Extracted Text
The following text was automatically extracted from the image on this page using optical character recognition software:
commitment to marriage, relative attractiveness of spouses,
personal ideology, husband's perception of need for wife's
income, individual personality, and stability variables.
The results confirmed the prediction that women who
earned a large income in comparison to their spouses wielded
more power in their households than women who earned a
smaller income. Personal ideology as it pertains to gender
role ideology was the biggest discount to women's power in
the marital relationship. Some non-income-earning women
wielded more power in their marriages than predicted by
Blumberg's theory. These women benefitted from higher
educational attainments relative to their spouses, their
husbands' low potential for future earnings, and their own
high potential for future earnings.
