The preponderance of studies on friendship relations have used samples of single respondents of varying ages. It should be noted that if changing sex role orientation is to be taken as a possible reason for the difference in perceptions of who, husband or wife, is more active in friendship formation and maintenance, then the perceptions of both husbands and wives should have changed. This is evident since people know that changing sex role orientations have not been limited to women. Quite possibly, then, any shift which may have occurred during the time interval between studies may have been among wives only. If this were the case, though, people would expect to find only sex differences in the perceptions of the roles husbands and wives play in friendship selection and maintenance. Women would perceive wives as more active while men would still perceive husbands as more active. To control for this possibility, any investigation of the relationship between sex role orientation and couples' perception of friendship activities must necessarily control the sex variable. |
