Resources, Gender Ideologies, and Marital Power

The Case of Taiwan

Using the 1994-1995 Taiwan Social Change Survey, we examine the relationship between socioeconomic resources, gender ideologies, and marital power in contemporary Taiwanese marriages. Results from multinomial logit models indicate that socioeconomic resources and gender ideologies of both married men and women are significant determinants of the balance of marital power. As the access to socioeconomic resources becomes increasingly easier and as traditional gender ideology continues to languish, Taiwanese wives' bargaining power with patriarchy in the family is on the rise. These findings not only corroborate the classic resource theory of marital power but also substantiate the modified resource theory of marital power in a non-Western society.
