This study investigated gender differences in caregiving tasks, role strains, and resources to account for gender variations in burden among a probability sample of employed, nonspousal caregivers (N = 413). Females were more likely to assist with care provision tasks, to report work role strains, and to experience higher levels of burden than males. After controlling for known sociodemographic dissimilarities in predicting burden, the effect of gender decreased at each step when caregiver tasks, work role strains, and resources were entered into the regression equation. Results suggest that these differences may partially explain the greater negative impact experienced by nonspousal, female caregivers.
本研究调查了在职非配偶照顾者（N = 413）概率样本中，照顾任务、角色压力和资源方面的性别差异，以解释负担方面的性别差异。与男性相比，女性更有可能协助提供照顾任务、报告工作角色压力，并承受更高水平的负担。在控制了预测负担时已知的社会人口统计学差异后，当将照顾者任务、工作角色压力和资源纳入回归方程时，性别效应在每一步都有所降低。结果表明，这些差异可能部分解释了非配偶女性照顾者所经历的更大负面影响。
