초록

We argue that when adolescents do housework with their parents there are more beneficial consequences for their emotional well-being than when they do the tasks alone. We also argue that teens find it less stressful to do household tasks with their mothers than with their fathers. We test these arguments using survey data and the Experience Sampling Method data from the Sloan 500 Family Study. Using survey data, we find that the more time teens spend on housework with their mothers, the lower their depressive symptoms, but the more time they spend on housework alone, the higher the symptoms. These associations are not observed for housework time with fathers. Using the Experience Sampling Method data, we also find a consistent pattern: when performing household tasks, adolescents report feeling the most stressed when they are with their fathers and the least stressed when they are with their mothers, with stress levels in the middle for housework done alone.
