The Effect of Community Size on Exchange Orientations in Marriage.
Hansen, Gary L.
Rural Sociology, v52 n4 p501-09 Win 1987
Questionnaires from 220 young, married subjects were used to examine effects of community size on social-exchange orientations in marriage. Reward level explained 54.8 percent of the variance in marital adjustment for urban women but only 28.1 percent for rural women. Rewards of "money" and "information" were better predictors of adjustment for urban subjects. (JHZ)
