Relationships between Parental Attachment, Work and Family Roles, and Life Satisfaction
Perrone, Kristin M.; Webb, L. Kay; Jackson, Z. Vance
Career Development Quarterly, v55 n3 p237-248 Mar 2007
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parental attachment and satisfaction with work and family roles, as well as the relationship of these variables to life satisfaction. Results from a multiple regression analysis indicated that satisfaction with work and marriage, but not parenting satisfaction or parental attachment, was significantly related to life satisfaction. Responses to open-ended questions indicated that parental attachment relationships affected participants' career, marriage, parenting, and life satisfaction in varied and complex ways. Implications for counselors and directions for future research are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)
