This $310,545 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how the division of household labor in families impacts children's social development and future aspirations.
The project investigates: 1) the relationship between family division of labor and children's future expectations for career and family life, 2) how family structures influence children's understanding of how labor can be divided, and 3) whether exposure to alternative examples affects children's beliefs about their future family and career. The research uses behavioral and observational data from parents and children, including experimental and survey methods. The award supports research training for graduate and undergraduate students, and the dissemination of findings to the public. Texas A&M University was awarded this 3-year grant, which began on April 1, 2025.
