Gender equality's progress in the public sphere has not expanded to the private sphere, where women are primarily responsible for housework, which seems to affect them at individual, family, and social levels. We investigated how women perceive contextual (society), intrapersonal (decision-making), or interpersonal (romantic relationship) factors could affect them (cost and benefits) at these levels; considering women's gender ideology as moderator. In Study 1, women (N = 94) rated the associated costs and benefits of a context (equal vs. unequal) and a decision (work vs. family). Findings showed that an equal context and the decision to invest in work benefited women at the individual level; investing in work benefited women at the social level but not at the family level. Moreover, women's gender ideology affected their evaluation. The Study 2 focused on the private sphere, women (N = 91) rated the associated costs and benefits of an egalitarian (vs. traditional) partner. Women perceived more benefits at all levels in an egalitarian (vs. traditional) partner. The effect a partner's ideology had on women's perception was stronger than the women's ideology. These findings highlight that—although women progress in the public sphere—certain factors in the private sphere seem to affect them.

女性对公共领域与私人领域成本和收益的评估：性别意识形态的作用

性别平等在公共领域的进展并没有扩展到私人领域，在私人领域，女性主要负责家务，这似乎在个人、家庭和社会层面影响了她们。我们调查了女性如何看待环境（社会）、人际关系（决策）或人际关系（浪漫关系）因素在这些层面上对她们的影响（成本和收益）；将女性的性别意识形态视为调节者。在研究 1 中，女性（N= 94) 评估了环境（平等与不平等）和决策（工作与家庭）的相关成本和收益。调查结果表明，平等的环境和投资于工作的决定使女性在个人层面受益；投资工作在社会层面使妇女受益，但在家庭层面却没有。此外，女性的性别意识形态影响了她们的评价。研究 2 侧重于私人领域，女性（N= 91) 评估了平等主义（与传统）合作伙伴的相关成本和收益。在平等主义（与传统）合作伙伴中，女性在各个层面都感受到了更多好处。伴侣的意识形态对女性感知的影响要强于女性的意识形态。这些发现强调——尽管女性在公共领域取得了进步——但私人领域的某些因素似乎会影响她们。
