The sources of stress on the wives of commercial airline pilots
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the pilot's job on the personal and life satisfaction of his wife. A representative sample of 282 wives of commercial airline pilots was investigated to empirically determine which sources of stress and demographic characteristics would predict life dissatisfaction. It was found, using multiple regression analysis, that life dissatisfaction was significantly predicted by "domestic role overload," and "the job's impact on social life," particularly for wives whose husbands worked for smaller airlines. In addition, the wives were concerned about the "fear of husband's job loss."
