A Study of Husbands and Wives from Dual-Career and Traditional-Career Families

Abstract: 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,… Show more

“…The positive development of both partners (St. John-Parsons, 1978), but especially the wife (Holmstrom, 1972;Rapoport & Rapoport, 1976), is seen as a primary satisfaction. In their study of 83 couples comparing dual-career to traditional families, Huser and Grant (1978) found no major differences in the ways the families operated. They did note that when the two groups differed, the dual-career couples were more inner directed and flexible in applying personal values.…”

“…For these women to choose a potentially stressful life-style seems consistent with their background. Other research (Huser & Grant, 1978) suggests that both husbands and wives in dual career families are more inner-directed and flexible in applying personal values. These characteristics are perhaps to be expected in individuals who have transcended some of the traditional values of male dominance and female subserviance and, instead, have embraced an emergent and more egalitarian life-style.…”

“…Até então, a família se configurava predominantemente como uma estrutura tradicional em que o domínio do trabalho estava associado ao homem, enquanto o domínio doméstico era responsabilidade da mulher. Dessa forma, a renda das famílias provinha do homem trabalhador e à mulher era relegado os cuidados dos filhos e da casa (ALDOUS, 1981;HUSER;GRANT, 1978).…”

“…Esta mulher é reconhecida como aquela que compartilha uma relação equitativa com o cônjuge, seja no compartilhamento das tarefas domésticas, na construção de uma trajetória profissional significativa, como também na tomada de decisão de todos os aspectos pertinentes à relação conjugal (STOLTZ-LOIKE, 1992). Assim, destoa a referência de um modelo familiar que não está amparada pela visão tradicional do homem como principal provedor e da mulher como responsável pela casa e pelos filhos, à mercê do esposo (ALDOUS, 1981;HUSER;GRANT, 1978…”
