The study asked 136 men and women aged 18 to 30 whether being in control of household decisions is something they desire.Both sexes agreed that being in charge is an advantage.Then,150 women were asked to imagine being a married mother and either making most of the household decisions or making them jointly with her husband.Those who had imagined being in control at home placed less value on things such as earning a high salary than those who had imagined sharing the running of the household.

　　Then，almost 650 men and women were asked to imagine one of the same two scenes but with division of household chores.The men’s interest in work was not affected by thoughts of being in charge at home.And if a woman imagined having to do all the chores，without making the decisions at home，she was still hungry for power in the workplace.

　　Researcher Professor Serena Chen said，“This suggests it is the power aspect of household control that reduces women’s interest in power outside of the home.To realise true gender equality in both private and public fields，our results suggest women may need to at least partially give up the role of household directors and men must share such decision­making.”
