Changes in women's work patterns and claims that men share in family responsibilities have prompted a rethinking of women's roles in the workplace and family. The current status of women's roles are addressed by studying the effects of structural and demographic factors on women's views of their work-family roles and by comparison men's views. / Data were gathered from a national sample of 3000 women and 1000 men as part of a 1985 survey of women's changing status in society. Items from the survey were summed to form an index measuring traditionalism towards women's roles. / Education, household income, occupation, employment, marital status, parental responsibility, age, race, and region are effective predictors of women's views. All except race, employment, and education also predict men's views. Gender is important with women less traditional than men. Within races, gender is especially important with black women less traditional than white women and black men as traditional as white men. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-03, Section: A, page: 0639. / Major Professor: Patricia Yancey Martin. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.
