مؤشرات البناء الطبقي القبلي و التغيرات الجيلية : دراسة ميدانية في ضوء نظرية لويد وارنر في الأردن

Abstract EN

This study aims to reveal Tribal Class Structure Indicators in the Jordanian Society between the two generations of fathers and sons.

To achieve its objectives, this study was applied on (378) fathers and (394) sons who live in the North East Badia Regions of Al Mafraq Governorate.

The concentration was placed on the males as they represent the frontage of the masculine parental tribalconstruction.

The results revealed a certain variance between the two generations of fathers and sons in terms of favouring their relatives who hold higher certificates to head the tribe's decisions, regardless of their kinship or their traditional notability for the favour of the son's generation in a high degree.

On the opposite side, the study revealed that there is no variance between these two generations in preferring their relatives of the higher income or higher posts in the state institutions to head the tribe decisions, regardless of their kinship or traditional notability.

The study pointed out that the social and economic transformations, that Jordan had witnessed, weakened the formal solidarity of the tribe but did not nullify the essential solidarity represented by their loyalty to the tribe, as the tribe is still symbolizing traditional class construction and referential social construction.

The results clarified that all members of the sample participate in the tribe occasions and consider themselves loyal to the tribe, regardless of their economic, social or occupational conditions.
