Abstract

Possible dysfunctional consequences of upward social mobility for nuclear family integration were sought from 89 upwardly mobile families in Uppsala, Sweden. Educational, occupational and financial mobility were correlated with husband-wife agreement, marital adjustment, parent-child closeness, and family orientation measures, as perceived by the wife. Nuclear family integration was found to be negatively associated with differential husband-wife mobility orientations and differential generational husband-wife mobility. Some negative association was found between nuclear family integration and high rates of upward mobility, mobility from! lower to middle class, different role-models for husband and wife, and where role models of the husband and wife are from different social classes.
