Effects of daily stress at work on mothers' interactions with preschoolers

Article Abstract:

Working mothers with preschoolers become more emotionally withdrawn rather than irritable when suffering from job stressors such as increased workload and interpersonal problems at work. A study of working mothers' behavior as they meet their child at the end of the day reveals that mothers who do not experience psychological distress are mostly unaffected by the negative impact of daily parenting stress, except when they experience interpersonal problems at work.
