Workplace flexibility, work –family interface, and psychological distress: differences by family caregiving obligations and gender
AbstractDrawing on data from the 2008 U.S. National Study of the Changing Workforce, this study (1) examines the associations between access to three types of flexible working arrangements —flextime, flexplace, and culture of flexibility—and psychological distress, (2) tests the mediating roles of work–family conflict and work–family enrichment, and (3) investigates whether these relationships differ by workers’ childcare or elder-care obligations as they intersect with gend er.

Individual and Dyadic Health-Related Quality of Life of People Living with Dementia and their Caregivers
AbstractMany interventions target dyads of people living with Alzheimer ’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers. Without a dyadic measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), cost-utility analyses of these interventions require using the HRQOL of people with ADRD and caregivers, separately. We developed a dyadic measure of HRQOL that incorpo rates the interdependence between HRQOL of people living with ADRD and their caregivers and measures the dyad’s collective benefits. First, we estimated dyadic HRQOL time trade-off-weights (TTO-weights), a dyadic preference-based measure of HRQOL. Second,...

The Effect of Intolerance of Uncertainty on State Anxiety in the Regular Epidemic Prevention and Control Phase in the Context of Informatization: A Moderated Chain Mediation Model
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to a generally high level of state anxiety resulting from the high contagiousness of the disease and strict prevention and control policies. The present study mainly focused on the relationship between the individual intolerance of uncertainty and state anxiety in the regular epidemic prevention and control phase in China, and aimed to investigate the mediating role of information overload and rumination, as well as the moderating role of self-compassion. A total of 992 Chinese residents from 31 provinces participated in this study, and completed questionnaires regarding intolerance of...
