对21名女性和21名男性高级管理人员和专业技术人员进行了与工作和家庭有关的心理和生理应激反应的调查。主要的结果是,妇女和男子都认为他们的工作具有挑战性和刺激性,尽管几乎所有的数据都表明男子的情况比妇女更有利。此外,妇女的压力更大,因为她们的无薪工作量更大,家务和家庭责任更大。女性在工作期间和下班后的去甲肾上腺素水平都高于男性,这反映了她们的工作量更大。有孩子在家的女性在工作后的去甲肾上腺素水平明显高于其他参与者。妇女的压力水平较高的可能的长期健康后果进行了讨论。
Psychological and physiological stress responses related to work and family were investigated in 21 female and 21 male managers and professional specialists in high-ranking positions. The main result was that both women and men experienced their jobs as challenging and stimulating, although almost all data indicated a more favorable situation for men than for women. In addition, women were more stressed by their greater unpaid workload and by a greater responsibility for duties related to home and family. Women had higher norepinephrine levels than men did, both during and after work, which reflected their greater workload. Women with children at home had significantly higher norepinephrine levels after work than did the other participants. The possible long-term health consequences of women's higher stress levels are discussed.
