The impact of the transition to parenthood for dual-earner couples was examined in a longitudinal study. Data were collected by questionnaire from couples expecting their first child, during pregnancy and after maternity leave, and from childless couples at two separate time points. The impact of the transition was minimal overall, although women experienced more pressure than men and there were some cases of extreme stress. New single-earner parents reported a greater decline in life satisfaction than dual-earners.
一项纵向研究考察了双职工夫妻向为人父母角色转变的影响。通过问卷调查收集了数据，这些数据来自于怀孕期及产假后迎来第一个孩子的夫妻，以及来自无子女夫妻的两个不同时间点的数据。尽管女性比男性经历了更多压力，并且存在一些极端压力的案例，但这种转变的总体影响最小。新的单职工父母报告的生活满意度下降幅度比双职工更大。
