A model specifying that certain subjective beliefs and structural conditions affect the symbolic meaning wives give to their household labor divisions was tested on 144 retirement-age married women. Results indicate that perceptions of spousal support mediate the relationship between a couple's division of household labor and the wife's well-being. Wives perceive less spousal support when housework divisions are more unequal favoring husbands. Lack of spousal support in turn leads to wives' lower marital happiness and increased depression. This relationship is stronger for employed wives than homemakers, but is not diminished either by a wife's traditionalism or by her husband's employment.
一个表明某些主观信念和结构条件会影响妻子赋予其家务分工的象征意义的模型，在144名退休年龄的已婚女性身上进行了测试。结果表明，配偶支持感在夫妻家务分工与妻子幸福感之间起中介作用。当家务分工更不平等且有利于丈夫时，妻子感受到的配偶支持更少。缺乏配偶支持进而导致妻子婚姻幸福感降低和抑郁情绪增加。这种关系在职职妻子中比家庭主妇中更强，但不会因妻子的传统观念或丈夫的就业情况而减弱。
