“…However, even if the nexus between vignettes and real‐life situations remains not fully specified, there is evidence of a relation between the former and the latter (see, e.g., Ganong and Coleman , ; Horne ). This problem has been already acknowledged by several scholars (Antonides and Kroft ; Bernstein and Crosby ; Kluwer ), but in their view the advantages of the vignette method are well superior to its disadvantages . Therefore, we consider this method worth of further attention for future research, perhaps experimenting its application in a mixed‐method (i.e., qualitative and quantitative) framework.…”

“…First, we introduce a methodological innovation with the adoption of the vignette technique in a survey‐based experimental design, which in our opinion is the best strategy (see next section) for addressing the earlier studies' methodological limitations. Vignettes in experimental designs have seldom been used in family research; to the best of our knowledge, only few studies (Antonides and Kroft ; Kluwer ) addressed the topic tackled here, but did not test equity or gender ideology hypotheses and relied on a small convenience sample.…”

The Interplay between Equity and Gender Ideology in Perceived Housework Fairness: Evidence from an Experimental Vignette Design

Previous survey studies on the perceived fairness of the division of housework have suffered from limitations resulting from the use of observational data, namely reverse causation, unobserved heterogeneity, and the difficulty of estimating more than one causal effect at once. This article overcomes these limitations by using an innovative method in this research field: a survey-based vignette design combining the benefits of experiments with a higher capability of generalization. From our findings based on Italian primary data, we argue that equity and gender ideology theories explain different elements of the fairness evaluation process and are not mutually exclusive. Consistent with equity theory, under certain conditions it is considered fair to exchange paid and unpaid time. However, unlike equity theory, the economic value of time is not an issue. Moreover, a request to renegotiate housework is more legitimate if it redresses a prior inequity and, for women, irrespective of the asker's gender. Gender ideology affects partners' equity considerations, weighting their contribution to paid and unpaid work differently.

“…In spite of this potential, the approach has not yet gained much ground in consumer research studies that use qualitative methodologies. Within consumer research, previous applications of the method have primarily been aimed at using vignettes as experimental inputs in quantitative research designs (e.g., Antonides & Kroft, 2005; East, 2000; Mattila & Cranage, 2005; Page & Colby, 2003; Walchli & Landman, 2003), although a few have used vignettes to obtain access to consumption‐related interaction processes (e.g., Kirchler, 1989; Supphellen & Nelson, 2001).…”

“…Within this tradition, the method is used in experiments to analyze relationships and to estimate models based on respondents' reactions to a systematic variation of the contents (variables) of the vignettes (Alexander & Becker, 1978; Finch, 1987; Jergeby, 1999). Its use in consumer research has largely continued along this tradition (e.g., Antonides & Kroft, 2005).…”

The use of vignettes for qualitative consumer research is discussed in this article. More specifically, vignettes are proposed as a useful research technique for conducting systematic and rigorous studies of consumer interaction processes, in particular as these relate to family consumption issues. Following an overview of methodological and practical problems of studying consumption interaction processes in families, a discussion of how vignettes may be used to enhance knowledge of family decision-making processes in real-life contexts is presented. Design implications are discussed and strategies for applying the vignette method are outlined and illustrated by two recent studies of pro-environmental consumer behavior in a family context. The paper concludes with a discussion of the benefits and the possible pitfalls of using vignettes.

“…In more recent years a number of authors have examined decision-making between couples. Some of these studies were conducted with married and cohabiting couples (Antonides & Kroft, 2005;Bartley, Blanton, & Gilliard, 2005;Blair 1993;Gager & Sanchez, 2003;Marks et al, 2001;Mickelson, Claffey, & Williams, 2006) others have considered engaged (Burgoyne, Clarke, Reibstein, & Edmunds, 2006) or newly married couples (Pittman, Kerpelman, & Solheim, 2001;Quek & Knudson-Martin, 2006) and child-free couples (Ting-Toomey, 1984). Still others have considered couples at various transitions in the life cycle such as couples in the transition to parenthood (Grote & Clark, 2001), first married and remarried couples (Allen, Baucom, Burnett, Epstein, & Rankin-Esquer, 2001;Orleans et al, 1989), retired couples (Kulik, 2001), or older couples (Mackey, Diemer, & O'Brien, 2004).…”

Melby. To the committee members, thank-you for challenging me to do this work and create an improved final product. A special thanks to my dear friend and colleague, Teske Drake for her feedback and support. I also want to thank my family and friends for their continual words of encouragement throughout graduate school. There were times that I was exhausted and your words urged me forward. In many ways, we are all working toward something and even, you all deserve credit for your efforts as well. Heartfelt love and gratitude goes to my husband, Steve, for his love and unrelenting support not only in school but in all areas of life. It is through your support, prayers, words, and love that I come this far. I love you dearly and am grateful to you for encouraging me to take the time I needed to get things done even when it meant less time together as a family. I also thank my children, Kian and Marae for the love and laughter you bring to me. You have all brought me so much joy and I am truly blessed to have you in my life! iv
