Article Abstract
This study investigated depression and fear in dual-income parents during the COVID-19 pandemic as predictors of work-family conflict. Using a cross-sectional design, we recruited 214 dual-income parents aged 20 years or older with preschool and primary school children in Korea. Data were collected via an online survey. In the final model for hierarchical regression analysis, the strongest predictor of work-family conflict was depression (β = .43, < .001), followed by fear (β = .23, < .001), then weekly working hours (β = .12, < .05). The final model was statistically significant ( = 29.80, < .001), with an explanatory power of 35%. These findings highlight the need to provide dual-income parents with government-led disaster psychological support during COVID-19, such as counseling, education, and mental health management services involving the psychological predictors of work-family conflict. Diverse systematic intervention programs and policy support should also be provided to help them resolve work-family conflict.

The perinatal period is challenging for fathers, with shifts in roles, routine changes, and societal pressures which can lead to anxiety or depression, especially during postpartum.

Background: Partner support and work-life balance (WLB) are important for families' well-being. Previous research has linked perceived family support, WLB, and satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL); however, there is limited information regarding each parent's support from their partner. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, the work-home resources, and the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), this study examined the direct and indirect effects of parents' perceived partner support, WLB, and the SWFoL of dual-income parents and their adolescents, considering the moderating role of parents' gender-transcendent attitudes.
