Mt. Holyoke College Parenting Study

MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE
Department of Psychology
A STUDY ON PARENTING AND FAMILY LIFE
My professor, Francine M. Deutsch (Department of Psychology), is studying how parents balance housework and childcare. We are particularly interested in finding families where fathers share the load of the household chores and parenting tasks. Participating couples will each take part in a 15-minute phone interview with a student research assistant.


We are looking for families in which:
  • Both spouses work at least 20 hours a week for pay
  • Both are native speakers
  • Both agree to participate in the interviews.
All the information from this study will be treated as strictly confidential, and your name will be kept separate from your data.

If you are interested in our study, please fill out the attached sign-up sheet. If you have any questions or would like to sign up later, please feel free to contact me at Fong Ta: ta20p@mtholyoke.edu or 413-230-6793.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
