研究目的本研究探讨了就业状况（工人与退休人员）和生命历程的影响（年龄、性别和婚姻状况）与日常家务劳动时间的关系。其次，本研究评估了日常压力源与花在日常家务上的时间之间的关联是否因就业状况和生命历程影响而有所不同。设计和方法来自全国日常经历研究的 55-74 岁男性和女性（N = 268；133 名工人和 135 名退休人员）（美国中年全国调查 (MIDUS) 的一部分）连续 8 个晚上完成了有关他们日常经历的电话采访。 结果工作女性花在日常家务上的时间是职业男性的两倍多。与同龄人相比，未婚退休人员花在日常家务上的时间最多。作为就业和婚姻状况的函数，前一天的家庭压力源与花在日常家务上的时间之间的关联有一种显着的趋势。意义这些发现强调了性别和婚姻状况在就业状况与花在日常家务上的时间之间的关联中的重要性，以及日常压力源，特别是家庭压力事件，对日常家务参与的作用。
Purpose of the studyThis study examines how employment status (worker vs. retiree) and life course influences (age, gender, and marital status) are associated with time spent on daily household chores. Second, this study assesses whether the associations between daily stressors and time spent on daily household chores differ as a function of employment status and life course influences.Design and methodsMen and women aged 55–74 from the National Study of Daily Experiences (N= 268; 133 workers and 135 retirees), a part of the National Survey of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS), completed telephone interviews regarding their daily experiences across 8 consecutive evenings.ResultsWorking women spent more than double the amount of time on daily household chores than working men. Unmarried retirees spent the most time on daily household chores in comparison to their counterparts. There was a trend toward significance for the association between home stressors from the previous day and time spent on daily household chores as a function of employment and marital status.ImplicationsThese findings highlight the importance of gender and marital status in the associations between employment status and time spent on daily household chores and the role that daily stressors, in particular home stressful events, have on daily household chore participation.
