Description
Summary:Through the use of Parson's pattern variables, hypotheses are derived for testing the wife's socialization in terms of role acquisition and formation among four sample approximations to a professional's wife typification (urban-rural, sacred-secular). Correlational analysis is then used as an exploratory tap for sources of structural formation of wife roles. Self-role interaction is interpreted to be a function of social structural limitations--specifically, pattern variable role expectations. In general, this interpretation is upheld by the findings. Further, indications are given that the urban-rural, sacred-secular dimensions are separate, and, more importantly, additive indices.
