職場(chǎng)雙語(yǔ)：男人就是喜歡比老婆掙的多
According to a new study, this means I likely have significantly higher career satisfaction than if my wife earned the same or more than me. Pamela Tolbert, the co-author of 'The Impact of Relative Earnings Among Dual-Earner Couples on Career Satisfaction and Family Satisfaction' and a professor at Cornell University's ILR School, looked at 485 middle-class married couples in New York State between 1999 and 2002. They were all dual-earner couples -- both husband and wife held full-time jobs.
根據(jù)一項(xiàng)新的研究，這意味著，與妻子掙的和我一樣多甚至比我還多的情況相比，我很可能對(duì)事業(yè)有著更高的滿意度。《雙職工家庭相對(duì)收入對(duì)事業(yè)滿意度和家庭滿意度的影響》(The Impact of Relative Earnings Among Dual-Earner Couples on Career Satisfaction and Family Satisfaction)一書的作者之一、康乃爾大學(xué)勞工關(guān)系學(xué)院(ILR School)教授帕梅拉•托爾博特(Pamela Tolbert)在1999-2002年對(duì)紐約州485對(duì)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)夫婦進(jìn)行了研究。研究對(duì)象都是雙職工，即夫婦二人都有全職工作。
Ms. Tolbert classified as 'equal-earner' couples those in which both spouses contributed between 40% and 60% of total family income. Those in which the men contributed more than 60% of total family income she classified as 'traditional' couples. Ms. Tolbert examined how satisfied men and women in these arrangements were with both their careers and their family lives.
托爾博特將那些夫婦二人對(duì)家庭總收入的貢獻(xiàn)都在40%-60%之間的家庭定義為“相等收入”家庭。將丈夫?qū)彝タ偸杖氲呢暙I(xiàn)在60%以上的家庭定義為“傳統(tǒng)”家庭。托爾博特研究了這兩類家庭中男性和女性對(duì)事業(yè)和家庭生活的滿意情況。
It turns out, not too surprisingly, that men really do like making more than their wives. The study found that men who earn a lot more than their wives report significantly higher career satisfaction than men who earn about the same as their spouses, according to Ms. Tolbert and her co-author, Ronit Waismel-Manor of Israel's Netanya Academic College. 'Husbands feel concerned when wives make more than them,' says Ms. Tolbert. 'We still have these kinds of models in our head.'
結(jié)果是，不出所料，男人喜歡比妻子掙的多。按照托爾博特與該書的另一位作者、以色列奈坦亞學(xué)院(Netanya Academic College)的羅妮特•維斯梅爾-邁諾(Ronit Waismel-Manor)的說(shuō)法，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，收入遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)妻子的男性對(duì)事業(yè)的滿意度明顯高于與妻子收入相當(dāng)?shù)哪行浴Ｍ袪柌┨卣f(shuō)，當(dāng)妻子比自己賺得多的時(shí)候，男性會(huì)感到擔(dān)憂；我們的頭腦中仍有這樣的模式。
But, interestingly, although pay levels affect husbands' career satisfaction, money doesn't seem to matter much when it comes to the home front. Whether men earn less, the same or more than their wives has little effect on their reported level of family satisfaction, which tends to be high, the researchers found. The reasons for that are open to speculation, they added.
不過(guò)，有趣的是，盡管薪酬水平會(huì)影響丈夫?qū)κ聵I(yè)的滿意度，在家庭生活上，金錢看起來(lái)并不那么重要。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，夫妻倆掙的誰(shuí)多誰(shuí)少還是一樣多，這對(duì)于男性對(duì)家庭生活的滿意度沒(méi)有太大影響。男性對(duì)生活的滿意度往往較高。研究人員說(shuō)，原因仍眾說(shuō)紛紜。
Meanwhile, women who earn the same as their husbands report significantly higher levels of career satisfaction than do women in traditional couples, but significantly lower family satisfaction. The take-home message of her findings, says Ms. Tolbert, is that too many people still cling to outdated gender roles.
與此同時(shí)，與丈夫收入一樣多的女性對(duì)事業(yè)的滿意度要明顯高于傳統(tǒng)家庭中的女性，不過(guò)在家庭滿意度上要低的多。托爾博特說(shuō)，她的發(fā)現(xiàn)揭示出了一點(diǎn)，那就是太多人仍傾向于過(guò)時(shí)的性別角色。
