Variability in individual home-work activity patterns

Relationship functioning and home and work demands predict individual differences in diurnal cortisol patterns in women.

In 70 middle-class mothers of 2-year-old children, individual differences in mothers' morning cortisol levels, cortisol decreases across the day and average cortisol levels were predicted from demographic and medical control variables, maternal relationship functioning and home and work demands. For two days, salivary cortisol levels were measured in the morning immediately after wakeup, four t...

Inter-individual Variability of Coumarin 7-hydroxylation (CYP2A6 activity) in an Iranian Population

Variability in individual activity bursts improves ant foraging success.

Using experimental and computational methods, we study the role of behavioural variability in activity bursts (or temporal activity patterns) for individual and collective regulation of foraging in A. senilis ants. First, foraging experiments were carried out under special conditions (low densities of ants and food and absence of external cues or stimuli) where individual-based strategies are m...

Individual differences in satisfaction with activity-based work environments

Satisfaction with activity-based work environments (ABW environments) often falls short of expectations, with striking differences among individual workers. A better understanding of these differences may provide clues for optimising satisfaction with ABW environments and associated organisational outcomes. The current study was designed to examine how specific psychological needs, job characte...
