description Analyzed responses to a questionnaire by 200 (of 605) couples who were both members of APA to determine the characteristics of these professional pairs. Questions covered demographic and biographic characteristics, employment histories, measures of productiviy, personal and professional satisfactions and problems, division of domestic responsibilities, and perceptions of relative value of careers. Responses were compared to those from 75 male and 62 female APA members who were not married to other psychologists. Results indicate that pairs were more productive than their same sex controls, but that both institutionally and familially imposed constraints caused the wife to subordinate her career to that of her husband, as indicated in division of responsibility for domestic activities, perceived relative values of careers, and satisfaction.
