“…Higher scores indicate higher psychological strain. For details on construct and convergent validity of the GWBQ, see Cox et al (1983). Notably, in the current study four items with low factor loadings were removed from the scale to create a good fitting one-factor measure, χ 2 (15) = 50.36, p< .001, CFI = .97.…”

“…Psychological strain was measured using 12-items from the General WellBeing Questionnaire (GWBQ) (Cox, Thirlaway, Gotts, & Cox, 1983). The 12 items are scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "all the time" (e.g., how often within the past six months "Have things tended to get on your nerves and wear you out?").…”

The current study used multi-group structural equation modeling (SEM) to test a fully-and partially-mediated Extended Rational Model of Work-Life Conflict and examined the impact of job involvement, workaholism, work intensity, organisational expectations and support, and having children on work hours, worklife conflict and psychological strain in male and female academics. In total, 410 academics from three Irish universities completed an electronic questionnaire survey.Results indicated both commonalities and differences in the factors that influence work hours, work-life conflict and levels of psychological strain in men and women.Lower organisation expectations predicted longer working hours in both men and women; additional unique predictors of longer working hours in men were higher work intensity and having children; conversely, higher work enjoyment predicted longer working hours in women, but not men. Higher work intensity predicted higher work-life conflict in men and women. In the final best fitting model, longer work hours predicted higher levels of work-life conflict in women only. Findings are discussed in light of research and theory on work-life balance and the challenge of facilitating productivity and well-being in academia.

The influence of perceived prison crowding on male inmates' perception of aggressive events

This study examines whether, in a male prison, the subjective experience of crowding increases the likelihood that events are perceived as aggressive in nature, and whether the protagonists involved are viewed as more hostile, malevolent, and aggressive. In addition, this paper also examines the possible mediating effects of stress, arousal, and psychological well-being on two hypothesised relationships. First, these mediating factors are examined for the link between individuals' personal space preferences and their perceived level of crowding. Second, these factors are examined for the link between perceived crowding and interpretations of an aggressive event. Such associations may help to explain why crowding and aggression are linked within a social interactionist perspective. The results confirmed previous findings that crowding is linked to increases in arousal and stress, and a reduction in psychological well-being. This study also found, however, that those inmates who experienced crowding were also more likely to interpret behaviour as aggressive and violent. This relationship was not mediated by arousal, stress, or psychological well-being. However, these factors were found to partially operate in the relationship between personal space preferences and the experience of subjective crowding. The implications of this study for social interactionist explanations of the link between crowding and prison violence are offered.
