As much as I welcome more actual science on this topic, I don't think the words 'new key' are at all justified here (and they aren't used in tfa).
New to some WEIRD nuclear families maybe, but not actually new or surprising.
- myspy 3y agoWhat‘s a weird nuclear family? That’s the mode of operation. Without grand parents it gets harder. Single parents have it the hardest. Relationships to neighbors are not that deep.

- lettergram 3y agoImo it’s a derogatory term people in … alternative circles, like to use.
- ithkuil 3y agoIs "alternative circles" also a derogatory term? I
- brvsft 3y agoI'm guessing the term is supposed to point out the idea that what we think of as normal is actually not.
- lettergram 3y agoExcept it is normal to have a nuclear family? https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/ageing/household_size_and_composition_around_the_world_2017_data_booklet.pdf https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publicatio... It’s actually more common in the rest of the world than Europe and the US. It’s kind of crazy to say it’s WEIRD to expect nuclear families, when it’s the west that is the least likely (still the majority have nuclear families).
- dave4420 3y agoIt was invented by Western psychologists upon discovering that the results of their experiments on Western psychology students did not, after all, generalise to results that were applicable to all humans. If you’re hanging round in circles that use it as a derogatory term, you’re hanging round in the wrong circles.
- stareatgoats 3y agoThe title had to be shortened - 'new' was the best I could think of. But it can be justified I think, both in relation to the gist of the article and the original title. If this was well established knowledge that that is new to me at least, albeit not really surprising, admittedly. (tfa? I couldn't get a hit on that acronym anywhere)
- closewith 3y agoTFA is "the fucking article".
- csa 3y ago> (tfa? I couldn't get a hit on that acronym anywhere) “the fucking article” I recommend using urban dictionary if a generic search doesn’t yield a result that makes any sense.
- stareatgoats 3y agoah, thanks. Did try UD but it didn't show up for me on the first nor second page. edit: seems I missed the top entry!
- csa 3y agoInteresting. First result for me. I wonder if they adjust search results by geo.
