Family adaptation of single parents in the United States Army: An empirical analysis of work stressors and adaptive resources

  • Bowen, G.L., Orthner, D.K., & Zimmerman, L.I. (1993). Family adaptation of single parents in the United States Army: An empirical analysis of work stressors and adaptive resources. Family Relations, 42(3), 293-304. doi:10.2307/585559
  • 94 single fathers and 144 single mothers who were Active Duty U.S. Army Soldiers participated in a survey examining the contributions of work stressors, family and community resources, and Army support resources to family adaptation. For both single mothers and fathers, resource variables (e.g., unit support, informal community support) were more powerful predictors of adaptation to the demands of being an Army family than work stressors.
