Professional Women: Are Distress and Disease Inevitable?
探讨职业女性面临的歧视、刻板印象、婚姻/工作冲突及社会孤立等独特压力源,分析压力管理不当的行为、生理和心理后果,并提出四种预防性压力管理调节因素(导师、控制点、自信、自我意识),最后列出未来研究方向。
The unique sources of stress for professional women are discrimination, stereotyping, the marriage/work interface, and social isolation. The behavioral, physiological, and psychological consequences of mismanaged stress are examined and four preventive stress management moderators specifically for professional women suggested. These moderators that influence the stress-strain relationships are a mentor, locus of control, self-confidence, and self-awareness. Finally, a three-point research agenda is outlined for extending understanding of stress among professional women.
