Firefighters and Spouses
The present project contributes to the literature on firefighters and spousal relationships through consideration of life satisfaction, marital satisfaction, and couple conflict for a sample of Canadian firefighters. Thirty four firefighter/spouse dyads completed measures of satisfaction, mental health, and conflict. Our results showed that firefighters self-reported more hostility than their spouses, but that there was no significant difference …
Cognitive Dissonance in Social Work
Cognitive dissonance is a state of tension occurring when a person holds two psychologically inconsistent cognitions. For this study, 21 social workers who facilitate transracial adoption plans for Aboriginal children in British Columbia were interviewed: 1) Do social workers who facilitate transracial adoption plans for Aboriginal children experience cognitive dissonance? If so, in what ways? 2) How does cognitive dissonance impact them? 3) In w…
Parenting a child with Autism Spectrum disorder
This research contributes to the literature on work-related factors for parents raising a child with a disability. Specifically, we used questionnaire methodology to compare two parent families raising a child with Autism Spectrum (AS) with similar families raising 'typical' children. Our findings suggested that parents raising a child with AS self-report higher parenting stress and more mental health symptomatology, as well as lower overall job …
Mental health implications of volunteer fire service membership
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to add to the overall body of literature regarding mental health implications related to fire service membership; in particular, to look specifically at the implications of volunteer membership and to compare results with previous research looking at paid‐professional members. Design/methodology/approach Responses to the Impact of Event Scale‐Revised (IES‐R), the Neuroticism‐Extroversion‐Openness Personality I…
Factor analytic structure of the Impact of Events Scale – Revised when used with a firefighting sample
Purpose The Impact of Events Scale (IES)/Impact of Events Scale – Revised (IES‐R) is arguably one of the most well known tools used to assess post‐traumatic symptomatology. The background literature reveals a significant gap with respect to the structural properties of the IES/IES‐R when used with emergency service populations. In response to these identified gaps, this paper aims to provide an evaluation of the structural properties of the three…
Occupational Stress, Mental Health and Satisfaction in the Canadian Multicultural Workplace
Private Health Care Option
Timely access to health care has become a leading concern for many Canadians. At the center of the debate lies the more volatile issue of whether some diagnostic procedures and surgeries should be completed at private health care facilities rather than through the public system. This article provides review and discussion regarding the risks and benefits involved in the use of private health care options, in particular with respect to musculoskel…
Surveying Older Adults' Opinions on Housing
Adolescent-Parent Verbal Conflict
A total of 94 adolescents (M age = 14.2 years) participated in 20-minute hypothetical conflict discussions with either their mothers or fathers (24 daughter-mother, 22 son-mother, 25 daughter-father, 23 son-father dyads). Audiotaped conversations were coded for speakers' conversational style (overlaps between turns, simultaneous speech, and successful interruptions) and hostile emotional expressions (i.e., disgust/contempt). Adolescents used a co…
