Description These data were collected in order to compare the attitudes and psychological functioning of wives in traditional and egalitarian marriages. Participants were obtained by using the friendship pyramid method, and all were married with at least one child under the age of six. All the women were nominated as either traditional or egalitarian; the 60 who agreed with their nominations became participants. There are 20 egalitarian, 20 traditional working, and 20 traditional nonworking subjects. In addition, data exist from 45 participants who did not agree with their nominations.




The research instruments consisted of the following: a biographical data sheet, a division of household chores checklist, a Maferr Inventory of Feminine Values, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Attitudes Towards Female Authority, the How I Get My Way measure, Multiple Affect Adjective Check List, and the Langer 22 Item Screening Score. For each participant, there is an in-depth taped interview.



The Murray Research Archive holds all numeric file data, original record paper data, and audiotapes of the in-depth interviews from the study.
