Sector and Role Comparisons (H1) Results produced statistically significant (or marginally significant) differences for sector and role (combined as a single variable) for all outcomes except role well-being.

This study also revealed this to be true, ( F (5,184) = 11.33, p < 0.001, adjusted R 2 = 0.22, R 2 change = 0.02; ß = 0.16, p = 0.02), however, the relationships were partially, but significantly, mediated by parental and partner communication, with highly significant pathways and a significant overall Sobel test statistic.
