Distress and the Traditional Female Role: A Comparison of Mexicans and Anglos.

Ross, Catherine E.; And Others

American Journal of Sociology, v89 n3 p670-82 Nov 1983

Married women are more psychologically distressed than married men, but this gap is less pronounced among Mexican Americans than among Anglos. However, this research did not find support for the hypothesis that employment was related to greater happiness for Anglo women but not for Mexican American women. (Author/IS)
