Why flashcards suit families and households revision

Revising families and households means holding a lot of terms, theories and studies in your head at once. A-Level sociology families and households flashcards help you test that recall in short sessions instead of rereading the same chapter.

Key terms such as nuclear family, extended family, reconstituted family and conjugal roles
Functionalist, Marxist and feminist views of the family and what each one claims
Studies and evidence on divorce, cohabitation, childhood and domestic labour
Short answer prompts that ask you to evaluate a view using a named study

Example A-Level sociology families and households flashcards

What is a nuclear family?A household of two parents and their dependent children, a model Murdock described as the basic unit of family life.

What is the symmetrical family?Young and Willmott's term for couples who share domestic tasks and decisions more equally, linked to women's employment and home-centred leisure.

What are segregated conjugal roles?A division where husbands and wives have separate, gendered jobs in the home and outside it, often found in traditional working-class families.

What is a reconstituted family?A family formed after divorce or separation when one or both partners bring children from an earlier relationship, often with stepparents and stepsiblings.

What is the feminist view of the family?That the family serves patriarchal interests, with women carrying most unpaid domestic labour, as argued by Delphy and Leonard.

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or an image of your revision pages.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl pulls out terms, theories and studies and writes a front and back for each one.

Study in the browser

Work through the deck with spaced repetition and return to the cards you keep missing.

Good cards separate the functionalist view of the nuclear family from the feminist critique, and keep studies such as Young and Willmott's work on the symmetrical family tied to the claims they support. Make cards for definitions, key thinkers and the evidence behind each debate.

Because the cards come from your own notes, the deck reflects your teacher's emphasis and your specification. Review it regularly and you will find the exam questions on diversity and change easier to answer.
