Suppose that tomorrow the new york times reports that scientists have found that spouses' satisfaction in marriage is related to their ability to recognize each other's scent when blindfolded. which branch of family sociologists would likely be interested in these findings?

The branch of family sociologists that would likely be interested in these findings is  the theoretical sociologist which is a sociological theory with a set of ideas that provides an explanation for human society.  Theories are selective in terms of their priorities and perspectives and the data they define as significant.

The most important of these is the distinction between Structural and Social action theories.

Explanation:

A theoretical perspective is a set of assumptions about reality that inform the questions we ask and the kinds of answers we arrive at as a result. Often, sociologists use multiple theoretical perspectives simultaneously as they frame research questions, design and conduct research, and analyze their results.

Sociologists develop theories to explain social phenomena. A theory is a proposed relationship between two or more concepts. In other words, a theory is explanation for why or how a phenomenon occurs.

Sociology includes three major theoretical perspectives: the functionalist perspective, the conflict perspective, and the symbolic interactionist perspective (sometimes called the interactionist perspective, or simply the micro view).

The best theoretical perspective to use in sociology is functionalism because it emphasizes the contributions (functions) of each part of society. It includes micro theory or small/middle/large theories.

A theoretical definition is a proposed way of thinking about potentially related events. Theoretical definitions contain built-in theories; they cannot be simply reduced to describing a set of observations. A theoretical definition of a term can change, over time, based on the methods in the field that created it.

uses : -

1.aneroid barometers primarily measure whether pressure is rising or falling.

2.aneroid barometers are often used for reading pressure in homes and recreational boats.  

3.other uses may include barographs in meteorology and altimeters in modern aircraft.  

4.this type of barometer can announce whether a high or low pressure system is coming or whether it is becoming more intense.  

5.there are different types of aneroid barometers, such as the altimeter, which measures altitude, or distance above sea level.  

6.another example is a barograph, which is a modified aneroid barometer that provides constant readings of atmospheric pressure on graph paper.  

7.when used in this capacity, the aneroid barometer can store a week's worth of data.

android diameter a device for measuring atmospheric pressure , often specially calibrated for use as an altimeter ,consisting of a box or chamber partially exhaused of air, having an elastic top and a pointer to indicate the degree of compression of the top caused by the external air
