项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Given the dramatic increase in women's employment over the past half century, the transition to parenthood is now followed by the early transition back to paid work for the majority of new mothers. Pressures associated with parental employment and childcare have become growing concerns for new parents. Research highlights the lack of consensus about the short- and long-term consequences of early parental employment for both parents and children. Even less is known about how socio-cultural factors, such as race, class, and family structure, affect parents' and children's mental health across these multiple transitions. The primary goal of the proposed research is to explore how the transition to parenthood, coupled with the early return to paid employment affects the mental health and family relationships of working-class parents and children over the short- (1-year) and long-term (6 years), with the aim of exploring how these processes differ as a function of race and family structure. The first aim is to explore the long-term effects of the transition to parenthood and early parental employment on parents' and children's mental health five years later. A sample of 153 couples, who experienced the transition to parenthood between 1996 and 2001, will be re-interviewed as their first child enters kindergarten, affording the unique opportunity to examine how patterns established in the first year of parenthood are related to family members' mental health and relationships five years later. The second aim is to examine how race and family structure moderate how new parents fare as they become new parents and manage full-time employment. The original transition to parenthood study will be replicated with three new sub-samples including, African-American, single-mother and two-parent families and European-American single mothers. The objectives of the replication are: (1) to examine change in new parents' mental health and intimate relationships as they become new parents and soon thereafter return to full-time work, (2) to identify how work conditions, social support, gender ideology, expectations about parenthood, and characteristics of the child and parents mediate the effects of the multiple transitions on parents' mental health, (3) to examine change in family roles and behaviors across the first year of parenthood, and (4) to determine the effects of family-friendly workplace policies on parents' mental health across the transition to parenthood.

描述(申请人提供)：鉴于过去半个世纪女性就业人数的急剧增加，现在过渡到为人父母之后，大多数新妈妈的早期过渡回到有偿工作。与父母就业和育儿相关的压力已经成为新父母越来越担心的问题。研究突显出，对于早期父母就业对父母和孩子的短期和长期影响，缺乏共识。关于种族、阶级和家庭结构等社会文化因素如何影响父母和孩子在这些多重转变中的心理健康，人们更是知之甚少。拟议研究的主要目标是探讨过渡到为人父母以及早日重返有偿工作对工薪阶层父母和子女的短期(1年)和长期(6年)心理健康和家庭关系的影响，目的是探索这些过程作为种族和家庭结构的功能有何不同。第一个目标是探讨五年后向为人父母的过渡和早期父母就业对父母和孩子心理健康的长期影响。在1996年至2001年间经历了为人父母的转变的153对夫妇的样本，将在他们的第一个孩子进入幼儿园时重新接受采访，这将提供一个独特的机会，来研究在为人父母的第一年建立的模式与五年后家庭成员的心理健康和关系是如何相关的。第二个目标是考察种族和家庭结构如何影响新父母成为新父母和管理全职就业的情况。最初的转变为父母的研究将复制三个新的子样本，包括非裔美国人、单亲和双亲家庭以及欧洲裔美国单亲母亲。重复研究的目的是：(1)考察新父母成为新父母并很快回到全职工作岗位时心理健康和亲密关系的变化；(2)确定工作条件、社会支持、性别意识、对为人父母的期望以及子女和父母的特征如何调节多重转变对父母心理健康的影响；(3)考察在为人父母的第一年中家庭角色和行为的变化；以及(4)确定在过渡到为人父母的过程中，有利于家庭的工作场所政策对父母心理健康的影响。
