  • How are Work–Family Policies Related to the Gendered Division of Domestic Labor?
    Sociology Compass, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sarah Beth Estes
    Abstract:

    Work–family policies are commonly thought to aid parents in attending to their conflicting work and family responsibilities. Some scholars postulate that policies might detract from the gendered division of Domestic Labor, in which women take a greater responsibility for housework and childcare than men, while others expect that policies encourage women to maintain traditional family roles even while employed. A review of cross-national research in market economies shows that policies are not uniformly related to the gendered division of Domestic Labor, although parental leave offers the most promising avenue through which the gendered division of Domestic Labor may be diminished.

  • do workplace flexibility policies influence time spent in Domestic Labor
    Journal of Family Issues, 2007
    Co-Authors: Mary C Noonan, Sarah Beth Estes, Jennifer Glass
    Abstract:

    Using data from a U.S. midwestern sample of mothers and fathers, the authors examine whether using workplace flexibility policies alters time spent in housework and child care. They hypothesize that an individual’s policy use will lead to more time in Domestic Labor and that his or her spouse’s policy use will lead to less time in Domestic Labor. Several results support their hypotheses. Mothers who work part-time spend more time in housework and their husbands spend less time in housework. Also, mothers who work at home spend more time in child care. One policy has the opposite of the predicted effect: Wives with flexible work schedules do less housework, and their husbands do more. Overall, mothers’ policy use has counterbalancing effects on their own and their spouses’ Domestic Labor time, implying that policy use has little net impact on total Domestic Labor time within dual-earner families.

  • response thresholds and demand withdraw communication in Domestic Labor conflict
    Journal of Family Communication, 2018
    Co-Authors: Kendra Knight, Janet Alberts
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACTGuided by Alberts, Tracy, and Trethewey’s (2011) integrated theory of the division of Domestic Labor (ITDDL), this study examines the influence of Domestic Labor response threshold on demand/withdraw communication in Domestic Labor conflict. Response threshold represents the point at which a negative stimulus produced by an unperformed task is of sufficient intensity to compel an individual to attend to it. One hundred and fifty-five heterosexual marital dyads (mean length of marriage = 19.98 years) completed an online questionnaire about their household Labor conflict and response thresholds. Response thresholds were assessed using a photograph-based measure, and data were analyzed via an actor-partner interdependence model. Consistent with theoretical predictions, a significant actor-threshold-by-partner-threshold-by-sex interaction predicted reported demand/withdraw in Domestic Labor conflict. Individuals with low or mean response thresholds reported more self-demand/partner-withdraw the higher...
