Inhalt: "A sample of 139 married couples with young children and with relatively equal status
careers (wives were university professors or businesswomen) were interviewed about
work and home life. Considerable, traditional inequity in the distribution of child-care
tasks and chore responsibility was noted, but women were generally satisfied with
their husbands' home involvement. In the academic sample, the longer hours each spouse
worked, the more child care the other performed; in the business sample, child-care
involvement was largely determined by the husband's work hours, income, and education.
Overall, women were more self-critical than were men about their performance in home
roles, and women's role performance was rated more highly by husbands than by themselves.
Women professionals' continued use of traditional sex role standards and the importance
of attending to both partners' perspectives in studies of married life are discussed."
