    If the AGIL scheme is to be a significant framework in the comparative analysis of social structures, the dimensions proposed by the scheme must be analytically independent of one another and exhaustive. To prove this, Parsons has taken three different methods: (1) generalization of Bales' four system problems through the experimental study of small groups, (2) the combination of pattern variables, (3) deduction of dimensions by crossing the two axes, internal-external and instrumental-consummatory, He seems to finally adopt the third. It is difficult to suppose, however, that either one of them by itself can give a clear basis to the scheme since each of them include several assumptions that have not been validated.
    Taking the stand point that the all three methods are complementary, I will examine and re-construct the discussions in Working Papers in the Theory of Action with special reference to the second method, which has not been well discussed in the past. And then I will clarify that he assumes (a) that his pattern-variable scheme is already established, (b) that an act is not multi-functional, and (c) that the affinities between cirtain pattern variables are intense enough to be distinguished from the other combinations, which I call “the hypothesis of affinities.”
    Parsons himself is not clearly conscious of this hypothesis. But it occupies a very important place in his logical procedure, because it opens the way to the emperical verification of the scheme. That the AGIL scheme contains this hypothesis is a notable charactristic of his theory based on the “action theory.”

    From a sociological point of view, it is possible for us to consider many types of social communication as actualizing process of latent human relations that is determined by physical and/or social circumstances. The attempt of this study is to discuss the framework of analysis explainable of the actualizing process.
    The subject for discussion is twofold.—(1) What framework is available to this explanatory scheme? (2) What apprehension is allowed to practical communication process in the application of this framework?
    As regard to the first point, I will reconstruct the framework of the past relational analysis into a new form criticizing so-called “relational analysis” formulated by E. Rogers and others. My point of criticism is to create a categorization of various attributes which is lacked in Rogers' points of view. In my opinion, it must be necessary to categorize them in order that their relations are classified in terms of effects the relations have on the interpersonal choice of a source or a receiver. Consequently, various attributes are classified into three categories; cognitive, evaluative and behavioral attributes.
    As regard to the second point, this reconstructed relational analysis would be applied to the study of rumor transmission as a typical instance.

    We analysed the composition of family and the earning structure of it, and made clear the state of worker's family life in the Taisho Period. There were some workers thoes who had settled down in cities and held their family lives. The factory worker then took off slume and formed a stratum differring from the laborer. Although their families were nuclear ones, they were one stage of stem family cycle.
