Role Demands, Privacy and Psychological Well-Being

John Collette

Department of Sociology, University of Utah.

Data from a 1973-74 survey and a five year follow-up survey in 1979, both conducted in New Zealand, are analyzed with regard to gender differences in role obligations, privacy and psychological well-being. The findings support the hypothesis that women are the primary providers of nurturance to family members. Women, more than men reported reductions in privacy because of their role obligations. Reduced privacy in turn caused a reduction in psychological well-being.

Les données de l'enquête de 1973-74, et ceux d'une autre en 1979, poursuivie pendant 5 ans sont analysées. Les deux enquêtes réalisees à la Nouvelle Zelande. Ces données concernent les differences entre les sexes quant aux rôles d'obligation, l'intimité et le bien-être psychologique. Les conclusions soutiennent l'hypothèse selon laquelle les femmes sont les principales fournisseuses de soins aux membres de la famille. L'intimité des femmes est réduite plus que les hommes; ceçi étant dû aux r6les d'obligation. L'intimité diminuée, à son tour provoque une baisse dans le bien-être psychologique.
