Abstract | While there is a growing body of research on middle-class, white American work-family values, sex-role ideals, and attitudes toward women's employment, very little is known about the values and attitudes of other ethnic groups. This study compares the sex-role ideals and attitudes toward women's employment of Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian American college students (N=400). Chinese, Japanese and Caucasian groups were found to differ in beliefs and attitudes related to women's "place in the home," relative responsibility for care of house and children, natural suitability for housework and care of children, men's housework potential, effects of wives' employment on marriage, and women's motivations for working outside the home. Chinese, Japanese and Caucasian groups tended to have similar values and attitudes regarding: women's abilities to handle the responsibilities of both career and home, the importance of shared housework and child-care, women's responsibility to themselves to make use of their abilities, possible effects of wives' employment on husbands, and concerns for children and the timing of maternal employment.
