Straipsnis skirtas Lietuvos sociologijoje menkai nagrinėtoms tarpasmeninių santykių studijų metodologinėms problemoms. Straipsnio tikslas – išskirti dvi metodologines perspektyvas, implikuojančias skirtingas tarpasmeninių santykių poroje ir santuokoje tyrimo galimybes. Remdamasi šiuolaikiniu socialinių mokslų diskursu autorė išskiria dichotominę ir daugiakomponentę tarpasmeninių santykių poroje ir santuokoje tyrimo metodologiją bei pristato vyraujančius empirinio šių santykių tyrimo instrumentarijus. Darbe nagrinėjami klasikinėje sociologinėje teorijoje suformuoti tarpasmeninių santykių teorinių modelių pagrindai bei lyginamos Ch. H. Cooley, G. Simmelio ir A. Schützo koncepcijos, atskleidžiami jø tapatumai ir skirtumai.
There are two methodological approaches to marital relations in contemporary studies of interpersonal relations. The dichotomous approach suggests the distinction of two descriptively constructed ideal types based on two cultural ideals of interpersonal relations in pair and marriage. In contemporary theory and research these two types have different names, for example, liking/loving, romantic/companionate love, feminized/ androgenic love or addictive/confluent love. The multicomponent approach constructs the definition of interpersonal relations segregating the analytical components of interpersonal relations, for example, intimacy/ passion/commitment. The first approach is mostly applied in macrolevel studies. Because of its analytical nature the second one may be used in macro- as well as microlevel studies.
Despite the radical recent transformations in Lithuanian family, the study of marriage in Lithuanian sociology has not transcended the paradigm of the structural functionalism or “the standard sociology of the family”, using the term coined by D. Cheal. One of the possible alternatives to expand the field of family studies in Lithuania would be the sociological study of marital interpersonal relationships, which were absolutely ignored in analyzing the fast changing of the marital and family world. The aim of the article is to discuss the sociological resources, that may be exploited in studying interpersonal marital and pair relationships. The precise theoretical backgrounds for the study of these relationships were offered in the classical sociological theory of G. Simmel and phenomenological sociology of A. Schütz. Interpersonal relations are based on intimacy, which is created in the relationships by recognizing the individuality of each partner. Studying interpersonal relations the researcher has to bear in mind their multi-layered nature, because in intimate relationships intimate interactions are changed by the social normative interactions.
