However, there is a need to investigate how gender may moderate the connection between job demand and quality of work-life, especially among female police personnel who are often faced with challenges of balancing family and work responsibilities. Against this background, this study tested the level at which gender moderates the relationship between job demand and police personnel’s quality of work-life. Participants were 944 police personnel (429 females; 515 males) whose ages ranged from 24 to 60 years (M = 38.66 years, SD = 8.43). The study hypotheses were tested with 3-step hierarchical multiple regression. The results showed that job demand led to a significant decrease in quality of work-life of police personnel. Gender significantly moderated the relationship between job demand and quality of work-life, in such a way that fem...

prevalent among individuals in the age range of 15 and 35 years. There is a
need to investigate the most vulnerable group (late adolescence, early young
adulthood, middle young adulthood, and late young adulthood) within the 15
and 35 years broad age category in order to efficiently direct the focus of
intervention. This study, therefore, compared the level of suicidal ideation in
four age categories of adolescence and young adulthood. They were 680
(336 males; 344 females) undergraduates whose ages averaged 23.10 years
(SD= 8.02) with a range of 15 to 35 years. They responded to a measure of
suicidal ideation. Results of the One-way ANOVA indicated that
undergraduates who were early young adults had significantly the highest
level of suicidal ideation compared with those in the other age categories.
Gender had a significant influence on suicidal ideation; with male
undergraduates being more suicidal in their thoughts. In order to manage
suicidal ideation among undergraduates, psychological intervention should
focus the enhancement of cognitive resources and coping abilities, especially
among the males. The psychological profiling of undergraduates should be
encouraged in order to know those that are susceptible to suicidal ideation
or may have low coping ability.
