Creating a Balance between work and family is a challenge faced by many psychologists. This study examined an integrated model of resources, work–family conflict, family, work, and life satisfaction among professional psychologists. To test this model, a sample of 368 doctoral psychologists who worked at least 20 hours a week and who were married and/or had children were selected from respondents to a national survey on professional and family life.

Respondents worked an average of 39.6 (SD _11.10) hours a week. Analyses confirmed that these respondents experienced significantly higher levels of both WFC and FWC than those from the larger sample that were excluded based on selection criteria.
