Conflict Between Family and Work Roles
SELF Project Line 4
Turning the focus to within-societal factors that shape the relative emphasis of independence-interdependence, respectively, Project Line 4 will ask the central question: How well do people manage to balance and integrate work and family domains in their lives? In particular, the impact of broader societal contexts on the emergence and on differential salience of family- and work-roles is still understudied. Dissertation projects of this project line will investigate the degree of interdependent or independent self-construal as one crucial underlying determinant for individual changes in role salience through interaction. Agent-based models, where individuals forming a society would be assigned heterogeneous characteristics, could generate new hypotheses in this regard.
