Back to the Basics: Trends in and Role Determinants of Women's Attitudes toward Housework.

Robinson, John P.; Milkie, Melissa A.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v60 n1 p205-18 Feb 1998

An understanding of basic attitudes toward housework is explored to fill a logical gap in the research into equity issues within households. Men's and women's attitudes and standards are compared. Results for women are compared with findings from a 1975 survey. Discussion relates findings to research and theory. (EMK)
