Offering and Asking for Help with Domestic Chores in Couple Relationships

Abstract

Domestic chores are a topic of great interest for couple relationships since they are a source of conflict between intimate partners. The purpose of the present research is to investigate offering and asking for help with domestic chores and the respondents’ tendency to be intuitive or verbal or to do chores alone. A vignette applied to children and married adults. The respondents were 116 boys and 116 girls and 110 male partners and 300 female partners, who completed individual questionnaires, online using Google Forms, regarding helping behaviour. Research findings indicate that men are more verbal and women are more intuitive when offering help, but when asking for help with domestic chores, men and women are statistically similar. The present research raises questions about the role of gender differences in couple relationships, and about educational solutions for couples and provides opportunities for future research.

Family functioning, parental attachment and students’ academic success

“…In addition, Rodrí guez et al (2017) highlighted the role of parental approaches and motivation in determining academic success. A multitude of family-related factors, including children's strategy and leadership, cognitive development, cultural influences, educational engagement, social interaction, and ethical values, have been revealed to impact academic outcomes (Yamamoto and Holloway, 2010;Marici et al, 2023;Iosim et al, 2022;Marici et al, 2022;Nadolu et al, 2020;Chiș et al, 2022).…”
