Dual-career lesbian couples. 1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26630235

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological correlates of relationship satisfaction and role conflict in dual-career lesbian couples. Couples were recruited through newsletters, mailings and advertisements in magazines. Questionnaires were sent to 720 individuals (360 couples). Of these 575 were returned. Participants were from Canada, Israel, and all over the United States. The sample is 94% Caucasian. Ages range from 20 to 59 years old. Two identical questionnaires were sent to each couple. Each participant responded to the questionnaire separately, providing demographic information and answering questions about her current relationship and about perceptions of lesbian relationships in general. The questionnaire also includes scales and measures of: role conflict, personal autonomy, self esteem, career commitment, life satisfaction and disclosure about lesbian identity. Other scales assess the following aspects of the relationship itself: attachment, intimacy, satisfaction, adjustment, and influence of each individual on the relationship. The Murray Research Center has all 575 original questionnaires and computer data for 550 of these.
