Gender Equality In the Context Of Marital Namechange
Researchers from Indiana University and University of Utah say that those questioned during the survey even split fairly evenly in their support of government regulation requiring name change.
They say that these findings come despite a clear shift to more gender-neutral language, such as "chairperson".
"The figures were a bit sobering for us because there seems to be change in so many areas. If names are a core aspect of our identity, this is important. There are all these reports and indicators that families are changing, that men are contributing more, that we're moving toward a more equal family, yet there's no indication that we're seeing a similar move to equality when it comes to names," said Brian Powell, professor of sociology at IU Bloomington.
Presenting the findings at the American Sociological Association's annual meeting on Tuesday, Laura Hamilton, a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology at IU Bloomington, revealed that the survey tapped 815 people and asked both multiple choice and open-ended questions.
