Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being Cross-Cultural Evidence from Males

California State University, Fullerton, U.S.A.

Using data from London, England; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney, Australia, several hypotheses about the relationships between kinship interaction, social status, and subjective well-being are developed. It is found that social statuses are generally not cor related with interaction with kin. Interaction with immediate kin is positively correlated with overall well-being and marriage well-being, although it is more strongly correlated with the latter concept. Interaction with extended kin positively affects overall well-being, but not marriage well-being. There are few significant variations among cities.
