“…Whereas earlier research has tended to concentrate on very limited sets or individual approaches and activities or on prescriptive-based strategies, they have not been as expansive in providing options that may be used but may not fit into neat boxes. A few of the strategies used by women in this study had been previously identified, such as the Sacrifice strategy by Strober and Weinberg (1980). Several of the Bird et al (1983) and Nickols and Fox (1983) strategies of doing less, organizing, and delegating were also seen.…”

“…Strober and Weinberg (1980) and Nickols and Fox (1983) found that families with a wife employed outside the home used more ''timebuying strategies'' (e.g., purchased child care, meals away from home, and disposable diapers) and also other ''time-saving strategies'' (e.g., reduced time in household production and in personal leisure activities). Hermann and Warland (1990) developed a five-category typology of shopper types based on consumers' use of nine recommended food shopping practices to improve performance.…”

Food-related tasks are demanding activities in all households because of their regularity, frequency, and centrality to family activities and relationships. This study develops typologies for food task orientations and strategies used by mothers, and studies the relationships among them. It uses a systems-based framework to examine related inputs and outcomes of these orientations and strategies and compares the situations of married and single mothers. The findings indicate some strategies are more successful than others as predictors of various work-family outcomes.

“…This corroborates studies that refer to the "double day," that is to the say, work performed by wives in and outside of the home, far surpassing in hours that of the husband's workday. The impact that this has on the wife's emotional and physical stability is damaging (Floro, 1995;Strober & Weinberg, 1980). The participants expressed their frustration, recalling their expectations at the onset of the relationship, that their partners would provide economic support.…”

The rupture of a conjugal relationship has both a positive and negative impact on the lives of immediate family members. Although for many women terminating marriage may signal freedom from an oppressive, even violent conjugal relationship, it is undeniable that this separation also results in strong social pressure and discrimination in certain contexts, a situation which limits the woman's freedom of action in and outside of the home. The purpose of this descriptive, phenomenological study is to explore the experiences of 15 Peruvian, urban-based mothers, all of whom made the decision to exchange marriage for single parenthood within the confines of a strong patriarchal system. The study follows the actions of the women as they seek to overcome obstacles related to parenting and the management of their respective households. Three emerging themes are identified in this study: (a) the development of the woman's relationship as wife and mother, (b) impact of the separation/divorce on the maternal role, and (c) experiences in the single parent household. Implications for social research studies and practice are discussed.

“…As such, studies were conducted under the assumption that working women feel time pressure. However, regardless of employment, full-time housewives also feel time pressure in a similar manner (Strober & Weinberg, 1980). According to a study by Joung and Kim (2002), housewives who feel time constraints are more likely to think they do not have time for shopping.…”

Studies show that time pressure affects the purchase decision-making process of consumers. However, in the case of apparel shopping, few studies have looked into the influence of time pressure on the purchase decision-making process. This study aims to determine how perceived time pressure in apparel shopping, time pressure situations, and product type and the interactions between these variables influence the clothing purchase process. An empirical study was conducted among males and females in their 20s and 30s. Perceived time pressure in apparel shopping was measured using four items. Time pressure situations and product types were given in the form of scenarios. A 2×2×2 experimental design was used, and perceived time pressure in apparel shopping, time pressure situations, and product type were used to create eight different situations. The dependent variables included decision-making speed, anticipated regret, and anticipated purchase satisfaction. Data from 512 subjects were collected through an online data collection. Results showed that the high perceived time pressure group and the shopping situation with time pressure involved a significantly high level of decision-making time, anticipated regret, and anticipated purchase satisfaction. Marketers must understand the real-time pressure situations of consumers.
