    RESIDENCY

    PATTERNS
    BY:
    CRISNA R. PUNDANO
    In the evolution of mankind and civilization, people have used several
    types of residency to live in a society. Patterns of society include:

     Patrilocal

     Matrilocal

     Ambilocal

     Neolocal
    PATTERNS OF SOCIETY

     Patrilocal residence refers to a “when a married couple lives in the


    husband’s father’s place of residence.”

     Matrilocal residence occurs when a married couple resides in the wife’s


    mother’s house.

     Ambilocal residence refers to a “pattern in which a married couple may


    choose either patrilocal or matrilocal.”

     Neolocal residence exists when a married couple builds a household in a


    different location; in this type of residence, the independence of the
    nuclear family is emphasized.

    (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, and McBride, 2008)


    Contemporary Philippine society tends to be neolocal in
    character since the nuclear family values independence more then
    extended family relations.

    This is especially true with the prevailing economic condition, which


    does not warrant a big household and more heads to feed.

    Moreover, couples also want separation from parents to avoid


    possible conflicts with in-laws who oftentimes meddle with family
    affairs, including matters related to financial budgeting and child-
    rearing.
    FAMILY AND THE
    HOUSEHOLD
     The basic element of society.
    (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, and McBride, 2008)

     Family refers to “two or more people related by blood, marriage, and


    adoption.”

     Household is defines as “the basic residential unit where economic,


    production, consumption, inheritance, child rearing, and shelter are
    organized and carried out.”

     The household can have other members aside from the family. It
    also has three categories:

    • Nuclear, Extended, and other set-up

    (Kottak, 2000)
    THREE CATEGORIES:

    1. Nuclear family refers to the “smallest family unit consisting of one or


    two parents and offspring, which may include a stepparents, step
    siblings, and adopted children.”

    (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, and McBride, 2008:473)

     It is believed that people belong to two possible nuclear families, either


    through:

    • Orientation

    • Procreation
    (Kottak, 2000)
    Two Possible Nuclear Families:

    • Family of orientation is the unit where one was born or raised.

    • Family of procreation is the unit that one forms when he or she


    takes a spouse, and they have a child or children.

    (Kottak, 2000)
    THREE CATEGORIES:
    2. Meanwhile, when three or more generations form a household, it
    is considered as an extended family.

    3. There are other family set-ups that exist in contemporary society,


    such as single-parent families and step families.

     Single-parent families refer to family units with one


    parent with one or more children.

     It may be the consequence of divorce or separation,


    births to unmarried mothers, death of a spouse, or
    desertion.

    (Strong, DeVault, and Cohen, 2011)


     Meanwhile, stepfamilies are family units where one or both members
    have children from their previous relationship.

    (Strong, DeVault, and Cohen, 2011)

    The term “reconstituted family” or “blended family” is discouraged from


    use as these set up the unrealiostic expectation for initially separate family units
    to naturally fold into one.

    (Welch, 2010)
