Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 1991.

The present study examines the effect of sociopolitical systems on gender equality of marital roles by comparing the social change process and consequences in marital roles between the Communist and capitalist Chinese societies, Mainland China and Taiwan. Their 40 years of segregation provided a natural "controlled experiment" setting to observe the treatment effect, i.e., the presence of different sociopolitical systems, while controlling for cultural background and other preconditions prior to treatment. Based on existing social-psychological theories of social change, a theoretical framework was developed to analyze and compare the process of marital role change between the communist and capitalist versions of China. Evidence for faster and greater change was found on Mainland China than in Taiwan. It was therefore hypothesized that after 40 years of segregation, people on the Mainland would have become more egalitarian with respect to marital roles, attitudinally as well as behaviorally, than people in Taiwan.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The present study examines the effect of sociopolitical systems on gender equality of marital roles by comparing the social change process and consequences in marital roles between the Communist and capitalist Chinese societies, Mainland China and Taiwan. Their 40 years of segregation provided a natural "controlled experiment" setting to observe the treatment effect, i.e., the presence of different sociopolitical systems, while controlling for cultural background and other preconditions prior to treatment. Based on existing social-psychological theories of social change, a theoretical framework was developed to analyze and compare the process of marital role change between the communist and capitalist versions of China. Evidence for faster and greater change was found on Mainland China than in Taiwan. It was therefore hypothesized that after 40 years of segregation, people on the Mainland would have become more egalitarian with respect to marital roles, attitudinally as well as behaviorally, than people in Taiwan.
520 $a The Marital Role Attitude Scale, constructed for the present study, and Marital Role Behavior Scale, adapted from the Revised Sex Role Behavior Scale, were administered to male and female college students in Mainland China and Taiwan to measure their attitudes and expected behaviors toward marital roles. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, underlying dimensions were determined for both attitude and behavior scales. Responses from 339 Taiwan students and 293 Mainland students were then compared on the four dimensions of marital role attitudes, and on expected behavioral patterns in three areas of traditional husband roles and three areas of traditional wife roles. Gender was controlled when testing societal differences. Results indicate that Mainland students professed more egalitarian views on two attitudinal dimensions: "importance of wife's career role," and "role alterations between husband and wife," while Taiwan students reported more egalitarian views on "marital institutionalized equality." No societal difference was found for "traditional husband/wife roles." In terms of expected marital behaviors, the hypothesized societal difference was found in the three areas of husband roles, namely, "decision making," and "household tasks," as well as two areas of wife roles, "breadwinning versus homemaking," and "household tasks." For the third area, "child care," the societal difference holds only for females.
520 $a Some findings contradictory to the study hypotheses have led to a refined hypothesis, that communist/closed societies may initially change sex role behaviors and attitudes faster and more drastically than a capitalist/open society, yet some regression may eventually occur. It is also suggested that degrees of regression or progression may vary with different aspects of marital equality, and thus expected societal differences are not uniform and invariant. Such a proposition needs further theoretical examination and empirical confirmation.
