The Complexity of Deep Acting
This study examines the mental health impacts of emotional labor using an integrated analytical model that considers both job-level emotional labor requirements (negative and positive display rules) and psychological processes of emotion regulation (deep acting and surface acting). Using data from the 2021 Emotions Matter Survey ( n = 854) of mental health and library workers in Ontario, Canada, we explore the conditions under which emotional lab…
Best practices for measuring community resources across Canada
Social scientists, geographers, criminologists, and health scientists are often tasked with finding data to best capture the impact of “community context” on individual outcomes, including residential services, physical resources, and social institutions. One outlet for such data in Canada is Digital Map Technologies Inc. (DMTI) Spatial, which offers a national repository of over one million businesses and recreational points of interest. The dat…
The Canadian family-friendly community resources study for better balance, health and well-being
The Canadian Family-Friendly Community Resources for Better Balance, Health, and Well-Being study (FFCR) is the first study in North America to comprehensively examine the impact of regional community context on work-family conflict, health, and wellbeing. The study was designed to collate data from disparate sources on a variety of community characteristics across Canada over time, including education services, food stores, recreational faciliti…
The power of a simple index of neighbourhood change
While academic research on neighbourhood change has developed over the past 30 years, its measurement is often technical and complex, hampering knowledge translation of academic research to wider audiences. Based on our research on neighbourhood change in Atlantic Canadian cities, we have developed two “simple” indexes of neighbourhood change. We document the steps to creating the simple indexes and discuss what decisions are made along the way. …
The Consequences of Living in Childcare Deserts
Our study addresses whether working parents with young children living in childcare deserts experience greater work-family conflict and psychological distress compared to those in more resourced areas. We use 2011 individual-level data from Toronto matched to census and administrative childcare data. Results suggest that mothers experience greater conflict than fathers when in high-resourced areas. Fathers who work long hours and reside in a dese…
Can Rust Belt or Three Cities Explain the Sociospatial Changes in Atlantic Canadian Cities
Research on American secondary cities has largely focused on so–called “rust belt” cities and has found that they tend to have economic stagnation, racialization, and urban decay in their urban cores occurring after economic crises. Most urban research on Canadian cities has, by contrast, focused on the country's largest cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and has found that urban cores are getting richer, less diverse, and undergoing infra…
An Occupational Portrait of Emotional Labor Requirements and Their Health Consequences for Workers
Scholarship has revealed inconsistent evidence on the issue of whether emotional labor represents an occupational health risk. Drawing from emotion regulation theory, the conservation of resources model and the interactive service work literature, we examine the association between occupational emotional labor requirements and worker well-being. Analyses of a national sample of American workers merged with occupational information from the O*NET …
