Doctoral Dissertation Research: A Cross-National Study of Subjective Time Pressure

这项研究的主题是主观的时间压力，或者是感觉自己有太多的事情要做，而没有足够的时间去做。主观时间压力是一个社会问题，随着妇女涌入劳动力市场而日益严重，促使人们对其原因和后果进行研究，并就如何解决这一问题进行辩论。该项目使用大型跨国数据集来考虑个人和国家特征所起的作用。该项目将评估(1)主观时间压力的跨国差异程度，(2)个人和国家层面的差异对时间压力水平的影响程度，以及(3)个人层面因素的影响是否因国家层面的背景而异。这项研究将包括按性别进行的单独分析，并将检验由角色理论、工作-家庭研究和比较研究产生的具体假设。更广泛的影响：该项目的更广泛影响是解决一个日益受到关注的社会问题。随着人们消磨时间方式的改变，了解生活影响的需求变得更加迫切。这种研究通过评价国家政策和其他国家特征的直接和缓和影响而具有政策相关性。

SES: 1002635PI: Eliza K. PavalkoIndiana UniversityCo-PI: Sibyl KleinerIndiana UniversityThis research addresses the topic of subjective time pressure, or the feeling that one has too much to do and not enough time in which to do it. Subjective time pressure is a social problem that has grown in the wake of women's influx into the labor market, prompting studies on its causes and consequences and debates on how to address the issue. This project uses a large cross-national dataset to consider the role played by both individual and national characteristics. The project will evaluate (1) the extent of cross-national variation in subjective time pressure, (2) the extent to which individual as well as national-level variation can each account for levels of time pressure, and (3) whether the effects of individual-level factors differ by national-level context. The research will include separate analyses by gender, and will test specific hypotheses generated by role theory, work-family research, and comparative studies. BROADER IMPACTS: The broader impacts of this project address a social problem that has garnered growing attention. As people change how they spend their time, the need to understand life impacts grows more pressing. Such research bears policy relevance by evaluating direct and moderating effects of national policies and other national characteristics.
