Applied Research Questions

1. Find two articles which address the rates of violence suffered by women in families and the correlating factors that make it more and less likely. Compare those findings to Cole’s article (AN_4030392). What other features might you suggest to a program that might bring more women in for services?

2. Using Treas and Widmer’s article (AN_3421630) as a reference, find two other US studies of attitudes about women’s employment. With about tow out of three US women in the labor force in mind, develop a list of suggestions for couples in the dual breadwinner roles.

3. Smock and Manning (AN_2735330) found that divorce economically disadvantages women. Find two articles, one dealing with the non-economic disadvantages of divorce to women, and one dealing with the disadvantages of divorce to men. What is similar and different in the experience of divorce for men and women?
