Thanks to Ashworth contributing blogger, Romeo Vitelli, I recently came across a rating scale from the 1930’s that measures whether a woman is a “good wife.”  The scale seems almost comical if viewed within a modern context, but actually offers a very instructive glimpse into the socio-cultural looking glass that women were seen through during this period.  While reading this scale, which you can find by clicking here, I began wondering what today’s rating scale would look like. 

Would the qualities defining the positive and negative characteristics of a “wife” be radically different to the average person taking the test?  Are these qualities simply be repackaged in different forms today?  Check out the scale for yourself and please share your thoughts with your student community in this student forum thread. 

Thanks,

My name is Michelle, but my friends call me ‘Chelle (so please feel free to do so.)  I’ve been in the psychology program for almost a year, but experienced an upsetting time in my life and had to put it on hold for several months.

However; I just forged ahead into my study habits again.  I just finished Lesson 3 of Human Relations. 

I’m a 45 year old disabled housewife.  I find it totally ironic and absolutely wonderful that even though I hated school when I was younger, I find it awesome and fantastic as a mature adult.

I’ve always had a yearning to learn about psychology, especially forensic and abnormal psychology.  Maybe because I’m married to a cop, huh?  Anyway, I’m tickled pink to find out that I can talk to others on the student forum that are in the same program and learn the same things.

I’m also thrilled to hear about the Bachelor’s Program and will be checking into how I can transfer to the Bachelor’s Program as soon as it’s available.

Blessings,

‘Chelle
