Abstract

The research I conducted in Switzerland was part of a long-term research program that started at BYU in 1991. The purpose of that research was to learn more about the role of kindness in family systems. Kindness is defined as patterns of charitable and loving interactions. The main theoretical idea of this program is that kindness plays a much more significant role than has been realized in previous family science literature.
