female participants who have completed a master's,
doctoral, or professional (e.g., medicine, law) degree
in any field of study and are currently employed with
at least one child under the age of 18 living at home.
Participation would involve completing a short,

their study. Please send an email to Kerris.L.Oates@biola.edu for
