Shomi Shahar-Rosenblum

 

I am a PhD student in Social Psychology under the supervision of Dr. Nechumi Yaffe from Tel Aviv University and Prof. Tamar Saguy from Reichman University. My research focuses on what we term the “third shift”—the invisible mental load involved in managing family and household responsibilities. I investigate how this mental load is distributed between partners, its impact on life satisfaction, marital and career fulfillment, parent–child relationships, and overall well-being. I also explore ways to promote a more equitable division of responsibilities between partners through awareness-based interventions. I received my M.A. in Learning Disabilities and my B.A. in Statistics and Political Science, both from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, as well as a B.Ed. in Special Education and Jewish Studies from Jerusalem College.
