Aspects of Levinson's 1978 theory of adult development were used to examine women's progress across the mid-life transition. The subjects were 126 married, Caucasian mothers, ages 37 to 47 years. Contrary to prediction, age-related differences in marital distress were not found. For the sample as a whole, marital distress was related to a family history of distress, difficulty in parent-child relations, and inequitable task-sharing with spouses. Some of the difficulties for women in combining family and career within the context of current social and family structures are discussed.
运用莱文森1978年成人发展理论的相关方面来研究女性在中年转型期的进展情况。研究对象为126名已婚的白人母亲，年龄在37岁至47岁之间。与预测相反，未发现婚姻困扰与年龄相关的差异。对于整个样本而言，婚姻困扰与困扰的家族史、亲子关系困难以及与配偶任务分担不均有关。文中讨论了在当前社会和家庭结构背景下，女性在兼顾家庭和事业方面所面临的一些困难。
