This study integrated work-family research with the stress resource perspective and organizational leadership theory. Based on the premise that stress is a major contributor to work-family conflict, this research examined resources likely to reduce the stress and work-family conflict women experience. Family emotional support, leader-member exchange, and hardiness were explored as potential resources. The 206 participants were recruited in daycare centers, a business community, and a university setting. The sample was diverse in terms of ethnicity and occupation. However, the majority of the women were married (68%) with children (82%). Path analytic tests supported most of the relationships in the hypothesized model. Findings suggest that having a high-quality relationship with one's supervisor may have complex implications for work-family conflict.

Family Emotional Support

Social relationships may enhance emotional health in older age. The authors examined associations between social relationships and emotional health using data from the Milwaukee African American sample of the second Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS II) study, 2005-2006 ( n = 592). Self-reports indicated good, very good, or excellent emotional health, distinguished from fair or poor. Social relationships were measured by relationship type (family or friend), contact frequency, and levels of emotional support and strain. Control variables included demographic characteristics, types of lifetime and daily discrimination, neighborhood quality, and other social factors. In adjusted results, each increase on a family emotional support scale was associated with 118% greater odds of reporting better emotional health (odds ratio [OR] = 2.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.43, 3.32]). Friend emotional support also was associated with better emotional health (OR = 1.59, CI [1.07, 2.34]). Daily discrimination substantially reduced reported emotional health; family and friend support buffered this effect.

Family Emotional Support

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease, most of which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The psychological effect that is often experienced by TB patients is anxiety. There factors that cause anxiety, predisposition and precipitation. One of the factors that influence someone in dealing with anxiety is family support. Especially in emotional support, which can promote feelings of comfort and emotional control in TB patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family emotional support and anxiety levels in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients. This research was conducted in the Wonogiri District area. The research design used cross-sectional. The total sampling was (n = 59) in TB patients who are undergoing treatment. The research tool uses a questionnaire. Data analysis used Chi Square Test. Date were retrieved by questionnaire then analyzed using chi square with degree of meaning ?<0.05. Result and analyze, obtained p value 0.034 (p-value 0.034 <? (0.05), it means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.  The results a relationship between family emotional support and the anxiety level of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in Wonogiri District. And TB patients with less family emotional support are at risk of having a high level of anxiety 9.5, compared to good family support (OR: 1.909- 2,346). Suggestions for further researcher to research recommends empowering family in providing emotional support to help TB patient in emotional mastery, so as not to experience an increase in anxiety levels

Individuation Process

Problematic separation-individuation has been conceptualized almost unilaterally as separation anxiety or as intolerance of being alone (i.e., dysfunctional dependence). However, as separation-individuation involves a dynamic interaction between independence and relatedness, it was argued in this study that disturbances in the separation-individuation process could manifest in at least two ways; that is, as dysfunctional dependence and as dysfunctional independence. In a sample of 232 emerging adults, we examined correlates and outcomes of the two types of dysfunctional separation-individuation. We found that both types were related in similar ways to depressive symptoms and a general measure of pathological separation-individuation. Yet they were associated differentially and in theoretically expected ways with: (a) dimensions of attachment (i.e., anxiety and avoidance); and (b) dimensions of personality that confer vulnerability to depression (i.e., dependency and self-criticism). In addition, person-centered results showed evidence for four groups of individuals with distinct profiles of separation-individuation (i.e., healthy, dysfunctional dependent, dysfunctional independent, and combined). Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

Degree Of Certainty

The present study employed a narrative identity analysis to the examination of identity development in relation to major choice for college-going emerging adults. We focused on underrepresented minorities (URMs) who expressed an interest in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) majors. In a qualitative, longitudinal, case-based study of URMs at two different campuses ( n = 26), we followed their development through college over 4 years, engaging in a comprehensive analysis of their experiences, including individual differences in pathways of identity formation. Results revealed five trajectories of development that focused on the degree of certainty in major and career choice, and general psychological functioning and identity integration. Implications include the need to examine a diversity of experiences to understand the “whole person,” which includes attending to motivations and psychological well-being, along with experiences in the classroom.

OECD identified 11 topics in Your Better Life Index (YBLI). YBLI is generally accepted as an essential indicator of material living conditions and quality of life. This study compared YBLI in two predominantly Chinese regions, i.e., Macau (a former Portuguese territory in China) and Zhuhai in the Greater Bay Area in the southern part of the People’s Republic of China. Data were collected from 446 (231 Macau and 215 Zhuhai) ethnic Chinese residents in the two regions. Results revealed the Macau residents to be much more satisfied with life (significantly higher ratings on more YBLI topics) than their Zhuhai counterparts. Regression analyses revealed Chinese Values and Family Emotional Support to be strong predictors of YBLI in Zhuhai, while Future Prospects and Self-Efficacy explained most variance for YBLI in Macau. The results of the comparisons are discussed in terms of seminaries and differences in the cultures and economic development of the regions.

Combined Data

A new measure of adherence to traditional values was created with the objective of facilitating research within and across cultures and nations. The measure was tested in China (N = 321) and Russia (N = 314) and factor analysis of the data revealed two subscales named Personal Traditional Values (10 items) and Public Traditional Values (6 items). Empirical psychometric testing of the overall 16-item measure and the two subscales strongly supported the validity and reliability of all three measures. Means comparisons conducted to assess how well the measures could be used for cross-cultural comparisons revealed the Russians somewhat more than the Chinese living by traditional values overall, both nations about equal on living according to traditional values in their personal lives, and the Russians significantly more inclined to abide by traditional values in public. Also tested were several social and psychological variables as theoretical predictors of living by traditional values, and Life Satisfaction was tested as a possible correlate of living according to traditional values. Regression analyses on the combined data confirmed that Family Emotional Support, Conscientiousness, Collectivism, and Age were all significant positive predictors of living by traditional values. Additional regressions also found some unique predictors for each nation. These findings and the results of the parametric tests support the use of the new scales for measuring traditional values both within and across cultures.
