Development of Work and Family Commitments: A Study with Women and Men Medical Students.

Grant, Linda; And Others

Journal of Family Issues, v8 n2 p176-98 Jun 1987

Women and men medical students' (N=192) intended commitments to profession and family were explored at three times during their training. Over time all students' intended hours in profession increased and hours in family decreased. Global-level measures suggested change in division of domestic labor among women and men, but specific-level measures suggested persistence of traditional patterns. (Author/ABL)
