我们研究了双职工家庭和单职工家庭儿童的性别类型家务劳动，以及儿童工作与父母性别角色行为和态度之间的一致性对儿童适应的影响。参与者是152名9-12岁的新生儿（85名女孩，67名男孩）和他们的父母。所有父亲和50%的母亲都有工作。在家庭访谈中，父母对他们的性别角色态度进行评分，孩子对他们的能力、压力和亲子关系进行评分。在7个晚上的电话采访中，孩子和父母描述了他们当天的家务。分析显示，在儿童和父母参与传统的女性和男性任务方面，性别和收入地位存在差异。只有在单亲家庭中父亲和儿子的情况下，父母和孩子的任务投入水平之间的相关性才显著。关于任务表现和儿童适应之间的联系，我们发现男孩的性别类型任务与其父亲的性别角色行为和态度之间的不一致与较差的社会心理功能有关，而这一模式在女孩身上并不适用。
We examined sex‐typed housework of children from dual‐ and single‐earner families and its implications for children's adjustment as a function of congruencies between children's work and parents' sex‐role behaviors and attitudes. Participants were 152 firstborm 9–12‐year‐olds (85 girls, 67 boys) and their parents. All fathers and 50% of mothers were employed. In home interviews parents rated their sex‐role attitudes, and children rated their competence, stress, and parent‐child relationships. In 7 nightly telephone interviews, children and parents described their household tasks for that day. Analyses revealed sex and earner‐status differences in children's and parents' involvement in traditionally feminine and masculine tasks. Correlations between levels of parents' and children's task involvement were significant only in the case of fathers and sons in single‐earner families. Regarding the connections between task performance and child adjustment, we found that incongruency between boys' sex‐typed tasks and their fathers' sex‐role behaviors and attitudes was linked to poorer psychosocial functioning, a pattern that did not hold for girls.
