The goal of the Work-Life Research Lab is to conduct psych-social research related to issues germane to the well-being of employees in both the work and non-work context. The hallmark of the research is advancing the understanding the impact that individuals\u2019 life roles have on health and well-being. Based on the basic tenets of role theory, the lab has centers on two important life roles; work and family, with a focus on high stress occupations. Much of our work is based on two theoretical models. First, the work-linked model helps explain why and under what conditions a person succeeds under the stresses of being in a work-linked marriage and in a high stress occupation. Second, the exchange-based dual-military marriage model describes the importance that perceived resources and the exchange relationship have on dual military members. The model posits that a key component to a successful dual-military marriage (or any work-linked marriage) is navigating key life events such as whose career takes precedence; when\/if the couple should have children, and whether individual career advancement or collocation is the priority. The work-life research lab also focuses on special populations (e.g., LGBTQ, veterans) and general diversity issues (e.g., women in STEM, signals of diversity).<\/p>\n Ann Huffman and Dr. Heidi Wayment were recently awarded a $1.4 million Department of Defense grant <\/a>for their research on Psychological Health and Resilience of Military Personnel<\/em> to develop a quiet ego phone app, and assess a quiet ego intervention in a military population.<\/p>\n Note: Asterisks denote NAU student coauthors.<\/strong><\/p>\n Wayment, W.
