Summary: This study found that the work-connected behavior of employees during non-working hours has a double-edged sword effect on their work and family. Work-family enrichment can positively impact thriving at work and family, but it can also lead to work-family conflict. The support from family members moderates this effect, strengthening positive impact and reducing negative impact.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the usefulness of self-report measures in predicting subsequent notifications of harm to Child Protection Services (CPS). The results showed that individual psychological constructs and cumulative risk scores were not associated with notifications of harm among the participants. Two background factors, having more children and a personal history of neglect, were found to predict CPS notifications. Therefore, self-report measures of mood, emotional regulation, parenting self-efficacy, and substance use may not be effective in child protection casework or court assessments.
