Linking Parents' Work Pressure and Adolescents' Well-Being: Insights into Dynamics in Dual-Earner Families.

Crouter, Ann C.; Bumpus, Matthew F.; Maguire, Mary C.; McHale, Susan M.

Developmental Psychology, v35 n6 p1453-61 Nov 1999

Examined connections between parents' work pressure and adolescent adjustment in 190 dual-earner families. Found that effects of work pressure on adolescent well-being were mediated by parental role overload and parent-adolescent conflict. Fathers' work pressure predicted both parents' feelings of role overload. Mothers' work pressure predicted only their own overload. Patterns were similar for older and younger siblings. (Author/KB)
