虽然减少工作时间被广泛认为是减少痛苦，经验文献有关的绝对工作小时数的痛苦结果是不一致的。也许在放弃工作的某些方面以获得更多的非工作时间之间的权衡对一些员工来说比其他人更有压力。作者检验了这样一个假设，即权衡的难度是生活质量指标的更有力的预测因素（即，焦虑和抑郁的症状，工作角色质量，并打算在一年内营业额）比本身的工作时间在一个非随机样本的141个减少工作时间的医生双职工夫妇。结果支持这一假设。
Although reduced-hours work is widely thought to decrease distress, empirical literature relating absolute number of hours worked to distress outcomes is inconsistent. Perhaps the trade-off between giving up some aspects of work for more nonwork time is more stressful for some employees than for others. The authors tested the hypothesis that difficulty of trade-offs is a more powerful predictor of quality-of-life indicators (i.e., symptoms of anxiety and depression, job-role quality, and intention to turnover within I year) than is number of hours worked per se in a non-random sample of 141 reduced-hours physicians in dual-earner couples. Results supported the hypothesis.
