| Abstract | Although middle-aged women, those most likely to have an elderly parent, comprise the fastest growing segment of the labor force, little is known regarding how these women's increased labor force participation affects their relationships with their aging parents. To explore this issue, a study was conducted which compared the mother-daughter relationships of 15 employed and 22 unemployed married women whose elderly mothers were widowed. Daughters completed a questionnaire on filial behavior, filial role strain, and relationship quality; rated the amount of assistance they gave to their mothers; rated role strain; and completed a modified version of Bengtson's Affectual Solidarity Scale. Twenty-four of the 37 elderly mothers also completed the Affectual Solidarity Scale and rated their current level of happiness. The results indicated that, compared to unemployed daughters, the full time employed daughters had significantly worse filial relationships, scored lower on the Affectual Solidarity Scale, and scored higher on measures of role strain and role demand overload. Compared to mothers of unemployed women, the mothers of employed women also reported lower affectual solidarity and somewhat lower scores on self-perceived happiness. (Author/NB) |
