Although some research suggests couples will largely agree on gender ideologies, other theories imply that women in different-sex couples will be more gender progressive than their partners.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Using data from 1290 different-sex couples married mostly in 2014 who participated in a nationally representative study in the United States, the authors identified latent classes of partners' gender ideologies using several measures. The authors then examined how latent class membership varied by sociodemographic characteristics using multinomial regression.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Results showed five underlying latent classes: Moderate (30%), Strongly Egalitarian (20%), Nuanced Traditional (20%), Mixed (18%), and Neutral (12%). About 82% of couples in the sample consisted of two partners who shared similar views. Results showed high levels of non-extreme stances. About 42% of couples belonged in either a Neutral class—neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the gender ideology measures—or a Moderate class. Several sociodemographic characteristics significantly predicted class membership.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Findings provide support for assortative mating—people tend to agree with their spouse on gender ideologies. Further, the findings show that although some individuals stuck “in the middle” between traditionalism and egalitarianism adopt moderate views, others seemingly adopt what the authors title <i>firm equivocation</i>.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marriage and Family","volume":"87 5","pages":"2056-2074"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
