To understand new fathers' experiences and well-being, we examine links between fathers and their partners' replenishing and stressful daily experiences-exercise, sleep, work, chores, general stress, and parenting stress-and their own and their partners' well-being and family relations. Fathers and mothers of ten-month old infants (N=143/140 mothers/fathers) in the U.S. reported on daily experiences for eight consecutive days. Results of multilevel models indicated that more replenishing and fewer stressful daily experiences were generally linked to more parent happiness, better couple relations, and greater closeness with the infant. Several gender differences also emerged that may reflect different stress and coping processes or different social roles for mothers and fathers; most striking was that on days that fathers spent more time on chores, mothers reported greater couple closeness but fathers reported more arguments. This exploration of new parents' daily experiences demonstrates the value of the method to generate intervention-relevant insights, as well as the importance of examining fathers' (and mothers') experiences in the context of couple-level dynamics.

第二章：新父母的日常压力源和资源影响父母的适应和家庭关系。


为了了解新父亲的经历和幸福感，我们研究了父亲及其伴侣的日常补充和压力体验（锻炼、睡眠、工作、家务、一般压力和养育压力）以及他们自己和伴侣的幸福感之间的联系。存在和家庭关系。美国十个月大婴儿的父亲和母亲（N=143/140 母亲/父亲）连续八天报告日常经历。多层次模型的结果表明，更多的补充和更少的压力日常经历通常与更多的父母幸福感、更好的夫妻关系以及与婴儿更亲密的关系有关。还出现了一些性别差异，这可能反映了母亲和父亲不同的压力和应对过程或不同的社会角色；最引人注目的是，在父亲花更多时间做家务的日子里，母亲们报告说夫妻关系更亲密，但父亲们报告说争吵更多。对新父母日常经历的探索证明了该方法产生干预相关见解的价值，以及在夫妻层面动态背景下检查父亲（和母亲）经历的重要性。
