Spouse, Parent, Worker: Role Commitments and Role-Related Experiences in the Construction of Adults' Well-Being.

Greenberger, Ellen; O'Neil, Robin

Developmental Psychology, v29 n2 p181-97 Mar 1993

Surveyed adults who were parents of preschool children and employed in dual-earner families. Found that adults' high commitment to roles was not associated with psychological well-being; diverse sources of support for women were linked with their psychological states; and men's well-being was responsive to wives' support.
