The General Social Surveys were used to examine demographic and attitudinal differences between housewives and wives employed full- and part time in 1972 and 1986. Results showed that while both demographic and attitudinal differences were larger in 1986 than they had been in 1972, the major divergence was found between housewives and those employed full-time, while part-timers appeared more like housewives in both periods. Specifically, housewives were increasingly likely to hold traditional attitudes regarding marital roles, mothers' employment outside the home, sexuality, and abortion. While some of this divergence in attitudes over time was explained by the aging of the population of housewives, analyses restricted to women of childbearing age showed a similar pattern. Multivariate analyses revealed that the increasing impact of employment on attitudes could not invariably be explained by increasing demographic differences on variables such as educational attainment, household income, and household size, even though these differentiated full-time employed wives from housewives more strongly in 1986 than in 1972. Implications of this divergence are discussed.
