Older adults and companion animal death
Background: The number of older adults living with companion animals (pets) is increasing worldwide. While evidence revealing positive relationships between companion animals and healthy aging is well established, there is a dearth of research regarding companion animal death and subsequent human grieving. Some emerging research suggests that grief over companion animal death is often discounted or even unrecognized (disenfranchised) by others. T…
Does fido have a foot in the door? Social housing companion animal policies and policy decision-making in a Canadian city
Living with a companion animal (CA or “pet”) often has a positive impact on quality of life and well-being. Research also highlights potential benefits of CA relationships for populations accessing social housing, which commonly includes individuals with a low income, disabilities, those at risk of homelessness, and seniors. However, it appears that CA policies in social housing organizations can present a barrier to accessing housing that allows…
Supportive relations in a feminized occupation
Several traditionally male-dominated professions, including law and medicine, have experienced an influx of women over the last 30 years. We extend research on gender equality in the professions, which has often examined segmentation and stratification, by examining the integration of men and women into a traditionally male-dominated profession in terms of the emotional and instrumental support they receive from colleagues. We examine veterinary …
A Scoping Review of the Health and Social Benefits of Dog Ownership for People Who Have Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a significant cause of morbidity and disability globally. One potential strategy for the self-management of chronic pain is interacting with companion animals; more specifically, dogs. While studies of dog ownership suggest social, psychological, and health benefits to humans, the impact on chronic pain is unclear. The aim of this scoping review was to map the literature on dog ownership and wellbeing in people with chronic pain. …
Work satisfaction in a rapidly feminized profession
Women typically hold jobs in which they experience less pay and less favorable working conditions than men in comparable positions. Despite these differences, women report similar or even higher levels of work satisfaction. Most studies explaining work satisfaction and gender focus on workplace rewards as potential explanatory variables. Little is known about the relevance of support resources from the family domain in relation to women’s and men…
Evaluating the Relationship between Well-Being and Living with a Dog for People with Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic low back pain is a significant societal and personal burden that negatively impacts quality of life. Dog ownership has been associated with health benefits. This study evaluated the feasibility of surveying people with chronic low back pain to assess the relationship between dog ownership and well-being. A mail-out survey was sent to 210 adult patients with chronic low back pain. Measures of quality of life, pain, physical activity, emoti…
Unfair to Me or Unfair to My Spouse
Research examining the relationship between household labor and health has not sufficiently considered perceptions of domestic equity, physical health, or potential gender differences in these relationships. Using survey data from 1,234 lawyers, we examine how perceptions of domestic equity are related to mental and physical health and whether these relationships differ by gender. The results indicate that perceiving the division of household lab…
Gender Differences in Perceived Domestic Task Equity
Despite inequalities in domestic work, a majority of couples perceive this arrangement as fair. Our study addresses this paradox by examining whether and why married lawyers perceive domestic work arrangements as unfair to themselves or their spouse. Our results reveal that predictors of perceived equity to self and spouse differ substantially and that the antecedents of perceptions of unfairness vary by gender. That is, women working longer hour…

Gender and Supportive Co‐Worker Relations in the Medical Profession
Women's growing numerical representation in the professions has not necessarily translated into women being truly integrated in these occupations. Questionnaire data are used to examine whether female physicians are socially integrated in the male‐dominated profession of medicine in terms of the support they receive from their medical colleagues compared to male physicians. The literature on tokenism and homophily suggests that women in male‐domi…

Mental health and stigma in the medical profession
Until recently, much of the recent upsurge in interest in physician health has been motivated by concerns about improving patient care and patient safety and reducing medical errors. Increasingly, more attention has turned to examining how the management of mental illness among physicians might be improved within the medical profession and one key direction for change is the reduction of stigma associated with mental illness. I begin this article…
Work Hard, Play Hard
There has been a considerable amount of research that documents how women and men spend their time in different work and home tasks. We examine how much time professional women and men spend in paid and unpaid work and how this relates to their participation in different leisure activities. We also explore whether time in paid and unpaid work has gender-specific effects on leisure participation. In examining these issues, we rely on data from law…

Leisure as a coping resource
This article explores whether leisure is an effective coping resource in response to the demands of one's job and in reducing depression. Karasek's job demand-control-support (JDCS) model of psychological strain serves as a framework for empirically examining the importance of leisure in reducing depression and buffering the detrimental effects of excessive job demands. This article relies on data from a sample of 887 law firm lawyers who are ren…
Are Small Firms More Beautiful or Is Bigger Better? A Study of Compensating Differentials and Law Firm Internal Labor Markets
Research on the size–job rewards relationship emphasizes extrinsic rewards that are typically more prevalent in large, complex organizations. We examine whether certain intrinsic rewards are more characteristic of small firms and shift the focus from manufacturing industries to professional service (law) firms. We find that small is not entirely beautiful. Smaller firms offer more autonomy but no more challenging work or better coworker relations…
Mentors as Social Capital
Previous studies have demonstrated that mentoring provides numerous career benefits to individuals and organizations. This article advances past work by examining the effects of individuals' primary and multiple developmental relationships in a longitudinal study of the careers of lawyers. We develop a social capital perspective on mentorship emphasizing reciprocity of exchange, resource mobilization, and normative expectations embedded within me…
The professionalism of practising law
Traditionally, the literature assumed that solo practitice best exemplifies the ideal professional work arrangement and that when professionals become salaried employees their professionalism is seriously threatened. The primary goal of this paper is to examine lawyers' sense of professionalism across two work contexts: solo practitioner offices and law firm settings. We also examine status distinctions within law firms, between associates and pa…

Employee Commitment
There has been a recent upsurge of interest among sociologists in the organizational commitment of employees, with loyalty and intent to stay identified as distinct forms that this commitment can take. This article argues that progress in understanding organizational commitment will not be made until conceptual and empirical distinctions among various forms of employee commitment are recognized and demonstrated. With this as the objective, it was…

Justice and the Paradox of the Contented Female Worker
Studies have shown that women are as satisfied with their jobs as are their male counterparts. This finding is viewed as suggesting a paradox because women's rewards and work conditions are usually less favorable than men's. Phelan (1994) evaluated five explanations for the paradox but could not evaluate the possibility that perceived justice accounts for the paradox. We evaluate the same explanations, but also examine the importance of perceived…

Becker's Side-Bet Theory of Commitment Revisited
The results of Cohen and Lowenberg's 1990 meta-analysis of 50 studies that empirically test Becker's (1960) side-bet model provide little empirical support for his theory of commitment. They conclude that severe limitations of past research, both in terms of measuring commitment and the strategies used to test the side-bet model, may be responsible for the lack of empirical support. Alternatively, they submit that if these methodological problems…
Corporatist Control and Organizational Commitment among Professionals
A prevailing concern in the sociology of professions is the degree to which professional workers are committed to their employing organization. Corporatist organizations strive to maximize employees' commitment to the organization by enhancing employee integration, upward mobility, participation in decision making, and the legitimacy of the authority system. It is argued here that these corporatist properties act as incentives that are highly val…

The Measurement of Burnout Revisited
Throughout the literature, burnout has been conceptualized as encompassing three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Interview and questionnaire data from 95 human service workers examine a conceptual model linking burnout to selected work characteristics and professionalism. Derived from theory and based on factor analysis, multiple-item subscales are established for work characteristics (autonomy, ro…
Emotional Disturbance and Cognitive Deficits in Hyperthyroidism
Assessment of cognitive and emotional variables in 19 females with hyperthyroidism was made pretreatment, at 3 weeks, and after euthyroidism was established. A matched group of normal controls was similarly tested. Group differences on cognitive measures did not reach statistical significance, but cognitive deficits and symptoms of emotional disorder were significantly associated with the severity of thyroid toxicity previous to treatment. Measur…
Anticonformity aspects of depression in mild depressive states
Controversial issues regarding the relation of conformity and anticonformity variants of dependency to depression and self‐esteem were examined. The Willis‐Hollander model of social influence and an experimental paradigm which permits differentiation of dependency responses into conformity and anticonformity subcategories were used. Ninety female college students who had been given the Beck Depression Inventory and a measure of self‐esteem engage…

Work-to-nonwork conflict among married male and female lawyers
The primary objective of this study was to examine work-related factors that were hypothesized to contribute to time- and strain-based work-to-nonwork conflict among married male and female lawyers. The findings show that work overload was the only common determinant for both forms of work-to-nonwork conflict for both male and female lawyers. Work context was important in understanding female lawyers' feelings of time- and strain-based conflict, …
