In memoriam – Dr. William A. Reese II
It is with great sadness that we share news of the death of editorial board member, Dr. William A. Reese II (1947–2020). Bill graduated from the University of Houston in 1970 with a B.S. in Psychol
Challenges of Using Secondary Data to Study Rural Caregiving within the United States
When health fails, rural residents often turn to informal caregivers for assistance and are more likely to do so than those living in urban areas. Scholarship is clear in demonstrating the many burdens that accrue to those providing informal care. Furthermore, caregivers in rural areas face amplified health disparities and stressors, and limited access to resources and formalized supports. Yet, the study of informal caregiving within geographic c…
Department Environment and Work-to-Life Conflict Among Faculty in the STEM Fields
Identifying factors contributing to work-to-life conflict among STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) faculty members is crucial to improving how STEM faculty manage multiple roles. This study examines how both positive (psychological safety) and negative (perceived injustice) features of the departmental environment predict work-to-life conflict among STEM faculty. We also consider whether gender moderates how each facet of th…
Romantic relationships, college student alcohol use, and negative consequences of drinking
This study examined whether being in a romantic relationship is associated with undergraduates’ alcohol use and negative consequences of drinking. Alcohol use was operationalized to include amount and frequency of drinking, binge drinking, and drunkenness. Negative consequences included: having a hangover, missing a class, getting behind in school work, doing something that was later regretted, forgetting where the student was or what they did, h…
Mothers’ and Fathers’ Ratings of Parental Involvement
In this paper, we examine how married dual-earner mothers and fathers of preschool-age children rate their own involvement in parenting, and their spouse’s involvement in parenting. Five dimensions of parenting are examined: discipline, support for spouse, spending time with children, praise and affection, and attentiveness. Several comparisons between mothers’ and fathers’ ratings are made. We find that both mothers and fathers rated themselves …
Quantity and Quality
The current study uses family systems and gender theories to look at three forms of family work (housework, emotion work, and child care) and their association with marital satisfaction and burnout. Data were taken from a sample of dual-earner mothers and fathers parenting preschool-age children. First, relationships between the quantity of family work performed and marital well-being were established. Then, measures related to the perceived “qua…
University Service Work in STEM Departments
Using expectancy theory as a framework, we use focus group and climate survey (N = 114) data from a midsize university to explore the gendered nature of university service work among science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty. Focus group data highlighted the divergent perceptions of STEM faculty women and department chairs about the importance of service work and its outcomes. Climate survey data indicated that STEM women f…
School Spillover and College Student Health
This article uses a stress carryover perspective to examine the association between school spillover and mental and behavioral health outcomes among college undergraduates. School spillover occurs when the obligations and pressures of student life extend into other domains through shared behaviors or stress. The sample (N = 250) consisted of undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 29 enrolled at a midsized midwestern university. Finding…
Workplace Climate and STEM Faculty Women’s Job Burnout
We examine aspects of the workplace climate associated with job burnout among STEM university faculty: access to information, faculty influence in decision-making, scholarly isolation, coworker social support, and interpersonal conflict. Data were taken from a survey of faculty in STEM departments at a midsized Midwestern university (N = 117). While controlling for rank and tenure status, STEM faculty—particularly women—who reported less access t…

Stressors associated with the school spillover of college undergraduates
In this paper, stressors associated with university students' school spillover are examined. Spillover occurs when stress transfers from one domain to another (e.g., school to family). Data were taken from a sample of undergraduates age 18–29 enrolled at a mid-size Midwestern university (N = 250). The strongest associations with school spillover were those related to academics and coursework, and interpersonal conflicts. Among the significant str…

Spillover and Crossover of Work-to-Family Conflict and the Health Behaviors of Dual-Earner Parents with Young Children
Scholars have identified an association between one's own work-family conflict and health. Yet the study of work-family intersections implicitly calls into question the roles played by multiple members in the family system. A contagion model is used to examine health behaviors and work-to-family conflict among dual-earner parents of young children—for whom role obligations are high and competing. Controlling for workplace characteristics, percept…
Gender differences in college binge drinking
In this paper the associations among binge drinking, depression, and school-related stress are examined for a sample of college men and women. Data are taken from a survey of 248 undergraduate students at the University of North Dakota – located in a state with high underage and binge drinking rates. The current study challenges past work showing that college women are more likely to respond to depression by binge drinking: depression is indirect…
Work and Family Stressors and the Quality of Father-Child Relationships
Recognizing the linkages among family, neighborhood, and work, this study examines whether neighborhood resources (neighborhood satisfaction and informal helping) mediate the relationships between job stressors (work hours, job inflexibility, and work-to-family conflict), family stressors (housework hours and family-to-work conflict), and father-child relationship quality. We performed OLS regressions on data from fathers (N = 85) from a random s…
The Good Mother, the Good Father, and the Good Parent
Focus groups were conducted with parents of young children to explore definitions of good parenting. For mothers, good mothering is distinct from good parenting, and includes attention to detail resulting in gatekeeping efforts to control fathers' participation. For fathers, good fathering and good parenting are the same. Though providing relatively little child care, fathers feel they have access to children when they want to be involved. They d…
Self- and Spouse-Reported Work–Family Conflict and Dual-Earners’ Job Satisfaction
We add to the literature on job satisfaction by examining the role played by self-reported and spouse-reported work–family conflict for dual-earner husbands and wives (N = 156 couples, 312 individuals), a contagion model of work and family. Two path models of job satisfaction were tested: a spillover model, including the respondent's work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, and a crossover model, including the spouse's perception of t…
“I Want to Stand on My Own Legs”
A review of the antiretroviral therapy (ART) literature revealed that not a single published study has examined the factors that influence patients' adherence to HIV medications in the Arab world. To mend this gap, this qualitative study collected data via face-to-face interviews with 27 HIV-positive Egyptian women who had been on ART for at least three months. Using a thematic analysis technique, five themes were identified: fear of stigma, fina…
The division of child care among couples with young children
In this article, we present a qualitative analysis of couples’ child care arrangements using an empowerment model. Data are taken from gender-segregated focus group interviews with eight married, co-residential couples parenting young children. We analyze this data using an empowerment model that focuses on individuals’ experiences recognizing and acting on opportunities to exercise control, which in this case we conceptualize as preferences for …
Using a Value-Added Approach to Assess the Sociology Major
Universities across the nation have been called upon to provide evidence of student learning through direct means of assessment. Value-added assessment, which aims to document the development of student learning from the beginning of the university experience to the end, has been called “accountability’s new frontier” by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. In response to an internal university initiative, the Department o…
Exploring the Relationship Between Types of Family Work and Marital Well-Being
We use an expanded definition of family work and test its association with marital well-being. Using a gender perspective, we examine the role of the respondent's and partner's performance of family work for both husbands and wives. Data are taken from a sample of couples with dependent children under age 18 (N = 96), and separate regression equations are estimated by gender. Though housework is cited as one of the most contentious issues reporte…
The emotional terrain of parenting and marriage
This study examines how the division of labor surrounding emotion work relates to the marital satisfaction of husbands and wives. The analysis is performed on data from a random sample of couples with at least one child from a northern city in a western state (N = 96 couples). Results suggest that for both husbands and wives the emotion work received from and performed for their spouse is significantly and positively related to marital satisfacti…

Getting by with a Little Help from Workplace Friends
Studies have shown a negative association between certain aspects of workplace culture and family functioning. Using a neo-institutional framework, we examine whether workplace social support moderates the influence of three features of workplace culture—time demands, work pressure, and work strain—on family cohesion. Analyzing survey data from 312 individuals in dual-earner relationships, we control for number of children, education, income, emp…
Tending to the Emotions of Children
Scholars, recognizing emotion work as a type of domestic labor, have examined whether domestic labor theories explain emotion work. Few studies, however, have investigated the predictors of emotion work with children. In this study, the authors examine the usefulness of 3 domestic labor theories (i.e., time availability, relative resources, and gender ideology) in explaining relative emotion work with children. Data are from a random sample of co…

Women’s work and “women’s work”
In the context of religious expectations that their primary obligations should be child care and maintenance of the home, how do Church of Latter-day Saint (LDS) women and their spouses view the relationship between women’s work and the family? Are these perceptions similar or dissimilar for men and women? This study addresses the work–family nexus by examining associations among religiosity, traditional gender ideology, work-to-family spillover,…

The sociological literature on teach ing and learning includes a number of dis cussions devoted to the importance of multi cultural education (Lucal 1996; Martin 1996; Moremen 1997). Much of this litera ture encourages educators to revise the cur riculum and shows how the experience of multicultural education can stimulate stu dents' sociological imaginations (Thompson and Tyagi 1993).
