This paper examines AronofF's and Crano's recent work which attempted to test the proposition that a universal feature of the nuclear family is sex role specialization along instrumental-expressive lines. It is suggested that since these authors' operationalization of the instrumental and expressive roles was too restricted, since the reliability and validity of some of their measures are suspect, and since they over-interpreted the implications of the proposition, their test was not an adequate one. Moreover, contrary to Aronoff's and Crano's conclusions, to the extent that their data can be considered valid, a careful examination of their results indicates that they support the Parsons and Bales model, rather than challenge it
