Abstract
Historical changes in the composition of households in Western society have largely been analyzed without reference to social theory. Two empirically‐based theoretical models of changing household composition have recently been presented; the first predicts change as a result of class conflict in the development of a capitalist economy, and the other predicts change as the result of adaptation to changes in a community's level of economic diversification. Using data from a rural U.S. community, both models are tested to evaluate their relative explanatory power.
