The Great Recession changed the economic landscape in the United States in important ways, affecting men’s economic experiences substantially. Some states were affected less by the recession, thereby providing households a buffer against its harmful effects. Understanding the social and economic contexts of housework such as those influenced by the Great Recession can yield important insights for contemporary American family life and make significant contributions to occupational science as a discipline. The purpose of this project is two-fold. First, we use 2003-2015 American Time Use Study data to examine housework performance before, during, and after the Great Recession. To what extent did the changing economic conditions associated with the Recession change how women and men allocated time to housework? Second, we situate households into geographic context to determine whether and how state-level employment opportunities (e.g., unemployment rate) and policies (e.g., minimum wage) shape women’s and men’s housework performance and how these state-level characteristics provided different contexts for housework before, during, and after the Great Recession. The results indicate that men’s housework hours increased over the three time periods, while women’s housework hours decreased. Individuals living in Census divisions characterized by less traditional gender ideologies reported performing less housework. This project demonstrates the power of social norms around housework performance and documents how housework remains a gendered occupation in the United States and thus a social problem related to the inequitable distribution of unpaid labor worth examining.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL SCIENCE}, author={Davis, Shannon N. and Greenstein, Theodore N.}, year={2020}, pages={390–404} } @book{davis_greenstein_2020, title={Why Who Cleans Counts}, ISBN={9781447336747 9781447336792}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1332/policypress/9781447336747.001.0001}, DOI={10.1332/policypress/9781447336747.001.0001}, abstractNote={While housework is an often-studied phenomenon, Why Who Cleans Counts frames the performance of housework as a way to understand power dynamics within couples. Using couple-level data from the United States-based National Survey of Families and Households (N = 3,906), we perform Latent Profile Analysis to identify five categories, or classes, of couples: Ultra-traditional, Traditional, Transitional Husbands, Egalitarian, and Egalitarian High Workload. The book describes how the housework classes and the behaviors of the couples within them reveal the power dynamics within the couples, power dynamics that center around gendered norms. Using Latent Trajectory Analysis, we follow the couples over time to examine change and stability in their housework performance; their behavior over time also reveals the use of power in their relationships. Finally, we examine the reported housework time of the adult children of the NSFH couples to determine the extent to which the power dynamics experienced in one’s childhood home shapes one’s own adult gendered performance of housework. The book concludes with suggestions for how practitioners and scholars might use the book’s findings given the changing demographics of the United States.}, publisher={Policy Press}, author={Davis, Shannon and Greenstein, Theodore}, year={2020}, month={Feb} } @book{greenstein_davis_2013, title={Methods of family research}, DOI={10.4135/9781544308579}, abstractNote={Preface The Goal of This Text What's New in the Third Edition To the Student To the Instructor Organization of This Text Acknowledgments 1.

The article begins with a summary of research focused on measuring gender ideology—individuals' levels of support for a division of paid work and family responsibilities that is based on the belief in gendered separate spheres. We describe the ways this concept has been operationalized in widely available data sources and provide a categorization schema for the items used to measure gender ideology. We also review the research predicting gender ideology, focusing on social and demographic characteristics while concurrently examining studies using cross-sectional, trend, and panel data. Finally, this article summarizes research focused on the consequences of gender ideology, both in families and family-related behaviors and in other areas of social life where beliefs about gender are relevant, such as the workplace. We conclude with implications for future research for measurement tools, predictors of gender ideology, and consequences of ideology in individuals' lives.}, journal={ANNUAL REVIEW OF SOCIOLOGY}, author={Davis, Shannon N. and Greenstein, Theodore N.}, year={2009}, pages={87–105} } @article{greenstein_2009, title={National Context, Family Satisfaction, and Fairness in the Division of Household Labor}, volume={71}, ISSN={["0022-2445"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1741-3737.2009.00651.x}, abstractNote={ This study uses data from married women in 30 nations to examine justice processes involving perceptions of fairness of the division of household labor and satisfaction with family life. Relative deprivation theory suggests that national context—operationalized here as nation‐level gender equity—might serve as a comparative referent used by married women when making determinations of the fairness of the division of household labor. Multilevel analyses confirm that the effect of inequalities in the division of household labor on perceptions of fairness is moderated by national context, as is the effect of perceptions of fairness on satisfaction with family life. The effects are strongest in nations with high levels of gender equity, confirming two hypotheses suggested by relative deprivation theory. }, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY}, author={Greenstein, Theodore N.}, year={2009}, month={Nov}, pages={1039–1051} } @article{davis_greenstein_marks_2007, title={Effects of union type on division of household Labor - Do cohabiting men really perform more housework?}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1552-5481"]}, DOI={10.1177/0192513X07300968}, abstractNote={ Using data from 17,636 respondents in 28 nations, this research uses multilevel modeling to compare the reported division of household labor and factors affecting it for currently married and currently cohabiting couples. 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 use data from the first wave of the National Survey of Families and Households (N =4,296) to test three theories of wife abuse. Resource theory receives no support. Relative resource theory receives limited support. Gendered resource theory receives strong support. Wives’ share of relative incomes is positively related to likelihood of abuse only for traditional husbands.

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.

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.

She concluded that the link between economic dependence and housework follows rules of economic exchange for wives, but among husbands, a gender display model is operative. This paper replicates and extends Brines' model by (a) replicating her work using a different data set; (b) adding additional controls to the model, including a measure of gender ideology; and (c) modeling a distributional (as opposed to absolute) measure of housework. For a measure of hours spent doing housework, the results of my analyses are consistent with Brines' suggestion of separate gender‐specific processes linking economic dependence and amount of housework performed. For a distributional measure of housework, on the other hand, my analyses contradict Brines' findings and suggest that both husbands and wives are acting to neutralize a nonnormative provider role when they do housework. Further analyses suggest that the phenomenon is more likely one of deviance neutralization than of gender display.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY}, author={Greenstein, TN}, year={2000}, month={May}, pages={322–335} } @inbook{greenstein_1999, title={Employment, early maternal}, booktitle={Encyclopedia of parenting theory and research / edited by Charles A.
