The purpose of this study was to examine the development of work and family
plans in young adults, and to clarify the long-term stability, prevalence, and
consequences of anticipated work-family conflict. The study utilizes Super's model of
career development and social cognitive career theory, as well as research on current
work-family interface, as a framework for understanding the period of anticipating and
planning for multiple role integration that occurs between adolescence and adulthood. A
sample of 48 male and 52 female college students assessed two years prior completed
self-report questionnaires measuring work, marriage, and parenting experience;
anticipated work-family conflict; and multiple-role planning. Results of this study suggest
that students desire both a career and a family, and recognize potential challenges of a
multiple-role lifestyle. Such recognition of anticipated work-family conflict varies by
conflict domains and measurement methods, but remains stable over two years.
Results also suggest that anticipated work-family conflict does not mediate the
relationship between experience and planning; instead, marriage experience predicts
planning directly. Implications for the findings are discussed as are suggestions for
directions of new research concerning anticipated work-family conflict and planning for
multiple roles.
