In this study, we bring a life course approach to work-family research and ask how work-home spillover changes as men and women move through different parenting stages. We use two waves of the Mid-Life in the United States Study (MIDUS I and II, 1996-2004, N=1,319) and estimate change-score models to document the association between five parenting transitions (becoming a parent, starting to parent a school-aged child, an adolescent, young adult, or adult child) and changes in both positive and negative work-to-home (WHS) and home-to-work (HWS) spillover, testing for gender differences in these associations. We find that moving through parenting stages is related to within-person changes in reports of work-home spillover, and that mothers and fathers encounter changes in spillover at different points in the life course. Our findings detail how transitions through parenthood produce a gendered life course, and speaks to the need for policies to support working parents throughout the life course.
在本研究中，我们采用生命历程方法进行工作-家庭研究，并探讨随着男性和女性经历不同的育儿阶段，工作-家庭溢出效应如何变化。我们使用了美国中年研究（MIDUS I和II，1996 - 2004年，N = 1319）的两波数据，并估计变化分数模型，以记录五个育儿转变（成为父母、开始养育学龄儿童、青少年、青年成年人或成年子女）与正向和负向工作对家庭（WHS）以及家庭对工作（HWS）溢出效应变化之间的关联，检验这些关联中的性别差异。我们发现，经历育儿阶段与工作-家庭溢出效应报告中的个体内部变化有关，并且母亲和父亲在生命历程的不同阶段会遇到溢出效应的变化。我们的研究结果详细说明了为人父母的转变如何产生一个具有性别差异的生命历程，并表明需要制定政策来支持工作父母度过整个生命历程。
