Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jared's behavior aligns with the gender ideology hypothesis, which suggests that individuals may perform tasks or roles that align with traditional gender norms to compensate for deviations from these norms in other areas, such as income disparity in a relationship. In this case, Jared is avoiding tasks traditionally seen as feminine, possibly to assert a traditional masculine role in response to his wife earning more.
