Notes: Caregiver N = 173; caregiver-day N = 1,359 for role overload moderation. Employed caregiver n = 72; caregiver-day n = 563 for work conflict moderation. Models are fully adjusted for the same within-person and between-person covariates as the previous models.
aDaily actual time away (hours); person-mean centered (i.e., time-varying). bMean scores of three items (1 = none of the time to 4 = all of the time). cPerceived breaks from caregiving; 1 = never to 4 = often (i.e., time-invariant). dMean scores of nine items (1 = none of the time to 4 = all of the time); asked only for employed caregivers.
