This study examines and compares shared time for same-sex and different-sex coresident couples using large, nationally representative data from the 2003-2016 American Time Use Survey (ATUS). We compare the total time that same-sex couples and different-sex couples spend together; for parents, the time they spend together with children; and for both parents and nonparents, the time they spend together with no one else present and the time they spend with others (excluding children). After we control for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the couples, women in same-sex couples spend more time together, both alone and in total, than individuals in different-sex arrangements and men in same-sex couples, regardless of parenthood status. Women in same-sex relationships also spend a larger percentage of their total available time together than other couples, and the difference in time is not limited to any specific activity.
本研究利用来自 2003-2016 年美国时间使用调查（ATUS）的大型全国代表性数据，考察并比较了同性和异性同住伴侣的共享时间。我们比较了同性伴侣和异性伴侣在一起的总时间；对于父母来说，他们与孩子在一起的时间；以及对于父母和非父母来说，他们与没有其他人在场的人在一起的时间，以及他们与其他人（不包括孩子）在一起的时间。在控制了伴侣的人口统计学和社会经济特征之后，无论是否有子女，同性伴侣中的女性在一起的时间（无论是单独还是总共）都比异性伴侣中的个体以及同性伴侣中的男性多。处于同性关系中的女性也比其他伴侣更多地将其总可用时间用于彼此相处，而且时间差异并不仅限于任何特定的活动。
