The stress of an unemployed
spouse can affect the productivity
and home life of the employed
partner, according to a
new study.
University of Colorado Boulder
associate professor Maw-
Der Foo, who studies employee
workplace issues and interpersonal
relationships, and lead
author Professor Zhaoli Song of
the National University of Singapore
examined married couples
in Shenyang, China, where
one partner was employed and
the other was not. The daily
stress felt by each spouse was
assessed.
The interaction between marital
life and professional life of the
unemployed spouse and the employed
one was examined.
Since both the partners responded
to the experiment,
the researchers could compare
The researchers found that the
couples were better at sharing
the burden than helping to alleviate
it.
“If you feel bad at home there
is going to be spill over at work
where you will also feel lousy.
Going into the study we thought
that marital support might help
alleviate the stress of unemployment
on the family unit,
but it didn’’t turn out to be the
case,” said Foo.
He said the study shows workplaces
should be more sensitive
and supportive when their employees

their employees fulfil their family
roles, which in turn may increase

One of the unique parts of the
study is that they studied couples’
interactions daily for two
weeks.
In particular, they looked at
what is called the ‘crossover
effect’, a situation when each
partner catches the stress of the
other.
The researchers hope that the
findings may provide practical
insight to family counsellors,
psychotherapist and other experts
who aim to prevent relationship
breakdown.
The study was published in the
January edition of the Journal of
Applied Psychology.
