| Abstract: | Some sources and manifestations of stress in 152 two-earner couples at different life-stages were examined. Parents, non-parents or transitionals between these two stages participated in the study. There was little evidence that couples expecting their first child and intending to resume a two-career life-style experienced anticipatory stress. Parents, especially mothers, experienced more pressures than non-parents. The negative impact of parenthood on well-being was greater for fathers. Using multivariate analysis it was found that organizational, extra-organizational and individual difference factors were associated with stress for all couples. Implications for practice and for future research are discussed. |
