SCHEMA THEORY
Schema theory articulates the process of creating a perception built on the preexisting schema (i. e. cognitive structure) coupled with new incoming information (Bem, 1981).

Indirect Ways to Change Roles
Women also tried to change marital roles indirecdy. This was a primary strategy for traditional working mothers who desperately needed help at home but who couldn’t ask for a change in responsibilities directly or actively because they wanted the role—and whatever power came with it—themselves.
