No definite conclusions could be put forward as the sample size was rather small for this purpose. In yet another study Sethi and Sharma (1980) evaluated family patterns in 100 primary and 100 se- condary depressives and found that although a marginally significant di- fference existed between the two groups, this was not consistent for all grades of family jointness as recorded on Khatri's Scale (Khatri, 1970).
