Abstract: Adopting an ecological perspective, the purpose of this study was to examine how role management related to levels of stress in families with preschool handicapped children. The independent variable, role management, was divided into three parts for investigation: role accumulation, role congruence, and satisfaction with the performance of roles. The dependent measures of stress were time demands, social support, family integration, and family opportunities.
