▼ This study focuses on how children’s characteristics
(number and age) and parental characteristics (e.g. employment
status, education) and day of the week are linked to parents’ daily
time allocations to primary child care, domestic labour, personal
care, sleeping and leisure. Also, I compare gender and marital
status differences in the determinants of parents’ daily
time
allocations to activities studied. I find that children’s
characteristics are most important to parents’ primary child care
time and to married mothers’ and single mothers’ domestic labour
time. Day of the week and parental characteristics such as
employment status are also associated with parents’
time
allocations to the activities studied. As well, I find that
Canadian married mothers spend much less
time on sleeping than
married fathers.

▼ The present study investigates how patterns of family time change as a function ofcomputer ownership according to HobfollÕs (1988) conservation of resources theory withspecific attention to sex differences in the types and nature of
displaced family time. Groundedin Kraut and his colleaguesÕ (1998) findings that higher levels of loneliness, depression, andsocial isolation are linked to higher levels of computer and Internet use, the present studyexplores how family resource
expenditure and investment related to computer use alter thepatterns of interactions between persons living in the same household. The present study usestime diary data from the AmericansÕ Use of Time study (AUT; Robinson, 1985), gathered priorto
prevalent computer and Internet use, and from the Family Interaction, Social Capital, andTrends in Time Use study (FISCT; Robinson, Bianchi, & Presser, 1998-1999), gathered duringthe explosion of computer adoption, to compare how American adults
spend their time (i.e.energy resources). MANOVAs determine main and interaction effects of the categoricalvariables (dataset, nature, with whom, sex, and computer ownership) between the AUT and theFISCT samples and between computer owners and non-owners
within the FISCT sample on thetotal number of minutes spent per day in various activities None of the results of the analyses forthe hypothesized relationships were significant. Chapter 5 concludes the present study with adiscussion of the results,
possible explanations for the discrepancies between hypothesizedresults and actual results, limitations of the study and directions for future research.

▼ The Italian labour market seems unable to allocate a significant fraction of the working age population efficiently. The gap between the employment rate in Italy and in the other developed economies is foremost attributable to the low employment rates of youth, seniors and women. The low employment rates of these three groups are due to several factors limiting both labour demand and labour supply. For women in particular, constraints on the allocation of time play a crucial role in determining labour supply behaviour. In this thesis we try to understand how non-standard time constraints may affect the behaviour of women, and their labour supply in particular.
In the first chapter we study how the constraints on work-schedules affect the time allocation of workers in Italy. For a large fraction of employed individuals the work schedule is very rigid, as a consequence of outdated industrial relations. In order to understand whether constraints on the work-schedule produce significant effects on the allocation of time of wage/salary workers in Italy, we exploit the intrinsic differences between them and self employed workers. In fact, one of the main features of self-employment is the greater control over the days worked and daily hours of work. We use the last wave of the Italian time use survey (2008-2009) to provide evidence that the distribution of hours of work of self-employed workers is much more dispersed than that of wage/salary workers and that average standard deviation of their daily minutes of work within a week is significantly larger. Then we show that self-employed workers respond more to shocks affecting the value of leisure. We show that on sunny days the increase of leisure and the reduction of work are significantly larger for self-employed workers. We address whether unobservable characteristics, such as preferences for leisure and for outdoor activities in particular, determine this differential response and find no evidence for this. We interpret the differential response to weather shocks as a consequence of the time constraints on work-schedules. This evidence is relevant for female labour force participation since in Italy a large fraction of women choose not to work because they would otherwise not be able to reconcile family and work responsibilities.
In the second chapter we study the Added Worker Effect (AWE). The retrospective questions provided by the new labour force survey allow identification of transitions between labour market states in a 12 month time-window. Since we are able to identify the reason for the husband’s job loss, we distinguish between transitions associated with low or high income losses. We find that both the wife’s probability of joining the labour force and that of finding a job increase when the husband is dismissed or he is forced to quit his job for health reasons, two cases of usually high income losses. Moreover, we estimate the wife’s full transition matrix between labour market states and we find that the loss of a job by a husband increases the…

▼ The main objective of this thesis is to determine the effect of
time management on high organizational performance using LASACO ASSURANCE Plc. as a case company.
In this thesis, the employees working with the company were sent questionnaires. Their responses were critically analyzed and thus related to the theories.
A quantitative approach was used as the methodology. According to the theory,
time management is a method for managers to increase work performance effectiveness.
Time management is probably not as easy as what it is imagined and expected to be; the term
time management means different things to different people.
The study brought out the differences between effective
time management and
time management. It was discovered that the organization has already implemented
time management, but it was not effective enough. The test of a hypothesis was conducted using simple regression with the aid of the SPSS software, thus establishing the fact that effective
time management is an important tool for high organizational performance.
In conclusion, effective
time management is a great tool for obtaining high performance; thus helping organizations to control their financial future and improve productivity.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2012.
The strategy that we adopt to investigate these e ects is as follows. First, to provide us with a loose structure, we construct a simple model of health and time allocation based on Gronau (1980). Second, we analyze data from the American Time Use Survey. Due to a dearth of convincing exogenous sources of variation in health status, the approach that we adopt here is very descriptive.We conduct simple exercises in which we look at how time allocations vary with age and health by gender and marital status while controlling for common confounding variables. We then use these estimated partial correlations in conjunction with comparative statics from our model to make inferences on the relative e ects of health on market and non-market e ciency. We take a descriptive approach due to endogeneity issues and a lack of convincing instrumental variables, as well as other limitations. Major data limitations are the unavailability of spousal time use diaries as well as spousal health status measures. This prevents us from using actual spouses in our analysis. There are many reverse causality possibilities between health and time uses, including health and sleep, health and exercise, and health and leisure/work. Rather than attempting to overcome these severe limitations (and any attempts would be tenuous), we contend with the fact that correlations, taken together with a model, are still useful in drawing some important conclusions. Our ndings indicate that better health is correlated with more time allocated to \productive"2 activities and less time to various types of leisure. These correlations are larger for market than for non-market production. If market-and home-produced goods are highly substitutable (which is not an unreasonable assumption), then the larger positive correlation between health and home production implies that health exerts a greater e ect on non-market e ciency than on market e ciency. Interest-ingly, we show that most of the relationship between health and home production for single people occurs at the intensive margin, whereas the reverse is true for couples. This suggests that, for married people time allocated to home production is some-what inelastic with respect to their own health, unless they are su ciently unhealthy in which case they do not work at all. Finally, and in the spirit of this previous result, we show that the correlations between health and home production are larger for singles than for couples, which may reect less market substitutes for the time of married people.

▼ As jobs become more complex and autonomous, issues surrounding
time use are
becoming more important. At present, we know relatively little about how
time-related
individual differences influence how people choose to structure their
time, and
furthermore, how these choices impact task performance. Based on an interactionist
approach, a model was proposed incorporating both person and situational variables
associated with
time use. Several
time-related individual difference variables (i.e.,
time
perspective, polychronicity, and
time urgency) were expected to predict
time use
behaviors. Individual differences were hypothesized to relate differentially to
time use
dimensions (i.e.,
time management, pacing, and multitasking), and
time use behaviors
were hypothesized to relate to performance outcomes. Situational moderators (i.e.,
autonomy and
time scarcity) were also examined. Ninety-four undergraduate students
enrolled in a psychology research methods course tracked their progress on a final course project once per week for four weeks leading up to the deadline. Self- and instructorrated
project grades served as performance measures. Findings provide some support
linking
time-related individual differences to
time use dimensions. Specifically, future
time perspective was positively related to
time management. Polychronicity and
time
scarcity were positively correlated with multitasking. Situational variables (autonomy and
time scarcity) moderated some of the
time-related individual difference-
time use
relationships. Support was not found for the relationship between
time use dimensions
(i.e.,
time management, pacing, and multitasking) and performance. Implications for the
workplace and future research directions are discussed.

▼ Background: Public transport has health benefits for the environment and individuals. People walk to access public transport and there are proportionately fewer crashes and less pollution than with private cars. Yet transport planning rests on assumptions that privilege speed and private cars over other modes. This study, set at a crossroads between public health and transport studies, questioned adult passengers in two New Zealand cities about their public transport travel
time use and experiences. Theories about social contact informed the study.
Research questions and methods: The main research question was: How do passengers
use and value their public transport travel
time and what is its value for wellbeing? Sub-questions addressed variations between population groups and different transport modes (bus and train), and how passengers felt travel
time use affects their health and wellbeing.
A sequential mixed methods research design and abductive approach within the pragmatist paradigm were used. Three phases of data collection with adult passengers were: (1) structured observations of 812 passengers in Wellington; (2) telephone interviews with 48 passengers in Auckland and Wellington, and (3) a survey distributed to 2000 passengers in Auckland and Wellington (responses=1039).
Results: Structured observations showed frequent travel
time activities were looking ahead or out the window; reading; listening on headphones and talking. There were differences among activities according to transport mode, gender and age-group.
Interviews found positive health/ wellbeing impacts from the ‘down time’, or ‘
time out’ experienced during travel
time, and also from the activities passengers undertook while waiting and travelling.
The survey (response rate: 52%) found the most common waiting
time activities were: people-watching; watching for the public transport service to arrive (especially buses); thinking, and day-dreaming. Frequent in-vehicle activities for both modes were window-gazing and thinking; over half of the sample did these. Over a third also did people-watching, day-dreaming and relaxing, and over a quarter reported reading for leisure and making personal texts/phone calls. Differences by mode, gender and age are reported. While nearly 38% of survey respondents found waiting a waste of
time, only half that proportion found their in-vehicle travel
time a waste. Nearly half (47.8%) of the respondents thought their travel
time use had no effect either way on their health/ wellbeing; 46.7% thought it had a positive effect. Very few identified a negative impact.
Discussion: The mixed methods design worked well in answering the research questions. Bus and train passenger participants were actively doing something while travelling. Their activities and inactivities had meanings for them. Many considered that how they spent their travel
time affected their health and wellbeing. More felt that they made
use of their travel
time than considered it wasted. Results contributed to new theories of the…

▼ This study aimed to further develop a dementia-specific, occupational therapy conceptual model, the Lived Environment Life Quality (LELQ) Model, by asking: how do expert occupational therapists understand and promote positive
time use patterns of residents with dementia in long term care facilities? Although occupational therapists are well-situated to promote such patterns for residents with dementia,
time use has not been a focus of practice. Using an action research approach, six occupational therapists were chosen through selective sampling of extreme cases. Data were collected via twelve 90-minute interviews and six focus groups. Data analysis included coding, peer review, matrix and thematic analysis, and reflexive journaling. Overall, participants confirmed
time use as represented by the LELQ Model as valid. While
time use patterns were implicit in their practices, they viewed every moment as a possible moment of engagement and residents as if wearing a quilt with colorful squares symbolizing potential for meaningful daily
time use. Participants also recognized that workers in dementia care can sometimes view residents with dementia through a pessimistic lens akin to a gray and stifling quilt, one symbolizing lack of potential for positive
time use and leading to staff alienation and negative spiraling of residents' quality of life. Conclusions are that the LELQ Model is a valid conceptual practice model tool for promoting a focus on
time use patterns as a vital quality of life indicator. Further, focusing on occupational engagement across the day can be seen as the core of occupational therapy philosophy, a means to avoid occupational deprivation, and a moral obligation of occupational therapists.

▼ The "Great Recession" gripped the global economy beginning in December of 2007 and though the National Bureau of Economic Research (2010) determined that it concluded in June of 2009, for many people across the United States it has not yet receded as of July of 2012. In this study, I examine the impacts of both the overall employment insecurity accompanying the Great Recession and actual job loss on daily time use. Specifically, I examine the effects of being unemployed, living in states with poor economic conditions, and being interviewed during the Great Recession on 1) time spent with family members, 2) time spent sleeping, and 3) time spent engaging in healthy behaviors in order to gain a greater understanding of the effects of employment uncertainty on the lives of US Population. Drawing on the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), I use multivariate statistical models to examine differences in time spent sleeping, in healthy behaviors, and with family members for a subsample of respondents in the United States between the ages of 23 and 55.
I find that employment uncertainty is related to poor sleep outcomes while also being related to greater time spent in healthy behaviors and time with family members. Respondents who are unemployed sleep longer and are more likely to report sleeplessness than the employed; living in states with poor economic conditions (i.e. higher unemployment rates) is related to lower odds of having a sleepless episode but increases the odds of a sleep disruption; and those interviewed during the recession are more likely to sleep more than 9 hours, report sleeplessness, and less likely to report a sleep disruption, compared to respondents who were interviewed before the recession began. Being unemployed is related to exercise, active travel, health-related self-care, and eating breakfast, whereas state economic conditions and historical time period are not as consistently related to healthy behaviors. Poor state economic conditions were related to increased likelihood of spending time in health-related self-care, while being interviewed during the years marked by the recession was related to spending more time in active travel and increased odds of eating breakfast. In regards to family time, being unemployed and living in a state with worse economic conditions (as captured by higher unemployment rates) are related to greater odds of spending time with family members as well as more time spent on average while the recession is related to more time spent with immediate family and less time with extended family members.
Though being unemployed, living in states with poor economic conditions, and being interviewed during the Great Recession do not moderate one another in each instance, I find that being unemployed is moderated by other indicators of employment insecurity. In the sleeplessness models becoming unemployed in the 2 to 5 months prior to participating in the ATUS and being interviewed during the recessionary years of 2008 and 2009 were related to lower probabilities of…

▼ The purpose of this study is to identify realistic opportunities and barriers regarding PEV charge management by analyzing real-world PEV data from customers in the Austin Energy service area and evaluating direct, quantifiable economic value benefits as it relates new revenue, cost avoidance, CO2 reductions, and MW potential for peak shaving. The main objective is to provide business analysis to support the strategic road-map for Austin Energy PEV home charging programs. Three main charge program implementations are considered: Uncontrolled Charging,
Time of
Use Rates, and One Way Utility Control.
The data used for the analysis includes 45 households with PEVs from Mueller area; 24 were under a
Time of
Use trial with pricing incentives to charge at night, and 21 receive normal Austin Energy rates. Data analysis shows that 66% of
Time of
Use trial group successfully shifted PEV load to Off Peak hours (10:00PM to 6:00AM).
The potential of One Way control, based on load availability for interruption, shows that it will not be possible to implement until there are 37,000 PEVs in the Austin Energy area. Uncontrolled Charging represents a risk by increasing load during the residential peak.
Time of
Use Rates program will incentivize load shifting, reduce wholesale energy costs for Austin Energy while allowing customers to reduce their overall electricity bill.

▼ The growing popularity of smartphone adoption and
use has prompted researchers to investigate the implications of their problematic
use. Despite the many benefits attributed to mobile phone and smartphone technology, many have theorized that the problematic
use of this technology may negatively impact users cognitively, emotionally, or behaviorally. This study examined the relationships between boredom proneness, smartphone
use, and perception of
time while controlling for other variables such as working memory and IQ in three experimental conditions: Waiting, Social Media, and Lecture. Participants (N = 207) were asked to document how much
time they perceived to have passed during the seven-and-a-half-minute experiment. Participants were asked to record how much
time they spent using their smartphone devices in the prior week. Results were surveyed using ANOVA, ANCOVA, and linear regression analyses. The ages of the students included in the analyses (n = 164) ranged from 18 to 24 years old (Mage = 19.27, SD = 1.2, 59.8% female). Emerging adults perceived
time as passing more slowly while watching the academic lecture, F(2,130) = 3.49, p < 0.05. There was also a marginally significant interaction effect indicating that high smartphone users perceived
time as passing more slowly while watching the academic lecture video compared to those in both the Waiting and Social Media conditions, F(2,130) = 2.76, p = 0.067. Finally, individuals with higher levels of boredom proneness perceived less amount of
time passing during the “Lecture” condition compared to those with lower levels of boredom proneness (b = -0.12, t(48) = -2.29, p < 0.05). Future research should examine other potential influences of
time perception in various settings.

▼ In this transcendental phenomenological study, the research question explored was: What is the essence of how counselling students related to technology over time? For participants, becoming increasingly familiar with technology involved receiving support, feeling uncomfortable, exploring possibilities, viewing technology as a tool, and examining the social dynamics involved with technology use. A new, developmental theory of using technology, the stages of technology use by Rempel and Jerry (2013), was described. Using the data from this study, Rempel and Jerry’s theory was refined and a conceptual model for understanding beneficial and problematic technology use was developed, based on attachment theory and Erikson’s (1950/1993) psychosocial developmental model.

▼ The thesis is a study of the time-use patterns of primary school teachers in Tasmania. The time allocation behaviour of primary teachers is described using diary data on teachers’ workloads. The diary data describe teachers’ daily and weekly time use inside and outside schools. The time allocated to the myriad of tasks undertaken by teachers is described using actual time allocated and the proportion of total available time allocated to each activity or each teaching day. Throughout the thesis, the actual time allocated by teachers is referred to as the time budget, and the proportional allocation of time is referred to as the time share. The use of time budgets is common in time-use research. The use of time shares in the analysis of teachers’ time-use that is developed in this thesis is novel, and complements the traditional use of time budgets. A conceptual framework of teachers’ time use that uses these time budgets and time shares and describes teacher time allocation behaviour, is developed in this thesis. The conceptual framework has embedded within it a set of activities that teachers perform in the school, after school, outside classrooms, within classrooms, as they allocate time to the complex myriad of activities that they perform. Also embedded in the conceptual framework is a set of structural equations that describe allocation of time to teaching and non-teaching activities, days of the week, and weekend work. These structural equations first, depict the realities of primary teachers’ work and the dynamism thereof, and are then estimated using a suite of regression techniques that included ordinary least squares (OLS), seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR), multivariate regressions (MVREG), instrumental variables regressions (IVREG) and error in variables (EIV) regressions. These techniques are estimated using the software (STATA 9.2). The use of this suite of econometric modelling in the analysis of teachers’ time allocation behaviour is novel.
The results obtained from these techniques provide evidence on the determinants of: (i) the number of activities undertaken by teachers, (ii) the time budgets and time shares of each type of activity undertaken by teacher, (iii) the time budgets and time shares of each day of the teaching week; and, (iv) the extent to which teachers are overloaded – that is work in excess of mandatory hours. The results reported in this thesis show that time budgets and time shares provide different, but complementary, types of information about the time allocation behaviour of teachers. The results also show that selected teacher characteristics and school characteristics are important determinants of the time use patterns of primary school teachers in Tasmania. Of particular significance is the high level of time allocation to activities undertaken in schools on Tuesdays. Equally significant, although alarming, is the extent to which primary school teachers in Tasmania are overloaded and work during unsociable hours that include evenings, weekends and, in particular,…

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays in the areas of labor economics and economic demography. The first essay builds on previous research, which has analyzed the economic impacts of divorce using various methods and outcomes, and from this research it is clear that divorce has economic consequences for women. One consequence of divorce that has not been explored is changes time allocation. Time allocation, specifically time spent in leisure, is directly related to the well-being of individuals, and it is expected to change with divorce when time-use gains from joint household production are no longer realized. The results show that divorced women spend more time in market work, and less time in housework than their married counterparts. Divorced women with children are found to have less leisure time than married women, and divorced women are found to spend the same amount of time in primary childcare yet significantly less time with children while doing other activities. The second essay is on the decision to enter the labor force for women with children. This decision is based on a variety of factors that includes characteristics of spouses. Husband's work schedules, work hours, and flexibility of work time will play an important role in this decision to enter the labor force, and additionally, in the decision to work part-time or a set number of hours. This paper uses detailed time-dairy and work schedules data to investigate the relationship between husband's work schedules and maternal employment. The results show married women with children are less likely to participate in the labor force when their husbands finish work after 6:00pm when compared to husbands that finish work before 6:00pm, even while controlling for simultaneous relationship between husband's work stopping time and wife's labor force participation. Finally, the third essay of this dissertation analyzes the effect of state-level changes in divorce law on the time allocation of married men and women. The results show that married men's time allocation is not impacted by the change in divorce law, yet women are found to be spending more time in leisure and less time in household production in states with unilateral divorce law.

▼ Despite a vibrant literature that explores the
everyday busyness of American families, we still have much to learn
about how families construe and carry out the practical work of
managing
time on a moment-by-moment basis. I analyze the
time-management techniques of white middle-class families using
qualitative data from over 900 hours of participant-observation in
the lives of busy families and 45 semi-structured interviews with
the members of those families. I argue that by focusing on the
coordination of schedules we can recognize daily busyness not as a
matter of greater or lesser amounts of
time, but rather, as a
matter of meaningfully performing the practical administration of
activities in plural ways. The theoretical concept of “
time-
use
cultures” is introduced here. A
time-
use culture of achievement
prescribes getting things done as an appropriate

▼ Integrity has been proposed as a new way of conceptualizing
time use by examining the ways a person's actual
time use reflects the individual's values and preferences. Evidence from previous studies shows numerous benefits from experiencing congruence between actual and ideal
time use. In this study, I examined authenticity and mindfulness as potential precursors to integrity, and perceived choices as a potential control variable. Correlations were confirmed between the three variables. Due to the incorrect completion of the daily diary by the majority of participants, I was unable to create a diary-based measure of integrity. However, a single-item measure of integrity was included, which was used for
time-related analyses. It was found that mindfulness, authenticity, and perceived choice had positive correlations with integrity, but that mindfulness accounted for these correlations when they were entered into a model together. These results suggest that mindfulness could be further researched as an intervention to improve people's levels of integrity. Key suggestions for improving the daily diary entries include using daily reminders, reformatting the entry template, and implementing a training day for participants before they complete the entries.

▼ Theory and research from diverse fields including human development, economics, and sociology point to the value of studying
time use across the lifespan. Understanding
time use may be especially important during the college years when students experience newfound autonomy from parents, explore novel activities, and begin establishing adult behavior patterns. Although substantial research has documented between-person differences in college students’
time use, little theoretically-based empirical work has followed students longitudinally to explore how their
time use changes developmentally across college. Furthermore, little research has explored the adjustment correlates of daily
time use in order to understand the circumstances under which college students engage in healthy or harmful behaviors. Recognizing these gaps in the literature, two empirical studies were conducted exploring the predictors and adjustment implications of
time spent on productive activities (academics, employment, and organized activities) among a sample of first through fourth-year college students (n = 736). Students were followed for 14 consecutive days within each of 7 consecutive semesters yielding up to 98 daily diary days per student. Given the nested nature of the data, each study used a multi-level modeling strategy (days nested within semesters nested within individuals).
The first chapter tested the
time trade-off hypothesis to examine within- and between-person predictors of
time spent on academics, employment and organized activities. This hypothesis predicts that spending
time in one productive domain reduces
time available for other productive domains. Results demonstrated that
time spent on productive activities changed as students progressed through college: Academic
time was highest at the beginning and near the end of college, whereas organized activities followed an opposite pattern with a peak in the middle semesters. Employment was not common, but increased across college.
Time spent on productive activities also differed depending on the day of the week and the season, with academic
time being higher on weekdays and in the fall semester and organized activity
time being higher on weekends. In addition,
time spent on productive activities varied by demographic characteristics of the student (e.g., gender, parental education, immigrant status, and race). In support of the
time trade-off hypothesis, results demonstrated that on days and semesters when students spent more
time on employment, they spent less
time on academics. However, organized activities and academics were not linked at the semester level, suggesting that a trade-off occured for some, but not all, productive activities.
The second empirical chapter focused on the adjustment implications of
time spent on academics, employment, and organized activities. Associations of the three productive activities with positive and negative mood, tiredness, and alcohol
use were explored at the daily, semester, and between-person levels. On days and semesters when…

Do you have the time? Changes in and implications of spouses' time together.

▼ Many Americans say they do not spend enough
time with their families. Social changes such as increased productivity expectations in the workplace and the movement of mothers into the paid labor force have added to the feeling that family
time is scarce.
Time is perceived to be an extremely rare commodity in the U.S., and families desire to spend more of it together.
Time allocation in families has enjoyed recent scholarly attention. Some studies have analyzed how gender, class, and labor force participation relate to family
time use. Other studies have focused on changes in parent-child
time. Despite parents’ worries to the contrary, parent-child
time has increased over the past 30 years. Very few studies have focused on
time use among spouses, however. This three-paper dissertation analyzes research questions related to this understudied area.
The first paper studied whether spousal
time has declined over the past 30 years. Although previous research has shown that spouses are doing activities less often together, this study used nationally representative
time-diary data to quantify and explain the decline in daily spousal
time. The declines were significant – between 50 and 90 minutes per day. Regression and population standardization revealed that increases in married couples’ joint hours in the paid labor force and the increased proportion of dual-earner couples explain most of the change.
The second paper investigated the mechanisms that link spousal
time and marital satisfaction to understand whether decreasing spousal
time matters for contemporary couples. Using nationally representative longitudinal data, this study found that spouses’ evaluations of the amount of
time they spend together completely mediates the relationship between actual
time together and marital satisfaction. That is, if spouses are satisfied with the amount
time they spend together their marital satisfaction tends to be high regardless of how much
time they actually spend together. Further, because the actual amount of
time that spouses spend together was a weaker predictor of positive evaluations of spousal
time than other aspects of
time, the declines in spousal
time are not likely problematic for spouses.
The final paper investigated the relationship between family
time and marital satisfaction. Qualitative studies have found that family
time has some very negative aspects. Consequently, if spouses have to give up spousal
time to create family
time, they may become dissatisfied with their marriage. Using nationally representative data, the analyses showed a positive relationship between family
time and marital satisfaction for wives. For husbands, the association between family
time and marriage depended on their relationships with their children. Consequently, although some negative aspects of family
time do exist for parents, family
time does not seem to interfere with parents’ marital quality. Rather, the analyses show that family
time, spousal
time, parents’ relationships with their children,…

▼ Aim: This thesis examines a question posed by founding occupational scientist Dr. Elizabeth Yerxa (1993) – “what is the relationship between human engagement in a daily round of activity (such as work, play, rest and sleep) and the quality of life people experience including their healthfulness” (p. 3). Specifically, I consider Yerxa’s question in relation to the quotidian activities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of late adolescents (aged 15 - 19 years) in Ireland. This research enquiry was informed by an occupational perspective of health and by population health, ecological, and positive youth development perspectives. Methods: This thesis is comprised of five studies. Two scoping literature reviews informed the direction of three empirical studies. In the latter, cross-sectional
time use and HRQoL data were collected from a representative sample of 731 school-going late adolescents (response rate 52%) across 28 schools across Cork city and county (response rate 76%). In addition to socio-demographic data,
time use data were collected using a standard
time diary instrument while a nationally and internationally validated instrument, the KIDSCREEN-52, was used to measure HRQoL. Variable-centred and person-centred analyses were used. Results: The scoping reviews identified the lack of research on well populations or an adolescent age range within occupational therapy and occupational science; limited research testing the popular assumption that
time use is related to overall well-being and quality of life; and the absence of studies that examined adolescent 24-hour
time use and quality of life. Established international trends were mirrored in the findings of the examination of weekday and weekend
time use. Aggregate-level, variable-centred analyses yielded some significant associations between HRQoL and individual activities, independent of school year, school location, family context, social class, nationality or diary day. The person-centred analysis of overall
time use identified three male profiles (productive, high leisure and all-rounder) and two female profiles (higher study/lower leisure and moderate study/higher leisure). There was tentative support for the association between higher HRQoL and more balanced
time use profiles. Conclusion: The findings of this thesis highlight the gendered nature of adolescent
time use and HRQoL. Participation in daily activities, singly and in combination, appears to be associated with HRQoL. However, the nature of this relationship is complex. Individually and collectively, adolescents need to be educated and supported to create health through their everyday patterns of doing.

▼ The human-induced open land (cropland, pasture) in
the predominantly forested boreal landscapes relies on arable land
use; it thus represents an active intervention to hold back forest
regrowth. The thesis investigates the practical management
decisions by landholders on discrete farms, which in Sweden often
comprise both forest and arable lands. The theoretical framework
utilizes the concepts timespace, landscape, orientation and
commitment to understand how the farmer relates to the land. The
study draws on farm cases in various parts of the country, and
links land-cover continuity on arable fields and forest clearance
with land-use decision-making as a temporally and spatially
situated activity. Also when retiring from active land management
(due to old age or farm-external income) farmers continue to
maintain arable fields, a finding that is interpreted as deriving
from the values perceived in the land and the importance of their
reinforcement for the landholder identity. Locational fragmentation
of managed arable land scattered in the landscape, the increasing
of farm sizes following profitability concerns, and a local
shortage of land together with other factors induce land clearance
on contemporary farms, preferably near the farm centre and
contiguous with already managed fields. This finding is
understandable when considering time as a resource in farming, and
suggests that contemporary boreal landscapes may contain areas that
are subjected to an opening-up land-cover dynamics, against the
prevailing trend of reforestation.

▼ On Landtong Rozenburg (ca 60 ha), a coastal dune area in the Netherlands, a herd of Highland cattle and two herds of feral Konik horses are used as a nature management tool. The
use of large herbivores in nature management is common-
use in maintaining or restoring the biodiversity of heathlands, grasslands, wetlands and coastal dunes. However the ecological process of grazing is a complex one and the outcome changes for each area. Since 2009 studies are performed on the behavior and habitat
use of the cattle and koniks on Landtong Rozenburg. This study is an expansion of the previous studies. The
time budget as well as different aspects of the foraging behavior of the cattle and koniks is analyzed. Behavioral data of the different herds were collected through instantaneous sampling in the field during to seven-week observation periods; July-August and November-December.
During daylight (between 9:00 and 16:00h) both cattle and koniks spent most of their
time foraging (33% and 50% respectively). In the summer period foraging
time was significantly lower than in winter. Grassland was overall the preferred habitat type for foraging, though there is a difference of food intake between the cattle and konik. Cattle on average spent 71% of their
time foraging on grasses, while koniks spent 96% of their
time foraging on grasses. To investigate the habitat
use of the cattle and konik herds differs between seasons the date from this study (the only one including the summer period) was aggregated with data from the previous studies. There is a clear difference between seasons on the habitat
use of the cattle and konik. Foraging
time significantly is significantly lower in summer for all herds. Also there is a shift in preferred foraging habitat during autumn when the cattle spent less
time foraging in grasslands and more in scrubs and forest.
The resulting information from the analysis of the habitat
use and foraging in different seasons can be used to say something about the influence of the Highland cattle and Konik horses on Landtong Rozenburg on the vegetation structure. As the Highland cattle focus their foraging in the grasslands they help to maintain grassland. The cattle forage throughout the entire area on grass, but more importantly also on scrubs which will result in an open vegetation structure. Together the koniks and cattle help maintain an open, diverse vegetation structure on Landtong Rozenburg.

▼ In developing countries, where there are limited resources and social support, children rely primarily on their family for their well-being. Their lives are affected by the configuration of household members, by the type of family structure, and by household decision processes that determine the resources that are allocated for their well-being. This dissertation examines the influence of family structure on the outcomes of children's well-being, using the case of Cambodia, where between 2000 and 2010 the children composed more than a third of the population.To assess the link between family structure and the well-being of children in Cambodia, this dissertation uses multilevel modeling. It examines three aspects of well-being. The first is the amount of time invested on children. The second examines the nutritional status of children. The third is the risk of infant mortality. In this investigation I focus on two forms of family structure: nuclear and multigenerational. For our purposes, a multi-generational household is one containing one or more grandparents.To consider the investment of time, I take advantage of time-use data collected by the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey and assess time spent on childcare individually and collectively by members of the household. My analysis reveals that children in multigenerational households receive more childcare time than those in nuclear households. Moreover, the additional care time these children receive is due to the presence of grandparents. Grandparents supplement maternal care time.To assess the nutritional status of children in Cambodia, I use three waves of the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey from 2000, 2005 and 2010. My findings reveal that children in multigenerational households have better nutritional outcomes than children in nuclear households. The gains of children in multigenerational households increased over the decade. This finding suggests that even though national economic development improves the overall health status of children, those coresiding with grandparents are the most advantaged.To detect possible influences of family structure on infant and child mortality, I explore whether or not the health advantage of children in multigenerational households extends to a survival advantage. Findings reveal that even in the earliest stages of life, the presence of grandparents safeguard infant survival more than the presence of a father in the household.

▼ Nuoruus on nopeaa aikuiseksi kypsymisen aikaa, johon liittyy uusien asioiden kokeilua ja omaksumista. Lapsuudessa harvinainen päihteiden käyttö yleistyy keskinuoruudessa voimakkaasti. Myös mielenterveyshäiriöt kuten masennus yleistyvät nuoruudessa nopeasti ja saavuttavat aikuisuudessa esiintyvän tason. Masennus on nuorten yleisimpiä ja merkittävimpiä mielenterveyden häiriöitä. Alkoholin ja muiden päihteiden käyttö aiheuttaa terveydellisiä, myös mielenterveydellisiä ja monenlaisia sosiaalisia ongelmia, joita yhteisesiintyminen masennuksen kanssa edelleen hankaloittaa. Itsetuhokäyttäytyminen, jota itsetuhoiset ajatukset edustavat lisääntyy niin ikään nuoruudessa.
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää itseilmoitettujen masennusoireiden ja päihteiden käytön välisiä yhteyksiä sekä mahdollisia sukupuolieroja. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin myös itsetuhoisten ajatusten, joiden tiedetään liittyvän masentuneisuuteen, yhteyttä päihteiden käyttöön.
Edelleen tutkittiin mahdollisia muutoksia masennuksen yleisyydessä vuodesta 2000 vuoteen 2011 sekä sitä ovatko muutokset samanlaisia eri sosioekonomistaustaisilla nuorilla.
Lopuksi tutkittiin, ovatko alkoholin käytön muutokset ajassa (trendit) samanlaisia eri sosioekonomistaustaisilla nuorilla sekä sitä vaikuttaako masentuneisuus alkoholin käytön trendeihin näiden eri sosioekonomisten ryhmien välillä.
Tutkimusaineistona käytettiin suomalaista väestötutkimusta Kouluterveyskyselyä. Kouluterveyskysely on joka toinen vuosi vuodesta 1995 tehty valtakunnallinen poikkileikkaustutkimus nuorten terveydestä, terveystottumuksista ja koulukokemuksista. Masennuksen ja päihteiden käytön (tutkimus I) sekä itsetuhoisten ajatusten ja päihteiden käytön yhteyttä (tutkimus II) tutkittiin vuoden 1997 aineistolla, joka käsitti 17643 14- 16- vuotiasta peruskoulun kahdeksannen ja yhdeksännen luokan oppilasta.
Masennuksen ja alkoholin käytön trendejä tutkittiin niiden 535 koulun aineistossa, jotka ovat osallistuneet jokaiseen kuuteen tutkimukseen vuosien 2000 ja 2011 välillä. Kyselyn palautti kaikkiaan 618084 oppilasta.
Alkoholin käyttö, erityisesti tiheä alkoholin käyttö ja muiden päihteiden käyttö vähäisessäkin määrin olivat yhteydessä masennukseen. Mitä enemmän päihteiden käyttöä oli sen enemmän oli myös masennusta. Huolimatta tyttöjen ja poikien päihteiden käytön eroista ja tytöillä poikia yleisemmästä masennuksen esiintymisestä masennuksen ja päihteiden käytön välisessä yhteydessä ei todettu sukupuolieroja.
Vakavien itsetuhoisten ajatusten todettiin olevan yhteydessä humalahakuiseen ja tiheään alkoholin käyttöön. Vakavat itsetuhoiset ajatukset olivat myös itsenäisesti masennuksesta riippumatta yhteydessä muiden päihteiden kuin alkoholin käyttöön.
Tytöt raportoivat masennusta jonkin verran enemmän tutkimuksen lopussa (2010- 2011) kuin tutkimuksen alussa (2000- 2001). Pojilla vastaavaa trendiä ei havaittu. Merkittävä tulos oli, että niillä nuorilla sekä tytöillä että pojilla, joiden vanhemmat olivat vähän kouluttautuneita ja työttömiä, jo ennestään yleinen masennus edelleen…

▼ This three-paper dissertation examines how daily family life has changed since 1975 and how these changes are associated with the relationship quality of married and cohabiting couples. In the first paper, I examine changes in shared family
time since 1975 by analyzing data from two U.S. datasets:
Time Use in Economic and Social Accounts (1975-1976) and the American
Time Use Survey (2009-2012). For married individuals,
time spent with a family member increased from 406 minutes in 1975 to 440 minutes in 2009-2012. Among singles, the amount of
time spent with family on a typical day averaged 340 minutes in 2009-2012, up from 291 minutes in 1975. Despite increases in
time spent together, participation in family meals declined modestly over the
time period. Sixty-six percent of married adults shared evening meals with family in 1975 compared with 63 percent in 2009 to 2012.
The second paper examines how family routines are related to the quality of parents’ relationships. I analyze data from a sample of married and cohabiting primary caregivers in the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS). Findings suggest that eating family dinners together is associated with higher-quality relationships along a number of dimensions, including willingness to compromise, expression of affection and encouragement. I find that an additional family meal per week is associated 1.14 higher odds of being “extremely happy” with one’s relationship versus the cumulative odds of poorer relationship assessments.
In the third paper, I examine how distances regularly travelled by adults in married and cohabiting relationships are associated with the quality of their partnerships. Analysis of the L.A.FANS provides modest support for associations between long commutes to work and low-quality relationships. However, travelling greater distances to some locations is positively associated with a number of relationship outcomes including willingness to compromise, expression of affection, and a global assessment of relationship quality. Compared to respondents travelling less than .5 miles to the place they spend the most
time, individuals travelling 1-2 miles have 2.49 times the odds of reporting that they are “extremely happy” with their relationship versus the odds of lower relationship assessments.

▼ To maintain a healthy weight and minimize the risk of negative health outcomes, federal guidelines advocate for regular participation in moderate-intensity exercise. Despite the efforts of such public health campaigns, many Americans may find it difficult to engage in the recommended amount of exercise while also devoting
time to the demands of work and parenting. Previous research examining the relationship between work, parenting, and taking part in exercise has not adequately teased apart the differences between occupying a role and performing said role. Using data from the American
Time Use Survey’s (ATUS) Eating and Health Module (EHM), I draw on social role theory and the
time availability perspective to examine whether there are distinct effects of worker/parental occupancy versus work/parenting role performance. Results from zero-inflated negative binomial regression models indicate that the relationship among work, parenting, and exercise varies depending on whether the worker/parent role is operationalized in terms of occupancy or performance. I conclude that research focusing on the link between social roles and health behaviors must take care not to conflate role occupancy indicators with role performance indicators.

▼ In single choice modeling, methods like the popular multinomial logit (MNL) are focused on estimating the probability of each alternative to be chosen given specific conditions. This can be very limiting for scenarios where the decision makers consume more than one alternative. Multiple discrete-continuous (MDC) models address this issue by accounting for the allocation of a constrained budget (e.g., money or
time) across a set of available alternatives, rather than a binary consumption or not.
The standard approach for MDC models is the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) choice model and is based on a Gumbel distribution for the stochastic component. From a behavioral perspective of the consumers, the positive skewness of a Gumbel distribution does not accurately describe the expected nor observed rational consumption of goods. A negatively skewed distribution for the stochasticity terms describes better the perceived value from the decision makers for the available alternatives.
In the single choice framework, the Exponomial choice has been proved to offer better behavioral and data fitness properties compared to a regular MNL. This work presents the development and properties of the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Exponomial Choice (MDCEC) that holds an elegant closed form for the likelihood function that, unlike the MDCEV, offers easiness of implementation for heteroscedasticity across alternatives.
The ability from MDCEC to retrieve the true value of the parameters is demonstrated using simulated data under a variety of conditions and later, the MDCEC is compared to the MDCEV in an empirical case of activity
time use for activity-based travel demand applications, where the MDCEC approach provides a significant better fit to the empirical data.

▼ Using multilevel modeling to take advantage of long-term, longitudinal data collected from two siblings and two parents from each of about 200 families, the three studies in this dissertation examined the developmental course and adjustment and family correlates of youths’
time with parents,
time with peers, and
time spent on leisure-
time physical activity (LTPA) from middle childhood through adolescence. Study 1 focused on parent-child social (parent, child, and others present) and dyadic (only parent and child present)
time. The results showed that social
time with parents declined across adolescence, but dyadic
time with mothers and fathers peaked in early and middle adolescence, respectively. Moreover, secondborns’ social
time with parents declined more slowly than firstborns’, and gendered
time use patterns were more pronounced in boys and in opposite-sex sibling dyads. Additionally, youths who spent more dyadic
time with their fathers, on average, had higher general self-worth, and changes in social
time with fathers were positively linked to changes in youths’ social competence. Study 2 focused on
time with opposite- and same-sex peers. The results indicated that girls’ and boys’
time with opposite-sex peers increased beginning in middle childhood and early adolescence, respectively, and that youths’
time with same-sex peers peaked in mid-adolescence. Moreover, changes in unsupervised (no adults present)
time with opposite-sex peers positively predicted changes in youths’ problem behaviors and depressive symptoms by the following year, and changes in supervised (adults present)
time with opposite-sex peers positively predicted changes in youths’ school performance by the following year. Study 3 focused on
time spent on LTPA (e.g., sports, water activities, hiking and camping). The results suggested that LTPA increased during middle childhood and declined across adolescence, and this decline was more pronounced for girls than for boys. Moreover, on occasions when mothers and fathers spent proportionally more
time on LTPA with youths than usual, youths also spent more total
time on LTPA than usual. Taken together, these studies highlight the importance of contextualizing the study of youth development and alert interventionists about the role of both mothers and fathers in promoting youth exercise participation and physical health.

▼ Supermarkten zijn continu op zoek naar de gunst van de klant en naar mogelijkheden om hun operationele kosten te beperken. In toenemende mate doen zij dat door het aanbieden van self-service technologie (SST’s), apparaten of systemen waarmee klanten zelfstandig bepaalde handelingen kunnen uitvoeren. De meest recente ontwikkeling is de introductie van self-scanapparaten. Hiermee wordt een consument in de gelegenheid gesteld om tijdens het boodschappen doen zelf alle streepjescodes te scannen waarna bij de kassa alleen nog afgerekend hoeft te worden.
Een verkenning in al eerder verricht onderzoek naar het bestaansrecht en de toegevoegde waarde van scanapparaten, leidde tot het traceren van een aantal theoretische invalshoeken. Eén daarvan houdt zich bezig met de vraag welke invloed bepaalde factoren zouden kunnen hebben op de houding die een klant aanneemt tegenover een SST en daaraan verbonden, op zijn bereidheid tot het gebruik van die SST. Op een enkele uitzondering na, werd steeds de bereidheid tot gebruik onderzocht maar werd niet begonnen vanuit de observatie of iemand een apparaat nu wel of niet daadwerkelijk gebruikte.
In verschillende onderzoeken wordt de factor tijd meegenomen. Sommigen onderzochten tijd aan de hand van tijdsdruk/haast, een persoonlijke omstandigheid. Anderen namen de ervaren drukte op de plaats van handeling mee in hun onderzoek. In een direct vergelijk is nog niet eerder onderzocht door welke van deze factoren (systeemkenmerken, tijdsdruk en ervaren drukte) een consument besluit om een scanner wel of niet te gebruiken. Deze overweging heeft geleid tot de onderzoeksvraag van dit afstudeeronderzoek:
“Wat is de relatieve invloed van systeem-, situationele en persoonlijke factoren op het feitelijk gebruik van SST’s”.
Dit onderzoek heeft zich dus vooral gericht op de consumentenzijde van het wederzijdse belang dat met scanning samenhangt. De invloed, die factoren die iets zeggen over hoe men tegen de SST aankijkt, uitoefenen op het daadwerkelijk gebruiken van een scanner, is gemeten aan de hand van het bekende Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). De tijdsfactoren zijn overgenomen uit ander onderzoek naar SST’s.
De onderzoeksdata zijn aan de hand van een vooraf opgestelde vragenlijst verzameld via een één op één enquête in twee supermarkten. De dataverzameling vond plaats gedurende één volledige week in het voorjaar van 2016. Op basis van de primaire data-analyse is besloten om de conclusies te baseren op gegevens van een van de winkels en niet op beide. 430 personen zijn daardoor definitief in de onderzoeksgroep opgenomen (respons percentage 75%). De mate van gebruik van de scanner blijkt hoog. 80% van de consumenten gebruikt de scanner tijdens het boodschappen doen. Leeftijd lijkt daarbij niet van belang. In elke leeftijdsgroep bleek het gebruik 70% of hoger te zijn. De mate van gebruik van een scanner loopt wel op naarmate het boodschappenbedrag hoger wordt.
De factoren die volgens het Technology Acceptance Model een belangrijke invloed hebben op de intentie om een SST te gaan…

▼ Much of the research about college student engagement
is based upon self-reported surveys, but little is known about how
students formulate responses to these instruments. The purpose of
this study was to specifically address this dearth of knowledge by
deepening our understanding of how students’ perceptions of their
environments and demographic characteristics influenced their
response patterns on self-reported surveys. Bronfenbrenner’s (2005)
human ecology model of development, Bourdieu and Passeron’s (1990)
theory of social reproduction, and Tourangeau, Rips, and Rasinski’s
(2000) four phase survey response process were used, as the
theoretical framework to better understand this phenomenon. This
was an explanatory sequential mixed methods study, and the
participants were first-year undergraduate students at a four-year,
private institution in New England. Students completed the College
Student Report (CSR) as well as a series of
time-
use diaries, and
the results of the instruments were compared using descriptive and
multivariate analyses. Finally, semi-structured individual
interviews were conducted, which included aspects of retrospective
cognitive interviewing, with twenty-seven (27) students to
understand how their experiences and response processes were shaped
by their individual campus experiences and identities. Findings
from this study suggest the construct validity of self-reported
survey data measuring behavioral frequency patterns is
questionable, as students statistically significantly under
reported
time spent preparing for class, engaging in co-curricular
activities, commuting to campus, and relaxing and socializing.
Furthermore, student characteristics such as racial/ethnic identity
and satisfaction with college choice statistically significantly
explained some of the variance in the reporting behaviors of
students after controlling for other factors. This information
coupled with the data gleaned from the semi-structured individual
interviews indicate factors related to how students differentially
experience the campus environment based upon their unique
ecological niches affects how they respond on self-reported
surveys, which means the data provided by such instrumentation is
likely providing substantively different information than how it is
most commonly interpreted and applied.
