“…A further limitation is that an 'economic determinism' (Kanter, 1977) is implicitly accepted in such cross-sectional designs. Although it is usually argued that in normal circumstances employment experiences influence family functioning (Evans and Bartolome, 1981), there are data suggesting that mothers' work performance is influenced negatively by their children's health status (Salkever, 1980). It remains imperative, therefore, to use true causal analyses in future research.…”

Increased participation by mothers in the labour force may exert a negative effect on working mothers themselves (e.g. interrole conflict) and influence the marital relationship negatively. Recent research suggests that not all individuals experiencing psychological distress suffer psychological strain (e.g. marital discord). Rather, variables such as social support moderate negative effects of psychological stressors. To test this, sixty‐four employed mothers (M age = 36 years) completed interrole conflict and spouse support scales. Marital satisfaction, verbal and nonverbal communication were the criteria operationalized to assess marital functioning. Using moderated multiple regression analyses, interrole conflict and spouse support predicted marital satisfaction and verbal communication significantly. In addition, spouse support may moderate negative effects of interrole conflict on marital satisfaction and verbal communication. With regard to nonverbal communication, spouse support was both a significant main effect and possibly a moderator of interrole conflict. The role of spouse support, conceptual and treatment implications, and future research priorities are identified.

“…Several prior studies examine the relationship between childhood disability and maternal labor supply using data from the 1970s (Salkever, 1980(Salkever, , 1982, the 1980s (Kimmel, 1997(Kimmel, , 1998Wolfe and Hill, 1995) and the early 1990s (Powers, 2001(Powers, , 2003. Using a broad measure of disability that covers physical, mental and emotional conditions, these studies generally find that mothers of disabled children are significantly less likely to be employed and, when employed, tend to work fewer hours than otherwise similar mothers.…”
