Abstract:
The purposes of this study are to understand the perceived attitudes, consequences, and motivations fordual-resident marital arrangements of women in Thailand. Two cultural groups of women were compared: a Village group comprised of agrarian village women and a University group, consisting of professional women; both groups of women lived in dual-resident marital arrangements. It was hypothesized that broader cultural and economic factors influenced perceived motivations and consequences for individuals and families in dual-residencies. Results illustrated how such economic and cultural factors differed between the two groups of women in Thailand. Comparisons were made to U.S. commuter marital arrangements.
