根据关于妇女自主、性别与发展以及拉丁美洲的研究，我分析了个人、家庭和社区层面的因素，这些因素与丈夫在四个家庭问题上的唯一权威有关：(1)金钱管理；(2)食品采购决策；(3)药品采购决策；(4)医疗服务提供者决策。研究结果表明，丈夫的权威在家庭事务中是如何变化的，以及在金钱管理和其他被研究的决策问题上，权威的动态是如何不同的。这项研究发现，丈夫的权威不仅因个人特征而异，也因社区特征而异，因此更充分地说明了环境对家庭性别关系的影响。
Drawing on research about women's autonomy, gender, and development, and Latin America, I analyze individual, household, and community-level factors associated with husbands' sole authority with regard to four household issues: (1) money management; decision-making about (2) food purchases, (3) medicine purchases, and (4) health providers. The results point to how husbands' authority varies across household issues and how the dynamics of authority differ with regard to money management and the other decision-making issues studied. This study found that husbands' authority varied not only by individual characteristics but also by community features and thus adds to efforts to represent more fully how context matters to household gender relations.
