父親の仕事と家庭の多重役割と抑うつ度

―妻の就業の有無による比較―

抄録

　　This research examined the relationship between multiple roles of work, family, and depression. Data were obtained through questionnaires given to fathers with young children. While traditional research has focused on working mothers or dualearner couples, the focus of this paper is to compare of fathers by their wive's working conditions. An examination of the spillover indicated that fathers whose wives are working experienced strong negative spillover from family to work, but this did not predict depression. Marital quality also influenced depression of fathers whose wives are working. Our results suggest that it's important to consider the attitude of companies or government, as well as the ideas of individuals, on marital quality in order to understand the relationship between psychological health and multiple roles.
