Abstract
Involuntary participation in family work is conceptualized as a form of role strain measured by the disparity between the amount of responsibility that husbands & wives would prefer to assume in the home & the amount of family work they actually perform, often leading to violence against their children. It is argued that differences of this kind are more likely to be associated with mothers' violence than fathers'. Regression analysis of scale data collected from a national sample of US parents in 1976 supports this hypothesis. However, the association between such role strain & violence is quite weak, suggesting that additional research is required in formulating & measuring this relationship. 4 Tables, 2 Figures, 35 References.
