Levels of involvement in household work were compared for sibling pairs in 172 families. In families where mothers had high work demands, daughters performed significantly more work than sons, and younger sisters did more work than older brothers. The gap in siblings' gender role attitudes was significantly greater in families wherein girls shouldered a greater share of tasks. (DLH)
