The effect of daily hassles, reported managerial behavior, family adaptability and cohesion on family health

An Exploratory Study of the Relationship Between Family Daily Hassles and Family Coping and Managing Strategies

“…At the same time, however, these family daily hassles (except for household chores) were perceived by mothers and fathers in a positive way. These findings lend empirical support to the idea that the dimensions of daily hassles are important and should be investigated further (Garrison & Hira, 1992;Kanner et al, 1981;Norem et al, 2001;Rollins et al, 2002). As reported by both mothers and fathers in the current study, managing strategies were used by families more than was expected.…”

“…These findings are analogous to those from another study reporting that managerial behavior is affected more by the positive influence of family daily hassles than by the time and energy involvement or the negative influence of daily hassles (Garrison & Hira, 1992). These findings are analogous to those from another study reporting that managerial behavior is affected more by the positive influence of family daily hassles than by the time and energy involvement or the negative influence of daily hassles (Garrison & Hira, 1992).…”

“…The findings from this study begin to confirm an intuitive belief about what kinds of stressors tax families; such stressors were financial matters, household chores, child care or school-related matters, work duties, and transportation and traffic. These findings lend empirical support to the idea that the dimensions of daily hassles are important and should be investigated further (Garrison & Hira, 1992;Kanner et al, 1981;Norem et al, 2001;Rollins et al, 2002). At the same time, however, these family daily hassles (except for household chores) were perceived by mothers and fathers in a positive way.…”

“…Garrison and Winter (1986) examined the managerial behavior of families with preschool children and found that reported family managerial behavior is more a function of family composition than of socioeconomic-demographic characteristics. In another study, Garrison and Hira (1992) found that family health was influenced by three dimensions of daily hassles, and reported managerial behavior was found to have a significant positive relationship. In another study, Garrison and Hira (1992) found that family health was influenced by three dimensions of daily hassles, and reported managerial behavior was found to have a significant positive relationship.…”

“…Heck et al (1992) concluded that people tend to consciously organize paid work instead of family work, as evidenced by their research on home-based workers. In another study, Garrison and Hira (1992) found that family health was influenced by three dimensions of daily hassles, and reported managerial behavior was found to have a significant positive relationship.…”
