尽管已婚就业妇女所做的家务大约是其丈夫的两倍，但大多数妇女认为这种情况是公平的。本文探讨了在职妻子对家务分工公平性的看法的来源和后果。研究结果支持了一种社会交换的解释：除了婚姻之外选择较少、经济资源较少的女性更有可能认为特定的家务分工是公平的，而有更多选择的女性则认为同样的分工是不公平的。此外，认为不平等状况不公平的妇女的心理健康水平较低。
In spite of employed married women performing approximately twice as much housework as their husbands, the majority of women believe this situation to be fair. This article investigates the sources and consequences of employed wives' perceptions of fairness in the division of housework. The findings support a social exchange explanation: women who have fewer alternatives to marriage and less economic resources are more likely to view a given division of housework as fair, while women with more alternatives view the same division as unjust. Also, women who perceive an unequal situation as unfair experience lower psychological well-being.
