چکیده:
One of the interests of the field of sociology is investigating the power structure in the family, which is usually carried out considering the division of labor between spouses and their participation in decision-making. Theoretical foundations show that the power structure is influenced by objective and subjective factors such as the type and amount of resources available to spouses, beliefs, and their type of perception regarding gender differentiation and their power and abilities. The aim of this research, which was designed using Resource Theory and Bourdieu's theory, is to investigate the relationship between the power structure in Kerman families and available resources and gender beliefs. The research sample consists of 286 female spouses in the city of Kerman and its surrounding villages, and the research was conducted using a survey method and a researcher-made questionnaire tool. The results showed that the family power structure, as predicted, is in favor of the husband, and there is a significant relationship between the power structure in the family and women's access to resources, the type of beliefs, their perception of the abilities of women and men, and other contextual factors.

Alongside accessible resources, gender ideology, gendered stereotypes, and gender role attitudes, which in some cultures validate the natural and social inequality of men and women, can also reduce an individual's power in the family decision-making process (Kaufman 80002).
Greenstein2(6991) believes that the family power structure and the system of domestic division of labor are shaped under the influence of three factors; first, women's employment and the number of hours they work outside the home; second, the accessible resources of the spouses; meaning the more accessible resources (job, income, education, and so on) one of the spouses has, the greater the share of power they claim for themselves; and third, gender ideology or an individual's self-perception regarding gender roles.
Power structure refers to the form of power relations between men and women, which was evaluated through two dimensions: power in family decision-making and the division of labor between husband and wife; gendered habitus, which includes stereotypical beliefs, ideology, and attitudes that grant one gender superiority over another in natural and social terms, was measured in two dimensions: belief in men's social superiority and belief in the innate and natural differences between women and men; and available resources, which include all social resources that make it possible to express opinions in a group or meet the needs of the group, were examined and evaluated with three variables: income, employment, and education (due to their importance in meeting family needs or providing the possibility of expressing opinions).
