The effect of children on the psychological well-being of parents

The goal of my research is to examine the psychological well-being differences between parents and non-parents and examine the major factors that mediate the relationship between parenting and well-being. I formulate and test two models, one that incorporates the interactions implied by the social role framework and a second that examines the context of parenting suggested by the role context framework. In doing so, I use three specific role strains suggested by the literature to impact the depression levels of individuals generally and parents specifically: (1) perceived economic strain, (2) perceived general and intimate relationship strain, and (3) perceived familial role strain.
