许多关于职业收入性别差异的研究仍然集中在人力资本和劳动力市场结构上。然而，这些变量几乎不能解释收入上的性别差异，甚至连一半都不能解释。大多数研究都考察了性别角色意识形态对职业选择的影响，而职业选择又间接影响收入。本研究使用来自国家意见研究中心综合社会调查的数据，重点关注性别角色态度与两个变量之间的关系：(a)收入，(b)女性和男性所担任的职业职位。研究结果表明，传统的性别角色意识形态导致男性和女性观察到的收入较低，而不受人力资本特征、职业背景和归属特征的影响。结果支持社会化作为基于性别的收入差异的部分解释，并表明，在某种程度上，经济奖励被用来评估性别角色期望的价值，传统的性别角色态度可能会继续改变，并导致男女之间相对平等的收入。
Much of the research on gender differences in occupational earnings still focuses on human capital and the structure of the labor market. However, these variables rarely explain even half of the gender gap in earnings. Most research has examined the impact of gender role ideology as it impacts occupational choice, which indirectly can impact earnings. Using data from the National Opinion Research Center General Social Surveys, this research focuses on the relationship between attitudes about gender roles and two variables: (a) earnings, and (b) occupational positions held by women and men. Findings show that traditional gender-role ideology contributes to lower observed earnings for both males and females, independent of the influences of human capital characteristics, occupational context, and ascribed characteristics. Results support socialization as a partial explanation for the gender-based earnings differences and suggest that, to the extent that economic rewards are used to assess the value of gender role expectations, traditional gender role attitudes might continue to change and lead to relatively equal earnings among women and men.
