Race, work, and welfare: Attitudes toward the required employment of young mothers who use welfare
Changes in the Employment Continuity of Succeeding Cohorts of Young Women
This article examines employment continuity for three succeeding cohorts of women in their 20s who would be typically experiencing early life-cycle transitions to marriage and parenthood. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women, women's work attachment is analyzed over 5-year periods during the 1970s, a decade of rapid social change. Two competing explanations are presented to account for the expected increase in women's employment …

The Family Life Cycle and Spouses' Time in Housework
Previous research has shown the changing degree to which spouses are involved in work and family roles over the course of married life. Drawing on those major life-cycle trends, this study tests hypotheses that link variation in husbands' and wives' participation in housework to stages of the family life cycle. We expected that women would spend less time in housework before and after childbearing stages, while their husbands would spend more tim…
Depression and the Social Dimensions of the Full-Time Housewife Role
This article examines the determinants of depression among a sample of 528 married, white housewives residing in the southeastern U.S. The multiple regression analysis reveals that low total family income, dissatisfaction with family life and the housewife role, and few extra-familial social contacts are significantly associated with depression. A major finding is that the impact of social contacts in reducing depression is conditioned by the hou…

Women's Work Expectations and Labor-Market Experience in Early and Middle Family Life-Cycle Stages
Two issues are addressed in this research: the effect of work expectations for age 35 on labor-market attachment during childrearing years, and the extent to which work expectations interacted with changes in women's sociodemographic characteristics to influence the extent of employment. The National Longitudinal Survey of the Labor Market Experiences of Young Women is used in estimating the work history of women in the sample. Findings indicate …
Expected Versus Actual Work Roles of Women
This paper examines the impact of women's long-range work plans for mid life on actual work behavior at that age for a cohort of women who were 35 in 1980. We hypothesized that work plans would significantly affect actual behavior at mid life, and moreover, would modify the effects of many variables typically associated with women's employment. Our findings indicate plans did influence subsequent behavior, largely reflecting the realization of pl…
Ex Cathedra Blumer or Ex Libris Mead
Blumer (1980) hypothesizes we have misrepresented his views and those of Mead on scientific inquiry and social behavior, and that we have erroneously concluded their methodological perspectives diverge. Ironically, Blumer's paper exemplifies two of the fundamental problems we noted in his methodological perspective. First, he fails to specify the criterion in terms of which he makes the judgment of misrepresentation. Second, he fails to bring sys…
Mead vs. Blumer: The Divergent Methodological Perspectives of Social Behaviorism and Symbolic Interactionism
An examination of the methodological perspectives of Mead and Blumer establishes considerable divergence in emphasis and consequence. Their diverse epistemologies rest upon equally diverse ontological assumptions. Blumer's naturalistic inquiry neither compliments Mead's methodological perspective nor facilitates the examination of Mead's theoretical ideas. Several experimental studies of 'taking the attitude of other are discussed, one by Mead's …
The Changing Cost of Being a Black Woman
Changes in the economic position of black women ages 26 to 64 who work full-time, year-round are compared to white women, utilizing the 1960 and 1970 Public Use Samples. When black women are given the average charactensncs of whites, and when their differential rates of return are compared, the average "cost" of being a black woman has diminished However, the average amount black women lose because they are inequitably distributed on these charac…
