| Zusammenfassung: | Greeley has argued that not enough is known about American ethnic group differences but that such differences exist primarily in the “common core of assumptions” about familial role expectations. A measure of women's attitudes toward questions of female employment and family responsibilities is taken as an index of such expectations. Using a sample of 673 white, native born, married Rhode Island women, nationality, religious affiliation and social class are explored in relation to attitudes. Significant nationality-linked differences in attitudes were found. Religion was not significantly associated with attitudes, but among the Catholic respondents there were significant differences associated with nationality. Taking social class into consideration, nationality group differences in attitudes were significant only among non-high school graduates and among those from non-white collar families. As Greeley predicted, there is considerable nationality-linked attitudinal variation among working class women; the reasons for it require further research. |
