Multiple roles and psychological distress: the intersection of the paid worker, spouse, and parent roles with the role of the adult child
Article Abstract:
Research into relationships between psychological distress and objective and subjective elements of the roles of paid worker, spouse and parent has highlighted the buffering impact of job satisfaction and marital harmony and the exacerbating impact of marital disharmony for mothers. No moderating effects were identified for the satisfaction and stress associated with the role of parent. Objective and subjective elements of the role of paid worker and spouse indicate consistent relationships with psychological distress for mothers and fathers.

The intersection of time in activities and perceived unfairness in relation to psychological distress and marital quality
Article Abstract:
The perceived unfairness to self of paid work, household tasks and child care demonstrates direct, positive connections with psychological distress and marital disharmony, along with negative connections with marital harmony. Links between perceived unfairness to self and spouse and psychological distress and state of marriage do not differ on the basis of gender ideology. It was not established that perceived unfairness affects relationships between time in activities and psychological distress or quality of marriage.

Parents' risk and protective factors as predictors of parental well-being and behavior
Article Abstract:
An examination of data from the National Commission on Children's 1990 Survey of Parents and Children showed that risk factors such as economic strain, single-parent family, long work hours and neighborhood problems are negatively associated with parental well-being. It was also observed that parental well-being is positively influenced by two protective factors namely, marital happiness and perceived school environment.
