Research Analyst Jaclyn Wong presented her work on gender-based perceptions of household tasks at the Gender and Gender Inequality Workshop at Stanford University and at the Social Psychology Workshop at UC Santa Barbara in December. Preliminary analysis of the research, conducted with collaborators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Northeastern University during her time as an associate professor of sociology at the University of South Carolina, finds that unpaid housework performed by women was seen as less enjoyable but more effortful, more time-consuming, more important and more financially valuable than the same tasks performed by men. In seeing such work by women as more personally costly but more beneficial to the family, people may see the costs of doing housework as “worth it” for women, but not men, because it produces greater collective benefits. The research was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2,495 adults using an experimental vignette in which key details including the main character’s gender were randomized among survey respondents. The research was supported by a grant from the Time-Sharing Experiment in Social Science (TESS) Program, funded by the National Science Foundation.
