Overview

Randomized trial investigates role transition patterns affecting well-being in two countries, indicating cultural differences.

Key Points

  • Investigate how daily work-nonwork role transitions affect well-being and identify common patterns across two countries.
  • Analyzed UK Time Use Survey data (N=1036) and US Time Use Survey data (N=1186) for role transition patterns.
  • Used sequence analysis to categorize daily role engagements based on order, duration, timing, and frequency.
  • Identified three sequences: Conventional Workers, Blenders, and Evening Workers.
  • Blenders reported lower general mental health than Conventional Workers (p<0.05).
  • Evening Workers experienced lower levels of meaningfulness and greater sadness compared to Conventional Workers (p<0.05).
  • Findings revealed consistent and context-specific variations in daily role sequences across the UK and US.
