这项调查将最近关于妻子和丈夫家务劳动变化的研究置于众所周知的不同类型家务调查之间报告差异的背景下。对《全国家庭和家庭调查》(1988)中关于家务工作时间的直接提问报告和1985年《美国人时间使用情况》中的时间日记报告之间的“报告差距”的分析表明,丈夫和妻子都夸大了他们对家务的贡献。此外,性别态度、家务总量、阶级、教育程度、收入、家庭规模和就业状况共同显著影响多报,尽管这些变量对妻子和丈夫的作用方式不同。结论是,社会对男女适当家庭角色的看法不断变化和不平衡,导致了报告中的偏见,这些偏见不一定与家务行为的实际变化相对应。这些发现让人们对当代丈夫比前辈做更多家务的说法产生了怀疑。
This investigation places recent research about changes in wives' and husbands' domestic labor in the context of well-known reporting differences between different kinds of housework surveys. An analysis of the “reporting gap” between direct-question reports of housework hours from the National Survey of Families and Households (1988) and time-diary reports from Americans' Use of Time, 1985, shows that both husbands and wives overreport their housework contributions. Furthermore, gender attitudes, total housework, class, education, income, family size, and employment status together significantly affect the overreport, although the variables operate in different ways for wives and husbands. It is concluded that changing and uneven social perceptions of the appropriate domestic roles of women and men have resulted in reporting biases that do not necessarily correspond to actual changes in housework behavior. These findings cast doubt on claims that contemporary husbands are doing more housework than their predecessors.
