- Abstract
This article disputes theories that question the diversification of family partnership and the role of strain related to family / career contradictions. Theoretical methodological aspects of the survey of a career woman in family partnership are discussed according to the structural approach of symbolic interactionism, thus introducing new possibilities of sociological survey of a career woman. Expectations regarding the status and roles of a career woman are explored: the greater the diversification of simultaneous roles, the greater their conflict. The empirical model of the survey is applied in investigating the picture of a career woman in terms of her roles' compatibility presented in Lithuanian mass media. It is shown that the social roles of a career woman are based on the categories of family and career, to which the competitive model is applied, which is given through the prisms of role compatibility and role strain. The career woman is presented as reflecting traditional roles of mother, wife and housewife in her own way and facing the problem of role compatibility as well. The conclusion is that the wider variety of roles performed by woman determines the greater role strain in the context of her interpersonal relations.
