The Effect of Husband's Occupational Attainment on Wife's Achievement.

Philliber, William W.; Vannoy-Hiller, Dana

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v52 n2 p323-29 May 1990

Analyzed data from 308 dual-earner couples to determine how much husband's occupational attainment limits that of the wife. Both direct effects of husband occupation and wife's education, as well as interaction between the spouses, were found to depend on competitiveness, role expectations, and gender role identities of spouses.
