Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power structure in the Roberts' household appears to be patriarchal, as Daniel is the primary decision-maker and exercises control over the household, including his wife and children. A matriarchal structure would involve the mother or a female figure being the primary decision-maker and exercising control. An authoritarian structure may also be present, but it would still fall under the patriarchal umbrella as it suggests a very rigid hierarchy with the father at the top. An egalitarian structure would involve a more equal distribution of power among household members, which is not evident in this scenario.
