Notes: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005. Values in bold along the main diagonal line represent reliability and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha). For the role overload, health behaviors, health perception, and background variables Cronbach’s alpha values were not calculated (some are objective background variables that should not contain measurement error, and for some it was not possible to calculate reliability). The simple correlations between research variables are under the main diagonal line. Correction for attenuation (above the main diagonal line) was performed using the formula rxy (corrected)=rxy (observed)αx×αy [58].
