Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of gender role ideology on marital stability through two lenses: first, the acceptance of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (GEWE); and second, the structure of Conjugal Moral Judgment (CMJ) and Conjugal Moral Resiliency (CMR). The study involved three ideological groups: Egalitarian (N=84), Patriarchal (N=13), and Matriarchal (N=16). In terms of GEWE acceptance, all groups showed generally positive acceptance, with the Egalitarian group having the highest average acceptance, but all groups exhibited uniform rejection toward the Reproductive Health (RH) agenda (M=2.48), indicating a pervasive moral boundary related to the Sanctity foundation. The primary finding is the discovery of a plurality of moral strategies in maintaining marital integrity. Structurally, the Egalitarian group demonstrates a significant Institutional Gap in CMJ, prioritizing individualizing foundations (Care and Fairness) far above binding foundations (Loyalty and Authority). Crucially, this study introduces the concept of CMR and measures it using Standard Deviation (SD) as an indicator of internal moral consensus. The results show that the Patriarchal group employs a Uniform Institutional Strategy with the lowest CMR SD (SD=0.13), signifying the highest moral consensus and predictability. In contrast, the Egalitarian group utilizes a Flexible Individual Strategy with a relatively higher CMR SD (SD=0.16), indicating greater moral negotiation and adaptation. This research contributes substantively by shifting the focus from "what is believed" to "how uniform is that belief" (measured by SD), proving that gender ideology dictates not only moral configuration but also the consistency of marital resilience mechanisms. The findings recommend that family strengthening policies must accommodate the plurality of strategies—whether institution-based (Patriarchal/Matriarchal) or individual-based (Egalitarian)—rather than imposing uniformity.

Abstract

This study explores the moral foundations upheld by Indonesian women within their household context, utilizing the Conjugal Moral Foundations Questionnaire (CMFQ)—a modified version of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) specifically tailored for the marital setting. The study reveals that Indonesian women generally prioritize traditional moral values, showing the highest preference for the foundations of care, loyalty, and sanctity. However, we identify a significant Moral Dissonance—a measurable gap between moral expectations and moral actions—particularly pronounced across the care, fairness, and authority foundations. This study argues that this dissonance is resolved through a cognitive mechanism termed Egalitarian Essentialism. This mechanism manifests in women’s moral preference for distributive justice (a balance between rights/obligations and responsibilities) over commutative justice (pure equality), alongside their conditional recognition of male dominance (patriarchy) in household leadership. These findings offer critical insights into the moral complexity of women in the Indonesian household, serving as a vital basis for developing targeted programs and policies that support family well-being. Further research is necessary to track the temporal dynamics of marital moral relations and to explore justice preferences within the household more deeply.
