Role Behavior, Relative Deprivation, and Depression among Women in One- and Two-Job Families.

Keith, Pat M.; Schafer, Robert B.

Family Relations, v34 n2 p227-33 Apr 1985

Examined how assessments of role behavior in the family and relative deprivation in work-family situations were linked with depression among homemakers (N=130) and employed married women (N=135). Results showed that negative evaluations of role behavior in the family were more depressing to homemakers than to employed women. (NRB)
