Using data from NLS of Young Women, this study tests three hypotheses on the effects of marriage on sex role attitudes: (1) perceived inequality and "liberalizing" effects; (2) rationalization and "traditionalizing" effects; and (3) recovery of premarital socialization for sex roles, effects depend on "liberal" vs "traditional" socialization. Controlling for other adult socialization experiences such as education, work and parenthood, marriage had neither liberal nor traditional effects on sex role attitudes. However, marital disruptions were associated with increasingly liberal attitudes. Although young women with traditional role models were more likely to change in the traditional direction, there were no interactions with effects of marriage.
