Husbands and wives of dual‐career families were compared with husbands and wives of traditional‐career families on the variables of inner‐directedness, self‐actualizing values, existentiality, self‐regard, and self‐acceptance. Also, comparisons between the two sets of couples were made on shared and unshared interests. Our findings indicate that the husbands and wives in our sample of dual‐career families do not differ in major ways from our sample of husbands and wives of traditional‐career families; however, in every instance of difference, the direction of difference supports the view that husbands and wives of dual‐career families are more inner‐directed and flexible in applying personal values than husbands and wives of traditional‐career families.
