How gambling harms others: The influence of relationship-type and closeness on harm, health, and wellbeing
The effect of gambling problems on the subjective wellbeing of gamblers’ family and friends: Evidence from large-scale population research in Australia and Canada
The Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling: A revised framework for understanding gambling harm
Enforced leisure: Time use and its well-being implications
The article examines well-being and social implications of "enforced leisure" resulting from unemployment and underemployment. The first part of the article reviews statistical and research evidence about social and well-being implications of unemployment and underemployment in the context of "technological unemployment" and globalization. The second part examines well-being implications of enforced leisure (due to being unemployed or working par…
Emploi du temps, résultats scolaires et bien-être chez les adolescents. Quel rôle pour les parents
Cadre de recherche : L’écart générationnel grandissant entre les parents et adolescents a retenu l’attention des chercheurs depuis les années 1920. L’augmentation de cet écart a souvent été attribuée au rôle croissant des médias et des pairs dans la vie des adolescents. Objectifs : Les changements dans le rôle joué par les parents, les médias et les pairs dans la vie des adolescents sont examinés à la lumière de leur gestion du temps. Les données…
Understanding the association between time spent caregiving and well-being among employed adults: Testing a Model of Work-Life Fit and Sense of Community
This study examines factors associated with work–life fit and sense of geographic community as mediators of the negative association between caregiving demands and well-being among employed informal caregivers. Data were drawn from a larger project assessing well-being among residents of three mid-size cities in Ontario, Canada. A subsample was selected of informal caregivers who worked for pay for at least eight hours/week (n = 276). Caregiving …
Modelling activity novelty and adolescent females’ subjective well-being during a winter holiday
Leisure research on adolescent females’ holiday experiences, and how these experiences may contribute to their happiness is scarce. Recent work in the area of positive psychology has suggested that novelty within an experience may enhance positive emotions and life satisfaction which together comprise subjective well-being (SWB), a common conceptualization of happiness. The purpose of this paper was to test the direct influence of activity novelt…
Use of Leisure Facilities and Wellbeing of Adult Caregivers
The current research examines leisure facility use as a moderator of the negative association of caregiving demands with wellbeing among informal caregivers. In accordance with the leisure constraints model, the study also explores the role of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural factors that may constrain or facilitate caregivers' use of leisure infrastructure. Data were collected as part of a survey conducted by the Canadian Index of We…
Highway to health? Commute time and well-being among Canadian adults
This paper examines commute time, time spent in activities benefical to well-being, and the relationship to self-assessed well-being. Using cross-sectional data from the 2010 Canadian General Social Survey, Cycle 24, time use patterns and feelings of well-being are assessed for a subsample of 3409 men and women who regularly commute to work by car. Drawing upon a resource drain model, daily activities known to affect well-being were selected for …
Self-employment and family life: Constructing Work-Life Balance When You're 'Always On
This study explores how men and women who are self-employed and have children living at home construct work–life balance. Guided by the concept of work–life fit, in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 parents who were self-employed and had at least one dependent child. Using thematic analysis, the first theme, 'in control,' related primarily to schedule flexibility but also extended to income opportunities and, sometimes, to job security. Fee…
Remixing work, family and leisure: Teleworkers' experiences of everyday life
This paper explores whether and in what ways telework is associated with a reconfiguration or remixing of daily work, family and leisure activities. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 51 teleworkers employed in a financial organisation in C anada. For some, telework was a condition of employment, while others negotiated part‐time telework arrangements with managers. Using interpretive thematic analysis techniques, intersections and in…
Association of dual-earner parents' perceptions of time-stress with leisure participation: An analysis of gender and social context
With a population-based sample of dual-earner parents (951 women and 1059 men), we examined the association of paid work hours and perceived time-stress with two forms of leisure participation and the ways gender may shape the social context of that participation. We expected that although work hours and time-stress would be associated with a lower likelihood of leisure participation, the typically gendered nature of childcare would mean women wo…
I'm Home for the Kids’: Contradictory Implications for Work–Life Balance of Teleworking Mothers
This study explores the experience of time flexibility and its relationship to work–life balance among married female teleworkers with school‐aged children. Drawing from a larger study of teleworkers from a Canadian financial corporation, 18 mothers employed in professional positions discussed work, leisure and their perceptions of work–life balance in in‐depth interviews. Telework was viewed positively because flexible scheduling facilitated opt…
Changing Perspectives on the Work–Leisure Relationship
In this paper, selected theories and research on the work–leisure relationship are reviewed and approaches that might be developed further in relation to changing workplace cultures and socio‐economic trends are discussed, with a particular focus on Canada. Key concerns in studying and theorising about work and leisure are highlighted and potential areas for development are discussed. Beginning with foundational work–leisure theories based on a m…
Time Use, Time Pressure and Gendered Behavior in Early and Late Adolescence
Adolescent Time Use, Eating Habits, and Obesity
Rising obesity rates among Canadian adolescents have created concerns about population health and implications for the health care system. As part of the Ontario Adolescent Time Use Study (OATUS) 2001/03, 2,113 students aged 12 to 19 reported on time use, physical health, well-being, social relationships, and academic performance. Students were classified by Body Mass Index into weight categories of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obes…
