Mit der steigenden Bildungsbeteiligung von Frauen erhöht sich auch der Anteil an Paarbeziehungen, in denen beide Partner über ein Potenzial für professionelle Karrieren verfügen; dieses Potenzial wird jedoch nur sehr begrenzt in Doppelkarrieren umgesetzt. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge zum Thema (Un)Gleichheitsproduktion und -reproduktion in Dual Career Couples. Hierbei spielen Machtstrukturen in den Paarbeziehungen eine wesentliche Rolle, die von individuellen Eigenschaften (wie Geschlecht, Alter, Profession), paarspezifischen Merkmalen und Aushandlungen sowie von gesellschaftlichen und institutionellen Opportunitätsstrukturen beeinflusst werden.

Little is known about the ways in which men's professional and personal lives are affected by participation in dual career families. This paper presents findings from an exploratory, in-depth interview study which investigated this issue by probing the individual perceptions of husbands in dual career families. A majority of male respondents reported positive professional, familial, and marital consequences of dual career membership. A small group was less satisfied. Sources of variation in satisfaction are presented and five factors which appear to be linked to subjects' differential reactions are identified.

The three transitions of a dual-career couple -- Transition 1: How can we make this work?: When the honeymoon ends -- Struggling to do it all -- Achieving interdependence -- Transition 2: What do we really want?: Hitting the wall -- Turmoil and conflict -- Transitioning to a new path -- Transition 3: Who are we now?: Loss and limits -- Exploring wider horizons -- Couples that work.

This study aimed to describe the development of children's religious life from a family of dual career families, namely families where both father and mother both work outside the home and undergo certain professions. How is the parenting style and pattern of education applied by parents to keep the child's awareness and religious attitudes in good condition, and what factors are the supporters and inhibitors of the development of a child's religious spirit in the dual career family ?. Child restrictions referred to in this study are children in the range of primary school age, namely between the ages of 7-11 years. Based on data collected from 6 families of working mothers' fathers who are respondents, the results of the study show that families generally realize that parents are still the first and foremost place for child growth and development, so that the main function of the family is not to be educated, caring, socializing children so that children can carry out their functions in society properly, remains a top priority. Parenting that is applied in the family is generally appropriate, namely democratic parenting and education patterns as a place to socialize the ideal second child, namely the school environment that has an orientation on spiritual development in addition to academic orientation. While the supporting and inhibiting factors of the process of developing mindfulness in children are generally influenced by the internal and external factors of children, the school environment, the community and most importantly parents.

BIbliography: pages 142-155. ; The steadily increasing numbers in employed married women and the rise of feminist sex-role ideology are factors indicating change in the role and status of women in Western society. There is movement away from the traditional gender-based role allocation towards increased role-sharing. This trend is embodied in the dual-career family, which necessitates adaptive changes in individual men and women and in government and institutional policies. To better understand the current nature of the dual-career family, this study compared fourteen dual-career husbands and wives with fourteen traditional husbands and wives on four selected variables, namely: (1) family-functioning, primarily to assess whether dual-career and traditional families function equally well; (2) sex-role ideology, which provides a context in which role changes are occurring; (3) psychological androgyny, a concept which finds expression in an age seeking alternatives to masculine and feminine stereotypes; and (4) self-actualisation, as theoretically the dual-career family offers opportunities for increased personal fulfilment. The scales used were: Smilkstein's Family APGAR (1978), Smith et. al.'s FEM-scale (1975), Bern's Sex-Role Inventory (1974) and Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory (1963). Previous research, particularly regarding the role of dual-career husbands, has not consistently confirmed predictions based on theory. Consequently, this study is observational, not predictive. The results indicated no significant differences on family-functioning; dual-career and traditional husbands and wives all rated their families as well-functioning. Self-actualisation scores, though not statistically significant, suggested trends inconsistent with theory and previous research, in indicating that traditional husbands, dual-career husbands and dual-career wives are similarly inner-directed and that traditional husbands are more inner-directed than traditional wives. This may have been due to difficulties with the POI. Statistically significant differences were found in sex-role ideology scores, with dual-career wives scoring more pro-feminist (p < 0,05) than traditional wives and dual-career husbands. Although the scores for psychological androgyny could not be statistically assessed, the results suggested a trend for more dual-career wives to be androgynous than traditional wives and dual-career husbands. The median test indicated a significant statistical relationship between sex-role ideology and androgyny and "cross-sex-typedness" (p = 0,0007). No other statistically significant relationships were found between the variables, except for a significant positive correlation (p < 0,05) between the two sub-scales of the POI. Discrepancies between dual-career husbands and wives on sex-role ideology and androgyny did not appear to affect family-functioning adversely. Possible explanations for this include their hiring of domestic servants, thus reducing the need for husbands to make adaptive role changes; and several indications that the wives continue to identify with the traditional female role. These features imply that these dual-career families are not fully egalitarian; husbands and wives still tend to allocate responsibility and commitment to roles in accordance with the traditional model.
