Data obtained from both husbands and wives allowed the analysis of husband-wife response consistency for 25 attitudinal items. The mean values for the husbands' and wives' sample are statistically different for one-third of the items. A factor analysis indicates that respective factor structures of the items are closely similar for husbands and wives. For items, levels of agreement between spouses are low and apparently unrelated to characteristics of the couple. Only the degree to which the response to an item is culturally determined appears to affect husband-wife response consistency. The findings suggest that for attitudinal items, it is erroneous to conceptualize the existence of attitudes which represent the couple; attitudes are not shared more systematically by married couples than they are by the population at large.
