취업기혼여성이 인지한 경제적 자원 기여도와 성역할태도가 부부의사결정 유형에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of wivesʼ economic contributions and sex-role attitudes on couplesʼ decision-making for use in family education and to improve stable couple relationships. This study targeted 286 married women who have a child or children. The main results of this study indicate that almost half of the participants showed that their couple decision-making, economic resource contributions and sex-role attitudes were husbanddominated. Additionally, the participantsʼ most modern sex-role attitudes were toward gender stereotypes, though the most conservative attitudes were toward women and menʼs household lives. The variables that distinguished between husband-dominated and equality couples were age, education level, spouse's average income and resource evaluation; related, age, education level, spouseʼs average income, contribution toward household management and the occupational life of the woman were the variables that distinguished between husbanddominated and wife-dominated couples. This study also revealed the variables that affect couples decision- making, demonstrating the necessity of considering several variables in the approach to the decision-making process of individual couples.
