The study investigates the relationship between status congruency and an additudinal measure of political liberalism for a sample of married women. The results provide evidence as to the ubiquity of congruency as a predictive characteristic. Measures of status and congruency were based on status scales of the respondent's education and ethnic background and her husband's income and occupation. Status scales were obtained from the respondent's evaluations of the prestige of various occupations, incomes, educational levels, and ethnic backgrounds. Evaluations were made by numerical estimation which provided ratio estimates of the differences between characteristics. Results indicated that incongruency and liberalism were directly related. In particular, women tended to be more liberal if their educational status was less than their occupational or economic standing. In light of earlier findings, liberalism was interpreted as a reaction of women to problems they may experience when they marry husbands of a higher status.
