Resumen

Es poco lo que se conoce sobre la relación que existe entre el tipo y tamaño de la comunidad y las características maritales de la población en los países no occidentales. Con el propósito de aclarar un poco este tema se examina en este trabajo la relación de algunas características maritales seleccionadas en una continuidad urbano-rural de Taiwan. Esta continuidad urbano-rural fué construida sobre la base del iomaño de la población y los tipos administrativos de las comunidades; los principales hallazgos de esie estudio son confrontados con las variaciones que se dan en Estados Unidos. Los resultados indican que esta continuidad urbano-rural tiene un alto valor de predicción o de discriminación para ciertas características maritales.

Summary

Relatively little is known about the relation of type and size of community to the marital characteristics of the population of non-Western countries. In an effort to throw further light on this subject, this paper examines the relation of selected marital characteristics to a rural-urban continuum for Taiwan. The continuum was constructed on the basis of both the population sizes and the administrative types of communities, and the main findings of this study are contrasted with these variations in the United States. The results indicate that the continuum has high predictive or discriminative power for certain marital characteristics.
