Psychological and physiological stress responses related to work and family were investigated in 21 female and 21 male managers and professional specialists in high-ranking positions. The main result was that both women and men experienced their jobs as challenging and stimulating, although almost all data indicated a more favorable situation for men than for women. In addition, women were more stressed by their greater unpaid workload and by a greater responsibility for duties related to home and family. Women had higher norepinephrine levels than men did, both during and after work, which reflected their greater workload. Women with children at home had significantly higher norepinephrine levels after work than did the other participants. The possible long-term health consequences of women's higher stress levels are discussed.
对21名担任高级职位的女性和21名男性经理及专业专家进行了与工作和家庭相关的心理和生理应激反应调查。主要结果是，尽管几乎所有数据都表明男性的情况比女性更有利，但男性和女性都认为他们的工作具有挑战性和刺激性。此外，女性因无薪工作量更大以及对家庭和家务相关职责承担更大责任而承受更多压力。无论在工作期间还是工作之后，女性的去甲肾上腺素水平都高于男性，这反映了她们更大的工作量。家中有孩子的女性在工作后的去甲肾上腺素水平明显高于其他参与者。文中讨论了女性较高压力水平可能产生的长期健康后果。
