The scenario describes the spillover hypothesis, which suggests that experiences or emotions from one domain of life (such as work) can spill over into another domain (such as home). In this case, Robin's dissatisfaction with her job is spilling over into her life at home. The compensation hypothesis suggests that individuals may seek to compensate for dissatisfaction in one domain by finding satisfaction in another domain, while the segmentation hypothesis suggests that individuals can keep different domains of their lives separate from each other. These hypotheses do not fit the scenario as well as the spillover hypothesis.
