Sources of social support as predictors of health, psychological well-being and life satisfaction among Dutch male and female dual-earners.

We examined whether gender differences in health, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction, can be explained by effects of work-related and nonwork-related sources of social support. The sample consisted of 459 men and women from dual earner families. Men report better health and psychological well-being than women, whereas women report higher life satisfaction than men.
