    Affective Pathways of Work-Family Enrichment Among Dual-earner Couples
    (2009) Dunn, Marianne Grace; O'Brien, Karen M; Psychology; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    The current study examined the extent to which resources generated at work influence family functioning among dual-earner couples while accounting for interdependence of observations among couples. Path analytic findings based in the Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM; Cook & Kenny, 2005) and Work-Family Enrichment Theory (Greenhaus & Powell, 2006) supported the presence of a mediated model. The relationship between resources generated at work to positive family performance was mediated by positive affect at work. A number of intrapersonal effects, including one mediated effect emerged between work, positive affect at work, and family variables. One interpersonal effect was detected: female family-supportive organization perceptions predicted male dyadic adjustment. The results and implications for theory, policy, practice, and research are discussed.

    Psychological Health and Meaning in Life: Stress, Social Support, and Religious Coping in Latina and Latino Immigrants
    (2007-04-13) Dunn, Marianne Grace; O'Brien, Karen; Psychology; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    This study examined and the relative contributions of (a) gender, (b) perceived stress, (c) social support from family and significant other, and (d) positive and negative dimensions of religious coping to the prediction of the psychological health and meaning in life among Central American immigrants. Findings revealed that greater perceived stress by Latinas/ Latinos was predictive of psychological health and meaning in life. Social support from significant other also was predictive of presence of meaning in one's life. Negative religious coping, specifically reappraisal of God's powers was predictive of search for meaning in one's life.
