Title of thesis: THE ROLE OF PROVIDER-ROLE IDEOLOGY AND CONSISTENCY IN COUPLE COMMUNICATION Jessica Lynn Brenneman, Master of Science, 2010 Thesis directed by: Associate Professor Leigh A. Leslie Department of Family Science This study investigated how problem solving and conflict in couples’ communication is affected by their beliefs about provider role ideology, and the consistency between their beliefs and their actions. It was predicted that couples who have the same provider-role ideology and couples who are consistent in their behavior and beliefs will use more problem solving and less hostile conflict behaviors than couples who are unmatched in their beliefs or inconsistent in beliefs and behavior. Contrary to predictions, no relationship between ideology, consistency, and communication was found. However, the results did show a significant relationship between women earning a large portion of the household income and greater amounts of hostile conflict in the couple communication. The implications for future research and clinical applications are discussed. THE ROLE OF PROVIDER-ROLE IDEOLOGY AND CONSISTENCY IN COUPLE COMMUNICATION
