The findings reveal that for mothers from intact families, WFC is a predictor of children's externalizing problems throughout their childhood and adolescence. However, for fathers from intact families and sole mothers, WFC is not associated with children's externalizing problems. Moreover, while the association between paternal irritability and children's externalizing problems exists for all groups of parents, it is stronger for mothers than for fathers. These results highlight the potential negative outcomes for children resulting from parental distress in an adverse context of weak family policies in a liberal welfare state and the persistence of traditional gender values in couples. Este estudio examina el impacto del conflicto trabajo-familia (CTF) y la irritabilidad de los padres en los problemas de externalización de los niños en diversas estructuras familiares en Australia. Los hallazgos revelan que para las madres de familias intactas, la CTF es un predictor de los problemas de externalización de los niños a lo largo de su niñez y adolescencia. Sin embargo, para los padres de familias intactas y madres solteras, la CTF no está asociada con los problemas de externalización de los niños. Además, si bien la asociación entre la irritabilidad paterna y los problemas de externalización de los niños existe para todos los grupos de familias, es más fuerte para las madres que para los padres. Estos resultados resaltan los posibles resultados negativos para los niños derivados de la angustia de los padres en un contexto adverso de políticas familiares débiles en un estado de bienestar liberal y la persistencia de valores de género tradicionales en las parejas application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9154 10.62174/{psocial}.v9i2.9154 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9154/8264 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9154/8265 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9154/8266 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9154/8267 Copyright (c) 2024 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 2422-619X Sociology; Social Psychology; Gender Studies work-family conflict, parents’ irritability, externalizing problems of children, parenting, family structure Balancing Work and Family: The Impact of Work-Family Conflict on Children's Behavior in Australia quilibrio entre el trabajo y la familia: El impacto del conflicto trabajo-familia en el comportamiento de los niños en Australia info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Empirical https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=psocial&d=9154_oai
