本文调查了夫妻在工作和家务上花费的时间划分与受访者对伴侣关系满意度之间的关系。专业化和公平的理论概念被用来推导假设。专业化是指任务内容的不同，而时间平等则表明用于家庭需要的时间相似。我们研究了时间公平和专业化与关系满意度的直接影响，但更重要的是，我们调查了平等主义性别角色态度的人和有年幼子女的人之间的关联在多大程度上不同。我们分析了英国家庭调查的二元数据。令人惊讶的是，没有主要影响的时间公平和专业化的关系satisfactions.Our结果表明，男性平等的性别角色的态度，时间公平积极影响关系满意度。此外，专业化与男性平等的性别角色态度的关系满意度较低。对于妇女或儿童的存在，没有发现条件效应。
This article investigates associations between couples' divisions of time spent on employment and household chores and respondents' satisfaction with their partner relationship. Theoretical notions of specialization and equity were used to derive hypotheses. Specialization relates to differentiation in the content of tasks, whereas equity in hours indicates similarity in time devoted to family needs. We study direct effects of hours-equity and specialization with relationship satisfaction, but more importantly we investigate to what extent associations differ for people with egalitarian gender role attitudes, and for people with young children. We analysed dyadic data from the British Household Panel Survey. Surprisingly, no main effects of hours-equity and specialization on relationship satisfaction were found. Our results did show that for men with egalitarian gender role attitudes, equity in hours positively affected relationship satisfaction. Moreover, specialization was related to lower relationship satisfaction for men with egalitarian gender role attitudes. Conditional effects were not found for women or for the presence of children.
