The Role of Husbands' Supportive Communication Practices in the Lives of Employed Mothers

Abstract This study focuses on the experiences of employed mothers. Employed mothers encounter several problems that often contribute to a challenging adaptation to the management of work and family. Four problems: Work-family conflict, stress, inequity in the division of household and child care labor, and their perceptions of double bind beliefs. This study of 121 employed mothers examines the role of husbands' supportive communication practices in serving to alleviate these problems for their wives. Results showed that most employed mothers did experience the problems at moderate to high levels, and these problems were negatively correlated with women's perceptions of their husbands' support, doi: 10.1300/J002v40n04_03
