Sex Role Attitudes, Female Employment, and Marital Satisfaction Journal of Comparative Family Studies 9 (Spring 1978): 53-67 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: Canadian Ethnic Studies Keyword(s): Employment; Husbands, Attitudes; Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Marriage; Sex Roles; Wives, Attitudes Substantial increases in the proportion of married females in the labor force have occurred during the past 25 years. This has prompted family scholars to ask whether or not the employment of the wife might affect marital satisfaction. Although this question has been examined by a number of scholars, research on this topic needs to be extended in at least two ways. First, sex role attitudes of husband and wife would appear to be important but have not been examined thoroughly. Second, other variables known to be associated with female employment have not been adequately controlled. The purpose of this paper is to examine with appropriate controls the effects of sex role attitudes and the wife's employment status on marital satisfaction. |
