The More You Have, the More You Do: The Relationship between Wife's Employment, Sex-Role Attitudes, and Household Behavior.

Beckman, Linda J.; Houser, Betsy Bosak

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v4 n2 p160-73 Win 1979

Explores the relationship between wife's employment, sex-role traditionalism, and reported division of household tasks and decisions. Findings suggest that despite differences among women in sex-role traditionalism and employment status, most women say that they and their spouses divide tasks in a traditional sex-role fashion.
