For what and for whom do You Need More Time
The authors conducted an exploratory secondary analysis of 1434 subjects taken from the 1989 USA General Social Survey. The focus of inquiry was what people in various social roles and role configurations would spend more time on if they had an opportunity to do so. Would they choose to spend more time on paid work, housework, family, friends, leisure or relaxation? The authors hypothesize that particular roles and role configurations influence i…

Aging Couples in Dual-Career/Earner Families: Patterns of Role-Sharing
The authors present results of an empirical study of 611 mature couples in a dual-career or dual-earner famil where at least one spouse is a member of The National Retired Teacher's Association and is retired. We hypothesize that degree of role-sharing will va among mature couples in this special population on the basis of sexcted personal and social characteristics. Through discriminant analysis we identify which personal and social variables be…
Social inequality among Yugoslav women in directoral positions
Through secondary analysis of 1981 Yugoslavia Census data, we examine the women's share of high‐status directoral positions by ethnicity for each of the six Yugoslav republics and two autonomous provinces. We test the hypothesis that nations and nationalities with higher education levels exhibit greater levels of occupational gender inequality than those with less education. This hypothesis was not supported by our data. We discuss possible impli…
Women in Dual-Career Families and the Challenge of Retirement
The author reviews structural sources of strain that younger dual-career families are likely to experience as first identified by the Rapoports, and extends the analysis to families whose members are about to retire or are retired. The analysis is limited to heterosexual married couples with or without children in a dualcareer family. Objectives of this essay are twofold: (1) to lay the groundwork for a theoretically informed empirical study of m…
Exploring research possibilities on aging dual‐career families
The author examines, at the microlevel of analysis, the structural sources of strain and coping patterns younger, dual‐career families are likely to experience. This is followed by a discussion of aging spouses in dual‐career families. It is argued that spouses in dual‐career families will encounter problems in meshing their retirement plans and that sociologists need to explore this problem area since the number of dual‐career families is expect…
A Comparison of Men in Typically Male and Typically Female Operative Occupations
The authors use data from the General Social Surveys conducted from 1972 to 1985 to examine those personal and family characteristics which best discriminate men in typically male machine operative occupations from men in typically female machine operative occupations. Of the twelve personal and family characteristics considered, nine variables are found to discriminate between these two groups. The findings suggest that personal and family chara…
The significance of personal and family characteristics in occupational outcome by sex
Which personal and family characteristics best separate women in nontraditional professions from women in traditional professions? Do these same characteristics also distinguish between men in traditional and nontraditional professions? These questions are addressed through a discriminant analysis of professional respondents to the General Social Surveys from 1972 through 1985. Of the 12 personal and family characteristics considered in the study…
Work and family roles: Contemporary women in Indonesia
The question of how women in contemporary Indonesia integrate their work and family roles is addressed. Pertinent literature is reviewed and personal observations about this topic are shared. Theoretical framework is provided by Janet Chafetz who has developed a theory of sex stratification. It is concluded that family‐work role integration is probably easier to achieve in Indonesia than in the United States because there may be less sex stratifi…
Using Qualitative Data from Children to Teach about Gender Role Socialization
behaviors considered culturally appropriate for their gender. I believe personal, qualitative data provided by children can be used effectively to: 1) highlight some of the issues in gender role socialization; 2) generate research hypotheses; 3) stimulate creative research designs; 4) illustrate how gender role socialization occurs; and 5) illustrate the importance of the social context in gender role socialization. Examples of qualitative data w…
The Survival Game: Who Plays and Why
A survey of male players of the National Survival Game reveals that most participants are young, white, single, well educated, and consider themselves to be active sportsmen. A factor analysis suggests that there are three distinct reasons for participation: (a) general physical, intellectual, and social benefits, (b) aggression, and (c) achievement and control. Surprisingly, those players in the sample who had traditional sex-role attitudes part…

Female Clerical Workers in Academic Settings: An Empirical Test of the Gender Model
The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of an empirical study designed to test the gender model of work on a sample of 374 female clerical workers in academic settings. In the gender model of work, personal/family variables are given primacy in terms of explaining work attitudes and behavior. Independent variables selected for study were sex role orientation, education, having a blue-collar husband, and having three or more children. …
What does children's art work tell us about gender
Perceived male sex orientation and beliefs about rape
This paper examines the relationship between male sex role orientation and beliefs in rape myths. Five variables were controlled: religious belief (fundamentalist), academic interest (nonarts and arts), sister relationship, and maternal employment. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire mailed to 400 male college students randomly chosen from selected academic areas. Tests of correlation were used to analyze these data. The results indic…
The Enduro dirt‐bike rider: An empirical investigation
The authors report the findings of a study designed to: (1) develop a social profile of southwestern United States enduro dirt‐bike riders, (2) determine the environmental preference and attitudes of these enduro dirt‐bike riders, and (3) investigate the benefits respondents derived from participating in enduro dirt‐bike riding. Questionnaires were mailed to a random sample of 400 dirt‐bike riders who competed in enduro events held on public land…
The leisure problem and the role of the clergy
Equity, Quality, and Cost in Higher Education
The nationwide decline in college and university enrollment has produced the unprecedented problem of unemployment in academe. Under conditions of fiscal exigency, drastic measures such as reduction of programs and faculty positions have been taken or are being contemplated by the appropriate administrators. Ordinarily, the first positions eliminated by administrators are part-time and temporary faculty appointments. I question the justice and wi…
