A survey conducted by three Penn State Abington students has revealed that there is little difference between men and women when it comes to their involvement in Thanksgiving tasks. The survey examined the reported levels of involvement of almost 600 participants in tasks related to preparing for and hosting Thanksgiving. The surprising findings showed that both men and women reported similar levels of participation in Thanksgiving-related activities. However, the survey also highlighted that planning for the holiday was a source of tension within families, regardless of gender. The survey explored various aspects of Thanksgiving labor and the feelings associated with these tasks. Despite reporting an almost equal division of labor, a significant number of participants indicated that Thanksgiving caused tension in their families. The survey was presented at a sociology conference earlier this year, and the researchers plan to gather more data and potentially publish their findings.
