Abstract

Participants in a questionnaire survey about stress were 246 Japanese working mothers and 131 non-employed mothers. Work-related stress and work hours accounted for negative spillover from work to family. Analyses of Variance showed a direct negative spillover effect on depressive symptoms. In addition, path analysis showed indirect negative spillover effects on depressive symptoms via both the marital relationship and stress over childrearing. An increase in the amount of negative spillover tended to cause greater marital discord as well as childrearing stress. Moreover, marital discord and childrearing stress in turn increased depressive symptoms. The implication of this study was that an intervention to enhance marital relationships and reduce childrearing stress can alleviate the effects of negative spillover on depressive symptoms. Reduction of work stress and work hours also appeared to be helpful for reducing negative spillover.
