我研究的互动过程中，妇女和男子谈判的家庭时间表。基于对17对双职工夫妇的50次访谈，我关注男性和女性如何以性别化的方式定义时间，对时间的使用方式施加不同的控制，并在管理日常家庭生活的过程中调整他们的时间策略。结果表明，有连续性和中断与过去：妇女继续施加更多的控制在家庭中的时间安排，但时间谈判本身已成为一个更复杂和要求更高的活动。夫妻进行这些谈判的方式反映了各种适应性策略，有些夫妻在应对当前需求时非常被动，而另一些则高度结构化，并寻求预测和控制未来。尽管有些夫妻努力在时间责任上达成平衡，但妻子们控制着时间，并最终协调家庭活动。
I examine the interactive processes by which women and men negotiate family time schedules. Based on fifty interviews with seventeen dual-earner couples, I focus on the ways men and women define time in gendered ways, exert different controls over the way time is used, and align their time strategies in the course of managing everyday family life. The results indicate that there are both continuities and discontinuities with the past: women continue to exert more control over the organization of time in families, but time negotiation itself has become a more complex and demanding activity. The way that couples carry out these negotiations reflects a variety of adaptive strategies, with some couples being very reactive in contending with present demands and others being highly structured and seeking to anticipate and control the future. Although some couples worked to negotiate balance in their time responsibilities, it was wives who maintained control over time and, ultimately, the orchestration of family activity.
