• Are women better than men at multi-tasking? (2013, neutral): “While the empirical evidence for women outperforming men in multi-tasking has been sparse, researchers have shown that women are involvedmore in multi-tasking than men, for example in house-hold tasks (Offer and Schneider 2011; Sayer 2007).”
• How Parents Fare (2016, background): “Some aspects of mothering remain unmeasured here—and are indeed impossible to capture using the ATUS, including the background tracking of the family to-do list that is likely associated with multitasking and emotional strain (Milkie et al. 2009; Offer and Schneider 2011).”
• Parenthood and Well-Being: A Decade in Review. (2020, background): “Mothers spend more hours multitasking than fathers, and mothers’ multitasking activities are more likely than fathers’ to involve housework and child care and are more likely to be related to negative emotions, distress, and work–family conflict (Offer & Schneider, 2011).”
• Flexible Work, Flexible Penalties: The Effect of Gender, Childcare, and Type of Request on the Flexibility Bias (2016, background): “Men are more likely to take part in the leisurely facets of childcare that are more irregular, time flexible, and passive, like monitoring children playing outside or sleeping (Craig 2006; Offer and Schneider 2011).”
• Dealing with sleep problems during home confinement due to the COVID‐19 outbreak: Practical recommendations from a task force of the European CBT‐I Academy (2020, background): “While many parents share childcare and household responsibilities, in most families these tasks are still predominantly managed by mothers (Bittman & Wajcman, 2000; Craig, 2006; Offer & Schneider, 2011).”
• Gender Differences in Telecommuting and Implications for Inequality at Home and Work (2020, background): “Mothers spend more time multitasking than fathers, and the additional hours are mainly on housework and childcare (Offer & Schneider, 2011).”
• Polychronicity and Multitasking: A Diary Study at Work (2015, background): “According to Pashler (2000), the frequent switching between multiple and different tasks is a substantial component of multitasking in work settings.”
• Women’s complex daily lives: a gendered look at trip chaining and activity pattern entropy in Germany (2017, background): “Offer and Schneider (2011) add that mothers not only multitask more often than fathers, but that the types of multitasking differ in that mothers typically experience more negative effects and stress from multitasking than fathers.”
• Feeling Rushed: Gendered Time Quality, Work Hours, Nonstandard Work Schedules, and Spousal Crossover (2017, background): “Our results align with those of Offer and Schneider (2011) who found multitasking was associated with negative emotions and psychological distress for mothers.”
