Cohabiting men report performing more household labor than do married men, and cohabiting women report performing less household labor than do married women. The findings provide support for the time-availability, relative-resources, and gender-ideology perspectives. The effects of time availability and relative resources on the division of household labor are substantially the same for both union types, but gender ideology is more influential on the division of labor reported by cohabiting than by married respondents. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. }, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF FAMILY ISSUES}, author={Davis, Shannon N. and Greenstein, Theodore N. and Marks, Jennifer P.

We find significant differences in the division of household labor based upon respondents’ nations of residence. We find support for the time availability approach; households where the wife is employed outside the home for pay are more likely to respond that husbands perform at least half of the household labor. We also find support for the relative resources approach; in households where wives’ education equals or exceeds that of their husbands, husbands are more likely to perform half of the household labor. We find little support for the economic dependence approach. We suggest that future cross‐national research should place individuals in context to determine why there are nation differences in the reported division of household labor.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY}, author={Davis, SN and Greenstein, TN}, year={2004}, month={Dec}, pages={1260–1271} } @article{davis_greenstein_2004, title={Interactive effects of gender ideology and age at first marriage on women's marital disruption}, volume={25}, ISSN={["1552-5481"]}, DOI={10.1177/0192513X03257795}, abstractNote={ A sample of ever-married women from the NLSY79 is analyzed to examine the effects of age at first marriage and gender ideology on the likelihood of experiencing marital disruption. The authors hypothesize that age at first marriage will have no effect on the likelihood of experiencing marital disruption for non-traditional women, but that there will be a strong negative effect for traditional women. The authors use the log-rate model for piecewise-constant rates to estimate the log odds of respondents’ hazard for experiencing a marital disruption separately for each of the three gender ideologygroups.Findingssuggest that ageat first marriage affects women’s likelihood of marital disruption contingent upon gender ideology. It is suggested that gender ideology is a lens through which women view the world and make decisions and that within each ideology category the factors that affect likelihood of divorce may differ as a result. }, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF FAMILY ISSUES}, author={Davis, SN and Greenstein, TN}, year={2004}, month={Jul}, pages={658–682} } @article{davis_2003, title={Sex stereotypes in commercials targeted toward children: A content analysis}, volume={23}, DOI={10.1080/02732170390225331}, number={4}, journal={Sociological Spectrum}, author={Davis, S.
