Mobility of individual members and family groups tends to split up family relationships.
个人成员和家庭群体的流动往往会使家庭关系分裂。
Occasionally the movement of a family away from a situation which has been the source of friction results in greater family organization, but on the whole mobility is disorganizing.
偶然情况下，一个家庭从争执的环境中转移出来会导致更大的家庭组织，但总的来说，流动是无序的。
Individuals and families are involved in three types of mobility: movement in space, movement up or down in social status, and the movement of ideas. These are termed respectively spatial, vertical, and ideational mobility.
个人和家庭参与三种类型的流动：空间流动、社会地位上下流动和思想流动。这些分别被称为空间流动性、垂直流动性和概念流动性。
A great increase in spatial mobility has gone along with improvements in rail and water transportation, the invention and use of the automobile, and the availability of airplane passenger service. Spatial mobility results in a decline in the importance of the traditional home with its emphasis on family continuity and stability. It also means that when individual family members or the family as a whole move away from a community, the person or the family is removed from the pressures of relatives, friends, and community institutions for conventionality and stability. Even more important is the fact that spatial mobility permits some members of a family to come in contact with and possibly adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking different from those held by other family members. The presence of different attitudes, values, and ways of thinking with in a family may, and often does, result in conflict and family disorganization. Potential disorganization is present in those families in which the husband, wife, and children are spatially separated over a long period, or are living together but see each other only briefly because of different work schedules.
随着铁路和水运的改善，汽车的发明和使用，以及飞机客运服务的可用性，空间流动性的大幅增加。空间流动性导致传统家庭的重要性下降，传统家庭强调家庭的连续性和稳定性。这也意味着，当个人家庭成员或整个家庭离开一个社区时，个人或家庭将摆脱亲属、朋友和社区机构保持传统和稳定的压力。更重要的是，空间流动性允许家庭中的一些成员接触并可能采取与其他家庭成员不同的态度、价值观和思维方式。在一个家庭中，不同的态度、价值观和思维方式可能会，而且往往会导致冲突和家庭混乱。在那些丈夫、妻子和孩子在空间上长期分离的家庭中，或者由于工作时间表不同而住在一起但只短暂见面的家庭中存在潜在的混乱。
One index of the increase in vertical mobility is the great increase in the proportion of sons, and to some extent daughters, who engage in occupations other than those of the parents.
垂直流动性增加的一个指标是，从事父母以外职业的儿子和女儿的比例大幅增加。
Another index of vertical mobility is the degree of intermarriage between racial classes. This occurs almost exclusively between classes which are adjacent to each other. Engaging in a different occupation, or intermarriage, like spatial mobility, allows one to come in contact with ways of behavior different from those of the parental home, and tends to separate parents and their children.
垂直流动的另一个指标是种族阶层之间的通婚程度。这几乎只发生在彼此相邻的类之间。从事不同的职业或异族通婚，如空间流动，会让人接触到与父母家庭不同的行为方式，并倾向于将父母和孩子分开。
The increase in ideational mobility is measured by the increase in publications, such as newspapers, periodicals, and books, the increase in the percentage of the population owning radios, and the increase in television sets. All these tend to introduce new ideas into the home.
概念流动性的增加是通过报纸、期刊和书籍等出版物的增加、拥有收音机的人口比例的增加和电视机的增加来衡量的。所有这些都倾向于将新想法引入家庭。
When individual family members are exposed to and adopt the new ideas, the tendency is for conflict to arise and for those in conflict to become psychologically separated from each other.
当个别家庭成员接触并接受新思想时，往往会出现冲突，冲突中的人在心理上相互分离。
