O'Hare, Margaret, "Differentiation in Sex Role Attitudes and Marital Happiness," Unpublished Master's thesis, Virginia Commonwealth University, 1988.


Abstract:

Men with traditional sex role views are more likely to report a happy marriage with preschool age children and a traditional wife than men with nontraditional views in the same scenario. Traditional women tended to be happier than nontraditional women in this scenario and when their husbands work 40-59 hours a week than 20-39 hours.
