在134个双职工家庭中，作者研究了母亲的工作质量与她们的个人幸福和婚姻质量之间的联系，以及青春期的女儿和儿子的性别角色态度，作为母亲提供者角色态度的函数。在家庭访谈中，母亲描述了她们的工作提供者角色态度、家庭关系和心理健康；他们的后代报告了对性别角色的态度。妇女对养家糊口的态度分为主要-次要、共同供养者和矛盾的共同供养者三组。母亲的提供者角色态度调节了地位指标之间的联系；母亲的抑郁、婚姻冲突和女儿的性别角色态度。例如，抑郁和婚姻冲突与共同供养母亲的收入和职业声望呈负相关。对于主次和矛盾的共同供养者母亲来说，情况并非如此。这些发现强调了在探索工作与家庭的联系时，考虑职场女性对自己工作角色的解释的重要性。
The authors examined the links between mothers' work qualities and their individual well-being and marital quality, as well as adolescent daughters' and sons' gender-role attitudes, as a function of mothers' provider-role attitudes, in 134 dual-earner families. In home interviews, mothers described their work provider-role attitudes, family relationships, and mental health; their offspring reported gender-role attitudes. Women's attitudes about breadwinning were coded into main-secondary, coprovider, and ambivalent coprovider groups. Mothers' provider-role attitudes moderated the links between status indicator; and mothers' depression, marital conflict, and daughters' gender-role attitudes. For example, depression and marital conflict were negatively related to coprovider mothers' earnings and occupational prestige. The same was not true for main-secondary and ambivalent coprovider mothers. These findings underscore the importance of considering employed women's interpretation of their work roles when exploring work-family links.
