This study investigated American heterosexual emerging adults' evaluations and reasoning about the fairness of their parents' gendered division of household labor, their future expectations of their own division, and in a third-party situation. A total of 161 American heterosexual (88.20% European American; 50.93% cisgender women), emerging adults ( = 20.60, = 1.21) participated in this study. The majority of participants evaluated their parents' and future expected division to be fair. On the other hand, participants were less likely to consider a hypothetical gendered division fair. Equality justification usage, as well as reported parental childcare division predicted differences in fairness evaluations. The present study highlights the importance of employing methods that can capture the complex and multi-faceted nature of fairness evaluations and reasoning about the gendered division of household labor.
本研究调查了美国异性恋的新兴成年人对父母家务劳动性别分工公平性的评价和推理、他们对自己未来分工的期望,以及在第三方情境中的情况。共有161名美国异性恋(88.20%为欧裔美国人;50.93%为顺性别女性)新兴成年人(平均年龄 = 20.60岁,标准差 = 1.21)参与了本研究。大多数参与者认为他们父母的分工以及未来预期的分工是公平的。另一方面,参与者不太可能认为假设的性别分工是公平的。平等理由的使用以及报告的父母育儿分工预测了公平性评价的差异。本研究强调了采用能够捕捉家务劳动性别分工公平性评价和推理的复杂多面性质的方法的重要性。
