Abstract：Family relationships are important to an individual's physical and mental health and social stability. Traditional family relationship measurement focuses on the evaluation of individual attributes, and it is difficult to collect, quantify, and interpret data. The overall structure view focuses on the influence of the overall structural characteristics of family relationships on individuals. Social network analysis (SNA) technology helps us to quantify overall indicators such as intimacy, power levels, structural transmission, and structural balance, and realizes the unconscious measurement of the implicit structure of family relationships. This kind of quantitative indexes can combine the measurement of family relationship with mobile terminal technology, thus facilitating the simplification, standardization and remote operation.
