption Encyclopedia |
| | According to CQ Researcher, because of problems with kinship care some states have established a "subsidized guardianship" arrangement, wherein the relative receives a monthly subsidy and is established as the child's legal guardian. | | | In most cases, the person providing kinship care is the child's grandmother, followed by the aunt, although if the child is an infant, the aunt or great-aunt is more likely to provide care. | | | It may also be less stigmatizing to a child to be in kinship care than to be in the foster care system. |

| | Kinship Care |
| | Kinship care, the living situation in which a grandparent, other close relative or someone else who is emotionally close to a child takes primary responsibility for the care of that child, also is increasing outside the formal child welfare system. | | | Kinship care can be an effective alternative to foster care, providing numerous benefits for the child and family and reducing the growing need for foster care and adoptive homes. | | | Financial support provided to kinship care families varies depending upon the relationship of that family with the child welfare system, as well as upon the federal funding stream used by the state to provide the support. |

| | Kinship Care Section 3 |
| | Kinship arrangements are likely to be established fairly early in a child's foster care experience. | | | A simple explanation would be that while overall kinship levels result from general social processes and trends that affect children similarly in each state, the specific response of establishing and supporting formal kinship foster care arrangements is highly dependent on local child welfare policy and practice considerations, which can vary across states. | | | In contrast, the prevalence of formal kinship care arrangements is greater for the 0-5 age group in all states except Missouri (where both levels are very low). |

| | HUANG & JIA -- Chinese Kinship Terms |
| | Further studies can be focused on the relations between a culture’s kinship system and the people’s communicative behavior, the influence of a certain kinship system on different generations, using kinship terms by non-kins in speech communication, using kinship terms to gain compliance, and using kinship terms as a face-saving strategy in verbal interaction. | | | Through kinship terms, it is possible to understand a culture’s power structure, particular interpersonal communication patterns, and normative elements of the family system, structure, and functions. | | | Because a kinship term represents a member’s status in a family and his/her relations with other members, it is an unwritten law that people should be addressed by their kinship terms before any verbal communication could take place. |

| | Calculating Kinship |
| | Despite recent theoretical trends away from kinship as a central focus in the discipline, in dealing with actual case studies kinship cannot be avoided as an important nexus of structuration and construction in human affairs, even within so-called complex societies such as our own. | | | Anthropologists, when analyzing their work (or that of others) relating to kinship, will begin their analysis with a set of models, ideas and representations which, if not agreed upon, are at least familiar. | | | The examples are mostly drawn reflexively from my kinship relationships, and the terminology is mainly a variant of English Kinship Terminology (EKT). |
