This $334,924 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate how the division of household labor in families impacts children's development of fairness concepts and future work/family life aspirations. The 3-year project will use behavioral and observational data from parents and children, including experimental and survey methods, to explore how naturally occurring differences in family structures and perceptions of household labor distribution may influence young children's cognition and future expectations. The research aims to advance understanding of a relatively underexplored contributor to children's socio-cognitive development. The project also provides research training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students in STEM fields and will broadly disseminate findings to the public.
