Identity and Couples' Housework Sharing

Author

Abstract

In this article, I conduct a virtual experiment to examine what kinds of house work-sharing behaviors are exhibited by husbands in situations where the husband's proportion of work hours outside the home is relatively low. The results of a survey conducted in January 2008 showed that the loss of a husband's gender identity has an effect not only on the husband's housework-sharing behaviors, but also on those of his wife, and they support the idea that husbands are therefore quite likely to engage in gender display behaviors.
