Dr. Stephan Desrochers
Dr. Stephan Desrochers was the Berger Institute's first Postdoctoral Fellow. Dr. Desrochers's research interest is in the interface of work, family, and gender. His research addresses work and family from a social psychological perspective, focusing on the linkages among demands and expectations, roles and self-attitudes, psychological well-being, and involvement behavior as they relate to the life domains of work, family, and gender. The research falls along the following lines of inquiry:
- How does identification with fatherhood relate to father involvement and children's well-being?
- How does the male gender role influence the course of interpersonal relationships?
- Who tends to perceive a blurred boundary between work and family life, and what are its implications for well-being?
- When are commitments to work and family experienced as stressful and when are they seen as balanced or integrated
Dr. Desrochers is now Assistant Professor at the University of Maine at Farmington.
