Family Decision-Making: A Developmental Sex Role Model (SAGE Library of Social Research)

The authors present a new model of the process of family decision-making that takes into account the importance of sex roles. They use a series of couples as examples that illustrate the model at various stages of the life cycle. They also consider how decision-making is changing.

Their focussing upon couples and families rather than individuals and their extension of the concept of "family" to nontraditional arrangements also are commendable.′ -- Journal of Marriage
