False. Has persisted for centuires.
T/F: Evidence of a perceived lack of lifestyle balance is widespread
True
According to Matsuka (2006), lifestyle balance and the mental health movement began when?
- Rooted in the work of Adolph Meyer
- Mental hygiene movement, which resulted from concern with societal changes that created unsanitary conditions and other stressful circumstances

B. Psychobiology.
- Rapid growth of industry and living conditions of cities contributed
- Recognized health consequences of stressful life

T/F: According To Christiansen and Matsuka (2006), recent research as focused on occupations and how they contribute to well-being
False. Most recent research on lifestyle and health has focussed on occupations and how they relate to specific conditions such as HTN, heart disease, or diabetes. Seldom include perspectives of lifestyle and stress as they influence health and well-being

A. They agreed with them and incorporate them in their own work
B. They agree with the general methods, but felt the proportions were off
C. They feel time should not be measured at all
D. They stated they were not useful because they lack contextual features of time and there may be reported time use errors
D.
-There is not objective validation of reported time use estimates
-Does not provide contextual and qualitative features of time use
Perceived enjoyment or meaning of time spent
According to Christiansen and Matsuka (2006) why is time such an important dimension of lifestyle balance?
- Knowledge of how people spend their time provides useful insights into the nature and frequency of their occupations
- Requires valid and reliable means for measuring and analyzing time use
According to Christiansen and Matsuka (2006), what is the objective of exploring time as it relates to lifestyle balance?
To identify distinct patterns of occupation that can be appropriately classified and associated with measures of health and well-being

Christiansen and Matsuka (2006) state that role stress occurs when there is an inability to meet the requirements of one’s roles (role strain) and that role burden is an approach to identifying activity-related factors that promote or impair health. What do they say is the difference between role burden and role strain?
A. Role strain has subjective determinants
B. Role burden has subjective determinants
C. Role burden results in more detrimental effects
D. Role strain results in more detrimental effects
B. Role burden has subjective determinants.

Concept mentioned in Christiansen and Matsuka (2006) which is described as the ability to successfully adapt to the demands of multiple roles A. Role burden B. Role Strain C. Role Balance D. Work/non-work and work/family balance
