传播学自诞生以来，学术版图不断扩大，产生了各种分支学科。作为新兴分支学 科，家庭传播因其对传播学的理论和实践的重要贡献而广受关注。虽然家庭传播研究起 步较晚，即使在美国，至今也不过30年的历程，却发展成为一个较为系统的研究领域。 相比在美国发展的日臻成熟，家庭传播在中国属于尚未开垦的研究绿地。扎根中国本土 文化，建构出中国家庭传播研究的自主性，应成为中国传播学研究的历史担当：即立足 中国日常家庭生活实践，提炼核心命题；借鉴吸收西方研究成果，构建科学的方法论体 系；凝聚学术共同体，强化主体性认同。

Since the birth of communication, the academic territory has been expanding continuously, and various branches of disciplines have emerged. As a new branch discipline, family communication has attracted much attention for its important contribution to the theory and practice of communication. Although the study of family communication started late, even in the United States, it has only been 30 years, but it has developed into a relatively systematic research feld. Compared with the increasingly mature development in the United States, family communication research in China is an uncultivated research greenbelt. So rooted Chinese native culture, constructing the autonomy of the research of Chinese family communication, should become the historical responsibility of Chinese communication research: namely, based on the practice of Chinese daily family life, refning the core proposition; learning and absorbing the western research results to build a scientifc methodology system; agglomerating the academic community and strengthening the subjective identity.
