- Summary:
-
A questionnaire, sent to the chairperson of either the psychology or the sociology department of all colleges and universities in the United States, explored the extent and nature of attitudes about hiring Ph.D. couples in the same department. A total of 2,027 colleges and universities comprised the sample group; however, only 16 percent (329) returned the questionnaire. Results indicate that administrators who would oppose hiring a husband-wife team in the same department are in the minority, and that antinepotism policies and attitudes are no longer prevalent. The 33 percent of department chairpersons who did respond in the bottom third of the scale are a sizeable minority. It is possible that nearly a third of the time the Ph.D. couple will be greeted with a chairperson who at least actively opposes their candidacy for two positions in her/his department. Advantages and disadvantages to both the department and to the couple are indicated. (MJM)
