Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a prior associative experiment on the segment of the term kinship, which included the lexemes husband, family, girl, boy, folk and sister. We have also analyzed the reactions indicated for the stimulus-words wedding, home and hearth. Registered associations, in general, confirmed the characteristics of a Romanian family, maintaining the traditional values and inherited by the emerging generation.
