ABSTRACT This study examined whether relationship maintenance buffers the stress of balancing work and family. Sixty-two dual-earning couples and their adolescents completed surveys at the beginning and end of the week, recorded their stress throughout the week, and collected saliva on two consecutive days in the middle of the week. When mothers and fathers received more maintenance from each other and adolescents received more maintenance from their parents over the past month (T1), it was associated with a greater rise in cortisol awakening response. Greater maintenance received over the past month was also associated with lower interleukin-6 in adolescents and lower perceived stress during the week for fathers and adolescents. Finally, less maintenance the past month predicted greater conflict during the week for mothers, which predicted less satisfaction balancing work and family. Less maintenance over the past month and conflict during the week also predicted loneliness for both parents.

测试双重职业家庭的弹性和关系负担理论：关系维持作为压力管理

摘要这项研究探讨了人际关系维持是否减轻了平衡工作和家庭的压力。六十二对双收入夫妇及其青少年在一周的开始和结束时完成了调查，记录了他们整周的压力，并在一周中连续两天收集了唾液。在过去的一个月（T1）中，当父母双方获得更多的抚养费，而青少年则得到父母的更多抚养费时，这与皮质醇唤醒反应的增加更大有关。在过去一个月中获得的更大的维护也与青少年白细胞介素6降低以及父亲和青少年一周内感知压力降低有关。最后，过去一个月的维护费用减少，预示着母亲一周的冲突会更大，预测平衡工作和家庭的满意度会降低。过去一个月的抚养费减少和一周内的冲突也预示着父母双方的孤独感。
