ニュアンスがちょっと違うと思います。たとえば、「I study as often as you」を日本語にすると、「あなたと比べると、私は同じ時間勉強します」でしょう。

Idiomではありません。
「事あるごとに」とは違うでしょう。
~と同じ程度頻繁に~
@sutehk perhaps 期間 instead of 時間? (同じ時間 = "at the same time"). Though 期間 is "duration", which is different from "frequency". "Often" is a term indicating a relative frequency, right? So... I put 「頻繁に」which means "often". Hmmm... どうかな。
just as ___ as ____ の 「just」は強調ですね。

sutehkさん、hapybrianさん、詳しい回答ありがとうございます!
But I found "just as often" was used in an essay which was written by an American writer.
"And the daughters , just as often, absolutely refuse to obey their parents."
What does "just as often" mean in that sentence?

Was there a sentence before that which describes some other behavior?
Like, "The parents often reprimanded their daughters for their wild behavior, bidding them to behave more ladylike."
There should still be some other activity that happens with some amount of regularity. It is in comparison to that activity that the author is writing, I think. Here, "just" probably acts more like 「ちょうど」(or ~に従って) = "to the same amount", with less 「ぐらい」implied. The parents scold 10 times, and the daughter refuse to obey 10 times.

Thank you for your detailed explanation!
Can I ask you a little more ?
As you mentioned, the author discribed the parents scolded their daughters again and again before that sentence.
So I guess that sentence is rephrased as follows.
"The daughters absolutely refuse to obey their parents just as much as their parents scold them."
