Accepted Answer

According to Hochschild's theory of second-shift inequality, women often feel unappreciated and undervalued due to their unequal burden of domestic work and childcare responsibilities, which can lead to marital tensions. This is not necessarily due to their failure to adjust to evolving roles, excessive participation in their children's lives, or putting workplace priorities before home priorities, but rather the unequal distribution of household labor.

Hochschild suggests that couples can cope with marital tensions caused by an unequal second shift by dividing up the household chores between the two of them. This approach acknowledges the imbalance in responsibilities and attempts to address it by sharing the workload more equally. However, Hochschild also emphasizes that such strategies cannot fix the root of the problem, which lies in societal norms and expectations surrounding gender and work.

Accepted Answer

The gender restructuring perspective on family change recognizes that the care-taking needs of families have changed due to various factors like the increasing participation of women in the workforce, changing attitudes towards gender roles, and changing family structures. However, the structure of jobs and careers has not changed in a way that accommodates the care-taking needs of families, leading to a strain on working parents, particularly women. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it correctly represents the central view of the gender restructuring perspective.

Question 12

All of the following are types of care work EXCEPT __________.

Accepted Answer

Canvassing for votes for tax levies is a political advocacy activity and is not considered care work. The other options involve providing care and assistance to individuals who need help with basic activities of daily living.

Question 13

The economic restructuring perspective on family change asserts that __________.

Accepted Answer

The economic restructuring perspective on family change asserts that economic forces, such as globalization, technological change, and the rise of the service sector, have eroded the breadwinner-homemaker family model. This perspective highlights how changes in the economy have affected gender roles, job opportunities, and the family's ability to provide financial security. It does not focus on declining morality, social policy or individualistic values as the cause of family change.

Question 14

Proponents of the economic restructuring perspective on family change consider all of the following to be consequences of a new economic order EXCEPT __________.

Accepted Answer

The economic restructuring perspective acknowledges that the new economic order has led to changes in family structures and values, such as the blurring of gender boundaries, the rise of dual-earner families, and an emphasis on individual choice and self-reliance. However, it does not claim that financial stability among middle-class families is a consequence of this new economic order.

Question 15

Who are most likely to work a full day outside the home for pay and perform a second shift of unpaid labor at home?

Accepted Answer

Studies have consistently shown that women are more likely to work a full day outside the home for pay and still perform a second shift of unpaid labor at home, including household chores, childcare, and managing family logistics. This is often referred to as the "double burden" or "second shift" experienced by women. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to work full-time outside the home and have less involvement in unpaid domestic work.

Question 16

In 2006,for the first time in U.S.history,the Census Bureau __________.

Accepted Answer

The option B, "reported that less than half of U.S. households contained a married couple," is the correct answer. This was a significant milestone in U.S. demographics as it showed a shift away from traditional marriage and family structures. The Census Bureau did begin tracking cohabiting couples and gay/lesbian couples, but these were not firsts in 2006. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests that over half of households had married couples with children, which is not what the question is asking about.

Question 17

In the past two years,Joseph has made and broken intimate bonds with five partners in a pattern of behavior known as __________.

Accepted Answer

The pattern described, where Joseph has made and broken intimate bonds with multiple partners in a sequential manner, is commonly referred to as serial relationships. Polygamy refers to having multiple spouses at the same time, while cenogamy refers to living together as an unmarried couple. The sexual double standard refers to societal norms that hold men and women to different standards regarding sexual behavior.

Question 18

During the polarizing trend in gender roles that proceeded from industrialization,the process in which women became responsible for emotional and caretaking duties to the exclusion of men has been termed __________.

Accepted Answer

The process in which women became responsible for emotional and caretaking duties to the exclusion of men has been termed the "feminization of love." This term highlights the idea that love and emotions were traditionally seen as feminine and therefore, women were expected to take on these duties while men focused on providing financially for the family. The term "the second shift" refers to the additional work that women do at home after their paid employment, while "the female burden" is a more generalized term referring to the overall expectations and responsibilities placed on women in society. "Instrumentation" does not relate to this specific topic.

Question 19

The "opt-out revolution" refers to __________.

Accepted Answer

The "opt-out revolution" specifically refers to women who leave the workplace to care for their children.

Question 20

The rise of industrialization in the nineteenth century fostered the rise of __________.

Accepted Answer

Industrialization led to the rise of conjugal families, which emphasized the nuclear family unit consisting of a married couple and their children, rather than extended or multi-generational families. This was due to the demands of industrial labor, which required workers to be highly mobile and flexible, and the growth of urbanization, which made it more difficult for families to live in close proximity to one another. The rise of conjugal families also reflected changing social values and the emergence of the idea of the modern, self-sufficient individual.
