我们通过研究配偶之间管理家庭所固有的精神和情感劳动的分配如何与女性的福祉相关联来解决家庭中的隐形劳动问题，包括她们对生活的满意度、伴侣的满意度、空虚感和经历角色超负荷。对 393 名美国已婚/有伴侣的母亲（大多是中上阶层背景，家里有受抚养子女）进行了抽样调查，结果显示，大多数女性表示，她们独自承担起家庭日常事务的责任，包括安排家庭日程和维持家庭秩序。与孩子适应相关的责任的某些方面主要由母亲承担，包括对孩子的情绪保持警惕，而其他方面则与伴侣共同承担，包括向孩子灌输价值观。家庭财务的责任主要由大家共同承担。回归分析表明，在控制了情感和身体亲密维度后，对家庭管理，尤其是对孩子的适应负有不成比例的责任感，与母亲个人幸福感的压力以及对关系的满意度较低有关。我们工作的意义强调需要考虑家庭管理对母亲福祉的负担，并考虑母亲作为家庭主要管理者对支持和照顾的需求。在未来的劳动分工研究中，考虑到这些关键但经常被忽视的协调家庭的维度对婚姻质量和女性个人福祉的潜在影响，衡量这些维度将是有用的。
We address the issue of invisible labor in the home by examining how the distribution of the mental and emotional labor inherent to managing the household between spouses may be linked with women’s well-being, including their satisfaction with life, partner satisfaction, feelings of emptiness, and experiencing role overload. In a sample of 393 U.S. married/partnered mothers, mostly of upper-middle class backgrounds with dependent children at home, results showed that a majority of women reported that they alone assumed responsibility for household routines involving organizing schedules for the family and maintaining order in the home. Some aspects of responsibilities related to child adjustment were primarily handled by mothers, including being vigilant of children’s emotions, whereas other aspects were shared with partners, including instilling values in the children. Responsibility was largely shared for household finances. Regression analyses showed that after controlling for dimensions of emotional and physical intimacy, feeling disproportionately responsible for household management, especially child adjustment, was associated with strains on mothers’ personal well-being as well as lower satisfaction with the relationship. The implications of our work highlight the need to consider the burden of household management on mothers’ well-being and speak to mothers’ own needs for support and care as the primary manager of the household. In future research on division of labor, it will be useful to measure these critical but often neglected dimensions of who coordinates the household, given potential ramifications of this dimension for the quality of marriages and women’s personal well-being.
