| Family is the first institution that initiate social values and behaviors among their members. Egyptian rural because of conservation of family values, with the starting and developing of modernization, the new generations started turning away from the extended families to the nuclear families, so a great variation happened in family and social values which ranges from the traditional values in extended families and modern nuclear families. The main objective of the study is to determine the relationship of family structure and social values, in contemporary Egyptian rural society. A purposive sample of 110 rural families was selected from ElMonira village, El- Kanater El-Khairia district, Qalyubia governorate 55 of them were nuclear and 55 were extended families. Data were collected during July and August 2016 from 330 participants (220 parents and 110 child or youth) using standardized PVQ questionnaire and focus group discussions (FGDs).Descriptive statistics and “T test” Were used to analyze data. Findings showed that there was no significant differences between children and their parents’ social value in the studied families but a significant differences were found between parents and children in relation to social value in nuclear families, this is due to the effect of industrialization and modernization which have changed the concept of family. Finally, findings of FGDs reported that the family values are changing so fast from extended family of which the social values and kinship network is so strong, to companionship nuclear families in which the social values and kinship network is less strong. | ||
