Question

In Joe and Paulette’s marriage, Paulette does most of the housework and participates very little in major decision making. She perceives the relationship as fair and equitable. Joe makes most of the important decisions and does relatively little housework, but feels the relationship is unfair. This example illustrates which of the following?
a. subjective measure of fairness
b. personal power
c. conjugal power
d. objective measure of power

Answer 1

Answer: a) Subjective measure of fairness

Explanation:

Subjective measure in terms of fairness is defined as the parameter which is observed and experienced by a person and then stated based on its partiality or impartiality.

According to the question, fairness according to Joe and Paulette's experience is being measured in their marriage. Paulette thinks that has fair relationship whereas Joe thinks the relation is unfair because of division of relationship areas such as housework, decision making etc.This depicts the fairness is being measured through subjective measure.

Other options are incorrect because objective measure is used for measuring a work performed by person. Power in personal and conjugal terms is not displayed .Thus, the correct option is option (a).
