这项研究运用交换主义和互动主义的观点，探索了一种以前被忽视的当代婚姻模式：妻子是高级伴侣。黄蜂婚姻是指婚姻和家庭生活围绕妻子的工作或职业而不是丈夫的工作而组织起来的婚姻。我们发现，WASP婚姻同时存在三个社会条件：妻子传统上从事男性工作，丈夫工作的灵活性，以及没有孩子。虽然婚姻模式对妻子和丈夫来说都是昂贵的，特别是在被认为是越轨的情况下，但使用了越轨中和技术来最大限度地减少成本。也有独特的奖励归因于WASP的军事图案。我们建议，婚姻角色现在更愿意进行谈判，当婚姻伴侣感觉到一个有价值的选择时，传统的婚姻角色期望可能会被重新评估。WASP的婚姻模式目前正被一些夫妇选择，并越来越有可能被其他人考虑。
Using exchange and interactionist perspectives, this research explores a previously ignored contemporary marriage pattern: Wives as Senior Partners. WASP marriages are those in which marriage and family life are organized around the wife's job or career rather than the husband's. We found that there are three social conditions concurrent with WASP marriages: wives having traditionally male jobs, flexibility of husbands' jobs, and absence of children. Although the marital pattern was costly to both wives and husbands, especially in being perceived as deviant, techniques of deviance neutralization were used to minimize costs. There were also unique rewards attributed to the WASP maritalpattern. We suggest that marital roles are now more open to negotiation and that traditional marital role expectations may be re-evaluated when marital partners perceive a rewarding alternative. The WASP marital pattern is currently being chosen by some couples and is increasingly likely to be considered by others.
