Reinforcing Separate Spheres (2010, background): “This trend concerns researchers in sociology and related fields because of the well-known negative consequences of overwork for health, family welfare, and leisure time (Bunting 2004; Crouter et al. 2001; Hochschild 1997; Jacobs and Gerson 2004; Schor 1993; Spurgeon, Harrington, and Cooper 1997).”
Work–family conflict, psychological availability, and child emotion regulation: Spillover and crossover in dual‐earner families (2017, background): “Although several empirical studies have found support for the claim that parental work is linked to children’s adjustment through parenting or parent–child mediating processes (Beyer, 1995; Crouter et al., 2001; Galambos et al., 1995; MacEwen & Barling, 1991; Stewart & Barling, 1996; Vieira, Matias,”
Fathers’ and Mothers’ Work and Family Issues as Related to Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior of Children Attending Day Care (2006, background): “Previous research has suggested that the combination of overwork and role overload contribute to adolescents’ reports of less paternal acceptance and fathers’inability to take the adolescents’perspectives (e.g., Crouter et al., 2001).”
Does work–family conflict mediate the relationship between job schedule demands and burnout in male construction professionals and managers? (2005, result): “This is not the first study that has examined men’s responses to work– family issues but the results support previous research by demonstrating that work hours and subjective overload pose a problem for men’s participation in family life (Crouter et al., 2001).”
Working Time Mismatch and Subjective Well-being (2009, unknown): “On the other hand, research has been unable to find convincing evidence that such time pressures have impacted negatively the quality or stability of relationships (e.g., Crouter et al. 2001; Poortman 2005).”
Examining the tensions in workplace flexibility and exploring options for new directions (2014, background): “Other studies, however, show that putting these arrangements in place does not necessarily lead to flexible work practices (Crouter et al., 2001).”
Time for Children, One's Spouse and Oneself among Parents Who Work Nonstandard Hours (2008, background): “…has been found to be associated with spending less time together as a couple (Staines and Pleck 1983; Blair 1993; Polivka 2005), increases in marital conflict (Perry-Jenkins et al. 2007), and poorer marital quality and marital disruption (Crouter et al. 2001; Presser 2000; White and Keith 1990).”
The impact of job and organizational demands on marital or relationship satisfaction and conflict among Australian civil engineers (2002, background): “For example, Crouter et al. (2001) found that couples do not evaluate relationships less positively when men work longer hours but, when men suffer from subjective role overload, partners’ evaluations of relationship quality are less positive.”
