| This study was designed to examine the effects of four factors, religious beliefs, relative resources, time availability, and gender ideology, on the amount of housework done by husbands and wives in the United States. Multiple regressions were used to analyze the data which came from the 1994 General Social Survey of the National Opinion Research Center. The findings suggested that the amount of housework done by males was inversely related to the traditional gender ideology they hold, but not related to their religious beliefs, relative resources, or time availability. The amount of housework done by females was directly related to fundamental religious beliefs they held and was inversely related to how many relative resources they had, but not related to their time availability or gender ideology. |
