title: [On some characteristics of Tahitian family groups.  Standards, behavior, projection].
abstract: "[This is a] study of the evolution of the Tahitian family group through systematic analysis of a set of files of candidates for low cost housing.  This first showed a set of frequently little-known standards:  the normal nature of concubinage, relatively late marriage, the establishment of the family only considered as being effective with the third child, the generalization of adoption, etc.  The trend towards nuclear families is then questioned.  The nuclear family model is spreading rapidly and even appears to be consciously desired by many young couples.  However, the extended family in various forms (with a tendency to favour matrilineal extensions) remains preponderant and conserves an essential social integration function in Tahitian society."
