摘要
This qualitative study of 15 dual-career couples examines the connection between partners' professional identity and coping behaviors implemented in response to work and family stressors. The analysis provided evidence that dual-career couples enact professional and family identities that rely on being competent and responsible in both work and family roles. Coping patterns fell into similar patterns across work and family domains, but strategy use was unique by domain and reflective of couples' belief in the value of interdependent interactions.
