abstract="In a random sample of 286 full-time-employed dual-earner couples, we tested 3 competing hypotheses: when wives earn more than their husbands, (a) each partner's marital-role quality (MRQ) decreases; (b) his MRQ increases, whereas effects on her MRQ are mixed; and (c) relationships vary with gender-role beliefs (i.e., gender-role ideology and subjective rewards of salary). We conceptualized salary as a couple-level predictor with 4 components, 2 time varying and 2 time invariant, and estimated the relationship between 2 time-varying components and MRQ. Women's MRQ was not significantly related to change in relative earnings. However, among men, the relationship varied by salary rewards.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
