This study investigates whether workplace aggression experienced by one or both members of a
couple accounts for increases in the psychological distress of the victim's partner. Viewing the
work-family interface and stress-strain processes as dyadic, and open to interindividual and
interdomain contagion, analyses were conducted on matched data from a large-scale population
health survey containing information on both working adults from 2,904 couples. Multilevel
analysis of bidirectional crossover, while controlling for common stressors, supports the proposition of a crossover of stress resulting from workplace aggression. This finding highlights the complexities of work-family dynamics and of the deep penetration of workplace aggression into the lives of dual-earner partners.
