For married patients, chronic illness management often includes involvement of their spouses. We examined expectations regarding spouse involvement in the health of a partner with type 2 diabetes (N = 139 couples) from the perspectives of the patient and spouse. Partners' dyadic expectations and spouses' gender were posited to moderate spouses' diet‐related control and patients' diet adherence. Among male patients, when both partners shared an expectation for spouse involvement greater diet‐related spouse control was associated with better diet adherence of patients. In contrast, when expectations for spouse involvement were not shared, greater spouse control by wives was associated with poorer diet adherence. Dyadic expectations for spouse involvement did not moderate the association between spouse control and diet adherence among female patients. Findings suggest that shared expectations for spouse involvement can facilitate spouses' attempts to improve patients' dietary adherence, especially among male patients and their wives.

I present results from the first trust game conducted among married couples. The experiment consisted of a one-shot trust game where spouses were taken into separate rooms, not allowed to communicate, given a significant endowment, and both strategies and payoffs were common knowledge. Results indicate that only 3 percent of spouses in the sender role transfer the entire amount; the average proportion sent is 57 percent of the endowment. The limited sending is costly because the household on average is walking away with half of the potential earnings. The results provide further evidence of the lack of Pareto Efficiency within the household.

One dilemma in the political socialization literature is explaining the high degree of homogeneity of political party preferences among spouses. This rate of agreement could be a result of both spouses having similar political 'inheritances' & the outcome of 'assortative mating.' Another possibility is that some 'resocialization' occurs after marriage producing a change in one or the other spouse so that a consensus exists on political identification. Findings by P. Beck & M. Jennings (see SA 25:3/I6504) suggest that the more persuasive explanation is the 'resocialization' hypothesis, however they cannot test this thesis directly. A national sample of white adults from a survey conducted by the institute for Research in the Social Sciences, indicates that Beck & Jennings were correct. The rate of agreement among spouses at the age when marriage is most likely is higher than the correlation between the Rs' parents & in-laws would suggest if no assortative mating was taking place. However, the current correlation among spouses is much higher than the earlier correlation suggesting that resocialization is also taking place. Further, the data suggest that the wife is more likely to change her preference to fit her spouse than vice versa. 1 Figure. AA.
