The Effect of Social Networks on Marital Roles: A Test of the Bott Hypothesis in an Intergenerational Context.
Rogler, Lloyd H.; Procidano, Mary E.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v48 n4 p693-701 Nov 1986
Tested Bott's (1957) hypothesis that the connectedness of social networks to which spouses belong influences the segregation of marital-role activities. Results from 100 Puerto Rican migrant spouse pairs and 100 pairs of their adult married children failed to confirm Bott's hypothesis. Network characteristics appeared to be influenced by sex; marital-role characteristics by generational differences and wife's education. (Author/NB)
