Abstract
Results are presented from a study that examined the relationship between gender orientation and the unique stresses and gratifications for men who are engaged in caregiving tasks traditionally performed by women. The men report having found emotional gratification an important motivating factor, and they tended to ascribe to themselves many affective traits usually associated with the female role.Keywords
