这篇文章提出了假设的初步测试，家务劳动作为紧张的来源，并与抑郁症状间接相关。它还研究了性别和墨西哥裔美国人种族与家务劳动、家庭压力和抑郁情绪的关系。受访者是668名墨西哥裔美国人和394名非西班牙裔白人。由于受访者是随机选择的社区居民并且已婚，因此平均紧张和抑郁症状水平较低。结果与家务劳动通过家庭压力间接影响抑郁情绪的假设一致。在女性中，家务劳动与家庭压力增加的可能性有关，而家庭压力又与抑郁症状有关。在男性中，家务劳动与家庭压力无关，但家庭压力与抑郁情绪有关。虽然种族和性别与家庭劳动分工有关，但在墨西哥裔美国人中更具有传统模式，种族并不改变家务劳动、家庭压力和抑郁症状之间的联系。
This article presents preliminary tests of the hypothesis that household labor serves as a source of strain and is indirectly associated with depressive symptoms. It also examines associations of gender and Mexican‐American ethnicity with housework, household strain, and depressed mood. Respondents are 668 Mexican Americans and 394 non‐Hispanic whites. Because respondents are randomly selected community residents and are married, average strain and depressive symptom levels are low. Results are consistent with the hypothesis that housework affects depressed mood indirectly, through household strain. Among women, housework is associated with an increased likelihood of household strain, which, in turn, is associated with depressive symptoms. Among men, housework is unrelated to household strain, but household strain is associated with depressed mood. Although ethnicity and gender are associated with household division of labor, with more traditional patterns among Mexican Americans, ethnicity does not modify associations among housework, household strain, and depressive symptoms.
