Abstract | A summary of an unpublished special problem by Katherine K. Hill, this paper found that Missouri Delta women are more similar than different despite varying economic levels. A Marriage Role Expectation Inventory of 37 statements was given to groups of women. The groups included professional and subprofessional Headstart personnel, members of Extension Clubs, parents of Headstart students, and limited-income women enrolled in Office of Economic Opportunity programs. Scores were tabulated according to income, education, and age on a traditional versus equalitarian scale. The results indicated that higher income levels do not mean more equalitarian attitudes about the roles of men and women in marriage; women from the lowest income groups were not more traditionally inclined. The amount of formal education had a positive relation to equalitarian concepts with women with elementary or less education seeming more traditional and valuing manual homemaking skills. College educated women attached less importance to homemaking skills. They attached more value to kindness in husbands, while less educated women attached greater importance to ambition and being a provider. (RS) |
