1. Parental Time Pressures and Depression among Married Dual-Earner Parents

Author

Roxburgh, Susan

Abstract

This article examines whether there is an association between depression and parental time pressure among employed parents. Using a sample of 248 full-time employed parents and using the stress process framework, I also examine the extent to which gender, socioeconomic status, social support, and job conditions account for variation in the association between parenting strains and depression. Results indicate that parental time pressure is significantly associated with depression among mothers and fathers, and that well-off parents are significantly less depressed by parental time strains than less affluent parents. A significant portion of the association between parental time strains and depression is explained by job demands, and perceived social support does not buffer the association between parental time pressure and depression. Women in high control jobs are less depressed by parental time pressure than other employed mothers but conversely, among fathers, high job control amplifies the association between parental time pressure and depression.

Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of the relationship between negative home/work spillover and depression using a telephone sample of 550 employed respondents in Northeast Ohio. Our analysis addresses three questions; 1) Do home roles and demands in these roles mediate the relationship between negative spillover and depression? 2) Do resources in home and work roles moderate the relationship between negative spillover and depression? 3) Are there gender differences in these relationships? Results indicate that spillover mediates the relationship between job demands and depression, while two role resources, social support and job control moderate the impact of work-to-home spillover on depression. We observe a gender difference in the moderating influence of job control, but no gender differences in the moderating effect of social support. Although both home-to-work and work-to-home spillover are significantly associated with depression among both men and women, there is considerably more variation in the relationship between depression and work-to-home spillover than between depression and home-to-work spillover. We discuss our results in light of the literature on the relationship between work and home and in terms of the implications of our results for work-family policy. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Although there is an ever-growing literature on negative spillover, very little research has focused on positive spillover and even less has examined the relationship between positive spillover and depression. Our paper examines the relationship between work-to-home and home-to-work positive spillover and depression. We address four questions; 1) Do home roles and demands in these roles mediate the relationship between positive spillover and depression? 2) Do resources in home and work roles moderate the relationship between positive spillover and depression? 3) Is there an interactive effect between positive work-to-home and home-to-work spillover? 4) Are there gender differences in these relationships? Using the 500 employed individuals drawn from a random sample telephone survey of the Northeast Ohio area, we find that positive home-to-work spillover is associated with lower rates of depression while positive work-to-home spillover is associated with higher rates of depression. However, neither roles nor role resources explain variation in positive spillover and no gender differences are observed. Our results also indicate that the two types of spillover interact, such that depression is highest among workers who report high work-to-home positive spillover and low home-to-work spillover. We discuss the implications of our findings for understanding the work-home interface and in terms of work-family policy. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper I examine the association between subjective time pressure and depression and consider whether time pressure mediates the relationship between roles and depression, whether social and economic resources moderate the association between time pressure and depression, and whether time pressure explains gender differences in depression. Results of a telephone survey of 790 respondents indicate that time pressure is significantly associated with distress for men and women, and that subjective time pressure accounts for the significantly higher depression of employed women. Time pressure mediates the impact of housework and the volunteer role among women and it partially explains the differential depression of divorced men. Several resources moderate the impact of time pressure on depression: income among both men and women and perceived co-worker social support among men. Results suggest that the subjective experience of time pressure can be thought of as a potentially important mechanism by which lived experience is transformed into depression. However, in spite of the ubiquity of time pressure in the North American context, the depressing consequences of this subjective experience are not distributed equitably, suggesting that the capacity to manage time pressure and avoid depression may be another benefit associated with strategically advantageous social locations.
